You must be nuts to think Nigeria is in good hands with the present hardship due to frequent policy somersault by the current administration. Does it look like things are getting better to you? Nigeria is currently a lliving hell and you are here typing long jargons I didn't even bother to read...it is either you are not based in Nigeria or you are one of the few benefiting from government....go to the streets or take a trip to the nearest market to see the cost of goods, go back to that same market next week and see if the price they told you haven't gone up.

How can you even improve the quality of life of the citizens when Peter Obi is your problem? are you in power to always attack Peter Obi and masturbate over his speech or silence or fix Nigeria? Idiotic idiots.

Lieing is an attribute of the Obedients, so I am not surprised.

You lied that you did not read my write-up, you were able to quote me for saying that Nigeria is in good hands.

I understand your state of mind. Hate-filled mindset.

Anyways, when you mentioned high cost of food items in your regurgitated write up, it shows that you did not comprehend what I have said in my write up (and I actually alluded to this that Obedients do not have the mental capacity to comprehend simple things).

Nigeria is currently receiving treatment and there will be some pain.

The president is not apologetic about giving the treatment but he is concerned about the attendant pain.

But he always offers his reassuring words of hope and renewed hope, that the gain is around the corner.

I don't work for government, I am not a BATIST. I am in Nigeria and I believe in the country and I believe the president is working to set the country on the part of recovery and greatness.

But once in a while, we need the rant of the traducers like you just to be alert and ensure that the treatment continues (just like the patient must be conscious of the flies and germs roaming about during the treatment so that he will continue to ensure that he does not miss the treatment sessions).

No we cannot explain anything
then you cannot force anyone recognize a mumu professor grin

o a member of the headless mob, one of the fans of the man that gets his ideas from mad men.

We cannot explain anything to a bigoted soul, someone who hates but doesn't understand even the reason for his hatred for the blessed people of the South West where intellectual giants lived and continue to live:

Obafemi Awolowo
Jakande
Gani Fawehinmi
Wole Soyinka
Abraham Adesanya
Adekunle Fajuyi
Olarotimi


Never again in this nation will we have people of questionable characters like: Ojukwu, Peter Agulu Obi, Nnamdi Kanu, Ekpa, Racoon, Mrvitalis.


So we will not explain to you because you cannot comprehend it.
this foolish idiot thinks everyone is igbo or is into tribalism grin grin

If the mumu prof isn't mumu why is he being sentimental.

A prof being sentimental is that a prof?

As for Soyinka, it was better if he had never been born. Being the pioneer of cultism and a part architect of the present political and economic upheaval is enough misdemeanour for one person.

Asking you to stop is one way. Although we know trolls are usually set in their mischief, so a word of caution could be disregarded.

Photo) Wole Soyinka with General Yakubu Gowon.
I think you need to get your story straight on why Soyinka was detained. In one post, you claimed he was detained because Obasanjo reported him and his activities. In the next post, you report Gowon himself as saying he war arrested because he was seen as disruptive and anti-military.
Which do we go with now?
Re: Today Is Professor Wole Soyinka's 90th Birthday by Kukutenla: 1:24pm On Jul 13
Prof. Wole Soyinka is a great man indeed. One of Africa's brightest minds, his works are a part of my childhood and youth. He's a shining emblem worthy of celebration and an inspiration to the African child that indeed the African man can rub shoulders with the best in any field of endeavour.
Happy 90th birthday to him and may he continue to witness more in good health and vitality.

It's like a relay race. One comes, fails and hands the baton to another. The other comes, fails and hands the baton to a third.

None of what they write ever makes sense. In fact you can clearly see that they just want a reaction by the fact that there is no logic or sense in their posts.

I'm basically just going to be ignoring them from now on and handing the extra ones to the fish basket.

Picture 3) Wole Soyinka on his matriculation day at the University College, Ibadan.

This man has aged gracefully.

I celebrate him and want to look so good at 90

Hypocrites and cowards, you insulted someone, it was returned back and you are crying, if your parents trained you well, why did they subtract sense from you?
Bigots.

mumu, you are not smart at all, you don't even know someone can actually glance through paragraphs without actually reading the whole content...I only responded to the words that got my attention in the midst of those jargons you wrote. Like now my eyes caught the line you said you are not a BATIST. Oga, anybody in support of this mess of a government is a BATIST or a ARTICULATE just as anyone not in support is an OBIDIENT...this shouldn't be difficult for you to figure out...You guys really have very low IQ.

Wole Soyinka won a Nobel prize for literature in 1986, the year African writers boycotted the Nobel prize.

His Nobel prize was a compensation and reward for the betrayal of his brothers and race.

Wole Soyinka is just a book seller of mid literature and a cultist, a tool of modern Mental Western Colonisation and has zero impact on African literature.

Read Chinua Achebe, Ben Okri, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o and you will see pure art, not lacing mediocrity under grammatical opaqueness. When you go through the stream of his verbosity you see character erosion and ....
My humble opinion ✌️👉👌

Congratulations to him for the blessing of longevity! He did well for himself on all those achievement in English literature. But I wish he translated anyone of physics, chemistry, physics,maths into Yoruba, he achievement would have been complete. Outside this, we are celebrating our bondage to imperialism!
