And he is mentally alert. May God help my Dad that is just 75 and Is having mild dementia, recovering from prostate and sometimes, unaware of his environment and easily forgets topics of discussion. Good health is wealth. I will choose good health any time.

Happy birthday to you Daddy!

After my amiable late Chinua Achebe, the next man i respect and love with all my heart and soul is Wole Soyinka.

Even though he contributed in puting us in this mess we find ourselves today by endorsing an empty numbskull, a dullard, a buffoon, a clueless uselessss bastard called Buhari , but my love for this great man is still unshakable.

He gave the best advice in the circumstance. And Buhari would av won with or without Wole Soyinka's endorsement. Or are you saying Soyinka carries more political weight than baba Iyabo?

That is not his legacy. He was invited to join PC than and being the youngest, he was made the captain. And besides, PC left campus for you guys when you people decided to turn confraternity into something obnoxious and dark. NAS is not a secret any more. Deck are location in town and non members can visit

These old men make one realize life is longer than proclaimed. When one is old enough to birth university aged children this day only to find out Soyinka was in his late forties when the individual was born. I believe it’s underachievers who claim life is short because they spend their existence in a haze; eating, sleeping and kpenshing.

Everyday ignoramuses like you must be educated. Go check the meaning of confraternity in your dictionary before you disgrace yourself further.

Happy birthday to our dear erudite professor. You are indeed an inspiration to black Africa and indeed to humanity.

By the way, I like your hair, they are uniformly whitish but that does not make us to forget that you are a genuine black. I dove my cap sir, big CONGRATULATIONS.

Please do not continue to challenge pa Obasanjo's age. We already know who is older.
I am waiting anxiously for my invitation. Thank you in advance sir.

I am free to choose whoever i want to choose over anybody, its my choice and i have my reasons for it. Achebe over Wole Soyinka anyday anytime. But the fact still remains that Wole Soyinka is a great man.


That idiot of your president can never be my mate. So don't even go there.
