What I don't like about her. She can be tribalistic and her love for gayism stuff puts people off.



In a video interview, she said she supports Peter Obi because she is an Igbo woman and Peter Obi is Igbo.
You lie!

Comments like this gets me angry. Like are you stupi.d or something?

MC oluomo that supported Tinubu because he is a Yoruba man nko? How about ffk, bayo, brymo and Soyinka who supported Tinubu because he is their fellow Yoruba man, so they are not tribal bigot? When a Yoruba supports Tinubu he or she isn't a tribal bigot bah?. But the moment an Igbo supports Obi he or she becomes a tribal bigot?

She should channel her energy to ipob, one begins to wonder why she was not vocal against the Monday sit at home and the mass murder in the east by ugm. Would she have aired her opinion if the winner was from the west or north? She loves to hate Nigeria we don't need her bigotry opinion.
All her opinions should be forwarded to emma powerful.
Long live Peter Obi.

We all love to hate Nigeria. It is a land of injustice and repugnant previous generations.

I think you are suffering from undiagnosed myopia.

The problem you have with her is her impeccable command of the English language.

Professor Wole Soyinka suffers the same effect that comes with a good mastery of the English language but, Prof's problem is his ambivalence. He doesn't want to be caught supporting any side and so he equivocates.

He doesn't want to be caught supporting any side?

I guess you don't know Soyinka's history or you were born yesterday.

He is a radical and does not give 2 hoots what anybody thinks.

His past shows this and more.

I am sure you will be most proud of yourself if you were just a 10th, the man he is.

But I know you can't understand.
Re: “I Strongly Disagree With Prof. Soyinka” - Chimamanda Adichie by barinedan(m): 9:18am On Apr 12, 2023
In order to maintain the respect people have for her, she should stay far away from politics, Nigerian politics stains

Oh I see on same arise interview matters. Good to see that she disagreed and not start treating people to boycott his book just because of hatred that some people grow up with. She has the right to disagree, it's her opinion and she is noted for that.
Wole is like a father to her in all ramifications and she won't descend so low to insult him just the way some want to create serious rancour between a father and a daughter. grin grin
You are on point.

Mtchew..

This pained Shima-radarada is voicing out her agony. What is paining her is not the interview..

What’s paining her is the image below - it started from Ashunu Ashebi then got passed onto her, alas! , it’s not fast spreading in their region..

The most unfortunate thing for them is that there’s absolutely nothing they can do about it, except to be waking up everyday to bitterness & sadness!

Ashunu Ashebi grin cheesy

Damn! cheesy

Who is she to agree or disagree with Prof Soyinka?

Nonentities are pushing her too far.

One thousand ants cannot lift a cube of sugar, they can only perambulate and confuse themselves the more.

Her professional father tried gods we know how it ended.

People often disagree to agree later.

Trust Wole, if she agree, he go Wole straight. grin
Re: “I Strongly Disagree With Prof. Soyinka” - Chimamanda Adichie by shonepa(m): 10:55am On Apr 12, 2023
Fine, but she was asked about Datti Baba interview with the Arise TV.

Soyinka criticised Dattis comments on Channels TV.

Those two interviews are completely different.

Guy, I see that you're just a paid agent of fake news and propaganda for the APC.

But at least, do it well. A simple Google search shower that that quote doesn't exist. And in the arise interview she categorically stated that she doesn't support PO because she is Igbo.

But that's not the main issue sef. Is anything she said wrong? Both in the interview and the letter to Joe Biden, is anything she said false?
