He doesn't Believe in God's Existence ,I still wonder what made people like them have such Thoughts .


Well HBD..

You are mistaking him for the late Tai Solarin.

The good Prof never said he's an atheist.

He doesn't subscribe to your Christian or Muslim God.

He practices Isese, Yoruba spirituality.

Damnnn niggarrrr
Congratulations to a real niggarr...

Despite he age see as he still handsome

I just dey wonder how many baby girls he bang during those days as a young niggarrrr

Coupled with the fact that he was rugged...Confirmed, real, tough and hard....
Baby girls are attracted to real, hard , tough and confirmed niggarrrrs because they are aware that a life without ruggedity is not worth living

Everything is mindset!

Follow peace with all men. Be temperate and moderate in all things. You don't have to cook troubles before your true strength is known. You are already strong without needing validity with uncouth ruggedity. Let he that has ear hear what the spirit says to the church.

Unlearn and relearn the true meaning of strength. May God continue to open our eyes of understanding.

Cheers!

Everyday ignoramuses like you must be educated. Go check the meaning of confraternity in your dictionary before you disgrace yourself further.
Confraternity cheesy Pyrates Confraternity is classified has a campus cult group, so stop fooling yourself

Awoo88:

That is not his legacy. He was invited to join PC than and being the youngest, he was made the captain. And beside, pC left campus for tour 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
PC started the present day cultistism in Nigeria, Soyinka can't escape the negative effect it's has on our society

lipsrsealed his only legacy for Nigeria youths is cultistism

What Wole Soyinka formed is not a cult ...
He even took a charge against a commissioner of police to oputa panel.
If it was a cult , would he have been able to do that ?
Here is a video clip on it below

Do your personal research and get the right facts ...the National association of Seadawgs (Pyrates confraternity) haseeting points nationwide and welcomes governor's , traditional rulers etc to the anchor point
..if it was a cult would this be possible ...?
Sadly ,most Nigerians are quick to perpetuate unconfirmed stories ...
Pls take a step back and join the crusaders of truth and light !

He already did escape the negative effect. The guy that invented the AK47 died a hero. Wole Soyinka will die one too. Did you blame the guy for the did of Fulani herdsmen killing with AK47? Besides, PC was not his ideal. He was invited to join and being the youngest, he was made the capoon following PC anti-convention philosophy

Tribal bigot! Who's Achebe where Soyinka is, that made you placed Achebe above..

You dots in the circle go about blaming everybody, tribe.. Didn't the brainwashed mbaka brainwashed his followers to vote in Buhari..

Buhari is not your mate!!!
Wole Soyinka is someone I admire very much but as much as literature is concerned, I place Achebe above Soyinka. While Soyinka is prolific, Achebe's work is way more classic though fewer.

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.

Why should he accept something he was never part of? People who started Buccerneer were expelled for falling short of PC standard. They started a murderous group. So if you want to blame anybody for cultism in Nigerian universities, blame bolaji carew. He and his expelled PC friends started a fable initiation of PC with a darker side.
