Personally, Buhari was right in his attempt at controlling Social Media. He may even have been ahead of his time since, later, most Nations began openly critiquing, implementing or attempting to control Social Media. America, UK and france, including. Nations responsible for advancing Liberal Democracy itself.

Wole Soyinka is typical of copyers. Copyers always overdo what they copy. We must overdo democracy, destroying ourselves to implement things even the West wouldn't . This is why black women are more feminist than Feminists, our young jettisoning tradition, hunor and pride all in the name of japparing.

[quote author=Kukutente23 post=126949829]There's something about these corny souls 🌽
It's how they are at home with their barefaced group hypocrisy.

Prof Soyinka was well and alive when Buhari was on seat and sending the bird to the gulag. He never uttered a word. The man is out of office in less than six months and you've suddenly found your voice to call him names.

We see this disgusting behaviour among the Zombies who chanted darling daddy and sai baba for 8 years only to repudiate the man like they've never known him once he left office.

This character makes me realise Zombies are not tical structure where northern soldiers created 20 new federating units (states) in one northern region but only 17 federating units in the two regions that entered independent Nigeria with the northern region in 1960.
The Soyinka's of the SW can now be noisy with Tinubu being in power, but Buhari's Arewa is still in charge.
Buhari warned that anyone who calls him to give account of his stewardship must be in trouble. A superpower man would do that.

They did it so that "their brother" can become President.

But the real question is, now that Tinubu is the President, how has the life of the average yoruba man improved? Won't their odds still be the same as that of other tribes? If that's the case, then why vote along tribal/religious lines??

Every region in this country voted along tribal line and it's harmful to the development of this country. I am not a Yoruba but I can say clearly that candidates of other tribes had more percentage of votes in the SW than what Tinubu got in the East. Las las, Hausa was the least tribalist in that election because Tinubu had a fair percentage in the North, handling him the win. The East had almost 100% Obi, which depicts how tribalistic they are. Mind you, I am not tribalistic but I am speaking from reality and lastly I will reiterate it that no matter who becomes president, Nigeria cannot be better. It will only get worst, because there is no good foundation. Revolution is the only thing that can bring it back to factory setting and we start afresh.

So you are saying Soyinka never criticised Buhari while he was in office?

Read your last paragraph to yourself and ask yourself what your own motivation is for telling such a terrible and transparent lie.

A simple google search can reveal the truth of Soyinka's consistent stance on Buhari. But you're more interested in driving agendas.

Why? What's your motivation?

Soyinka called Patience Jonathan a sheepopotamus. So calling Buhari an idiot is not a surprise. The main point is the issue of hypocrisy exhibited by the professor that invaded a radio station with gun because his candidate did not win. He keeps talking about obedients using foul language when he is the professor of foul languages.

APC/Tinubu supporters clapped for Buhari for the ban. Is he saying that Tinubu supporters are idiots too?

Stop distorting history. Now it's time you do a whole lot of reading and have your facts. Soyinka never invaded a radio station with a gun .

And what about your own tribe if I may ask? Are they Angels? Mind you these same Yoruba that you are castigating together with very very few other tribes fought for this Democracy that you are struggling to enjoy. Where were your own tribe during the struggle for this Democratic dispensation if I may ask? What is even your own tribe's contributions towards the emancipation of this country since it's inception? Tell us pls.

Which democracy? Continue to deceive yourself! The only fight for democracy in Nigeria is before 1960 championed by our national heroes. That Abiola was denied in 1993 just like Obi was denied 2023 by Buhari is not a fight for democracy. Kogi and Imo gubernatorial election 2023, are Dino and Sam Anyanwu who were robbed by APC and INEC fighting for Democracy? Abiola fighting for his mandate is now a fight for democracy? Think twice!

You see the kind of democracy you so called people fought for. We are now fighting to take democracy to the level it should be. We are traditionally a democratic society where everyone's voice is heard and competition is acceptable, not killed.

God has remembered Nigeria and especially the Yorubas.
If you have a problem with that, then it's God you have a problem with, not man.

About the suffering, Rome wasn't built in a day. President Tinubu's administration is barely 9 months in.
If you are still alive by then, you may well enjoy the blessing just as you endure the suffering.

This man is thinks he is always correct.
However, the fact that someone cannot speak or write correctly in English doesn't make him or her not intelligence.
Intelligence is not the ability to speak or write in English language.
Intelligence is simply the ability to acquire and apply knowledge.

It's not what you can deny or wish away. Nigeria is going through famine and drought and e dey touch everybody including the President and our Oil Giants and Merchants, TeleComms and even Churches.
So, instead of denying the obvious, pray for Mercy and Favor. Because even in this famine, God is making a way for some, this is their season to shine and prosper.

Some thing to ponder over as you sleep. Good night.
