Charm O: Please i just wanna beg you all. Don't mention the Ibos in this cos the poster might not be ibo. Yorubas keep tossing all eastern and southern tribes together as Ibo and i hate it. PEJ has abused the little authority given to her by being meddlesome but WS is also meddling. His is a worse case cause this is a southern state issue and has nothing to do with him. They should both sheath their swords and behave like adults.

This guys are like the ignorant Americans who thinks Africa is a country. They see South East and South South as one.

I want a court for free thinkers too.

Na bus? See molue for air

funnyx: Enough of this another man's wife and mother bu11sh1t, stop pretending as if you and your ilk respect women more than the rest of us do.Respect is earned and you don't get it by default all the time. If this another man's wife or mother failed to respect herself and chosed to dance naked in the market square shoppers and passerby alike would not hesitate to sing songs of shame to her.
A Yoruba proverb says: Agbalagba to so agbado mo idi ti so ara e di alawada adie
Translates as: An elder who tie corn on his waist has turned himself to chickens (hen and cock) playmates.
Please tell your mother, your jesus christ on earth to respect herself and stop displaying her arrogance and uncouth behaviour everywhere.

Rant of another mad dog. MOP has spoken again today on the same issue. Read today's paper... The old man has lost it.

ideylaff: Can we try and make some sense here please.

This is the same Prof, that used his grey hair and old age to walk in the Abuja sun to effect and see that Jonathan was not edged out by Turai and her cohorts when Yar Adua was half alive.

I know prof very well, he his a very comfortable man, he does not need millions to live his life.

This is a man that travels as light as a bird, no hangers on, security or what not

All Prof is saying is Dame needs to be put on a dogs leech and held back b4 she destroys her husbands tenure with her domestic wah sola

Prof does not talk much as I know him, but I'm sure he got riled by the Aso hangers on and d dames camp

So point of correction Prof is not hungry oooooo

why justify actions that you will be morally challenged with if it was your mother?

yemight2776: The whole world is turning to another thing and am very surprise as how when this world is going this days. because i don't think how somebody like Prof.Wole Soyinka will be insulting another man wife and many people are still supporting him, but lets think of it to all of you that you are supporting Prof., can anybody insult your mother and still be supporting such person.don't let be political in all cases because you should consider PEJ as somebody mother and you should know that you can accept it when somebody is talking to your mother any how like this. i think Prof. did not have a dame right to talk to another man wife like this.....to me, Prof. was wrong to talk like that but am not even worry more to that than how many people are still supporting Prof. when u know that it is not right.....believe me God will judge everyone of us one day.

People are blinded.

Ola Johnson: Omo, they are still very much together. She was his student in the University of Ife (now OAU) who graduated in 1983.

Fourth wife?

WildChild00: AN Open Letter To Prof. Wole Soyinka [b][/b]

I bring you greetings from Port Harcourt. Fortunately, from my location, no hippos are in sight.

Your place in history is securely established. You are one of the very few that have been consistent through the decades in your stance. Every regime since independence has felt your bold presence. Your mastery of words is extraordinary…so good that people are afraid of replying you (for fear of exposing their lingual deficiency – by the way, I face that risk too). Prof, you are one of the few that excelled both in the academic world and the audacious realm of activism. At my age, you were already declared an enemy of the Nigerian state for daring to stand hand in hand with truth. Time has proved you one of Nigeria’s finest, and no one can negotiate that. It is in the light of this remarkable persona that I am bothered by your position on the rumble in the deltaic plains of Rivers State. Your summation, I'm afraid, is uncharacteristically one sided.



In your press conference, you brought to fore the brash affront to arithmetic rules, where 16 became greater than 19 and more recently 5 outnumbering 27. Prof, I share in your disgust. My discipline exposed me to mathematics beyond the ordinary. In all my romance with the subject, the only aspect of math that made provision for this absurd is found in the O LEVEL topic - Inequalities. However, that is only applied in finding unknowns and where a solution is only reached if it satisfies a condition (if the inequality is true). In these political equations at hand, there were no variables (unknowns) but constants - 35 and 32 respectively. Therefore 5 > 27 and 16 > 19 cannot be solutions to the political inequalities, respectively. Take this to CERN, take it to NASA, It defies both logic and mathematics, and I cannot agree any less with you as to the absurdity.



However, this numerical tragedy is not more disgusting than the show of shame at a chamber that should boast of hallowed men, and not the hollow species we saw on TV, Tuesday last. We saw a pro-Amaechi law maker hack down a colleague almost to the point of death. They said he was provoked. What manner of provocation should make a legislator act in such berserk manner (exponentially disproportionate to the magnitude of provocation)? Or is this the real case of failure to get the swamp out of the hippopotamus as you stated in your follow up? Also, no provocation should make the executive governor put himself in harm’s way in the manner in which he did. Imagine if anything had happened to him. We also saw a man clad in Police uniform and another, both alleged to be the Governor’s aides, joining in the melee. However, I find it surprising that you didn't reserve any choice word of condemnation for these acts of brigandage. You traced everything to the door step of the first lady, who at that time we read in the papers, was many time zones ahead in China. Prof, that is not a complete picture neither is it a fair assessment.





In your press conference, you described the first lady as a domestic appendage of power. Coming from a constitutional perspective, yes this is understandable for there is no phrase or compound word called “first lady” in the constitution. Prof, similarly, the constitution makes no such provision for a tier or arm of government, either implicitly or explicitly, called “Nigerian Governors Forum”. Unfortunately, the NGF is fast becoming another tier of government. It is as much a travesty as 16 > 19 portends. They gang up and stampede the President, deplete the excess crude account with reckless abandon and protect the political estates of members. In fact, they are fast becoming an electoral college for Presidential Elections – they pull the strings, provide the candidates from amongst them, and nominate the delegates at the primaries, etc. This is a threat to our brand of democracy. On a personal note, I’m afraid we lost our dear governor to this same body, for since he became the chairman of this group, things have slowed down back in the swamp. It’s been an expensive distraction thus far. Prof, you were silent on these things...or is there a part 2 coming?



Prof, the battle in Rivers State is set in the murky waters of the swamp. When the mace becomes the weapon, then you can imagine the level of deterioration. Like you mentioned, there are all manner of exotic species enmeshed in the messy swamp; some are buoyant carnivores, others pretentious parasites. Beatifying one at the expense of the other is plain travesty. I am inspired by your metaphorical wonder (of hippos, swamps, etc), the hippos with their physical presence and sheer brute dominate this battle. But you see, if a vet wants to capture the hippo, he won't come charging at the hippo with bare hands and expect to subdue it. He'll apply a tranquilizer and put it to sleep and the hippo becomes his for the treatment. Prof, your role as a statesman puts you in the stead of our dear Vet. We expect you to apply the intellectual tranquilizer of a statesman rather than diving in to the murky swamp. You are too much of an icon (one that I personally adore) to take sides with these politicians. Whichever side, whichever way, they carry dirty baggage from the swamp, one you’ll not be proud to be seen with from hindsight. Going personal on characters in the conflict without addressing all-sides of the real issues of the conflict will only fuel further conflict, and even leave you exposed to all manner of attacks from all sorts.



Finally Prof, from your last statement, you seem to have a good line of communication with the Governor. Please tell him we miss his old self. Tell him we miss that era where he was jumping on his power bike to inspect projects and ensure contractors were working. Tell him to stop these unnecessary battles, that he’s misappropriating energy in the process. The second part of the principle of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted from one form to another. Yes, our Governor has converted his positive energy into a negative one for unnecessary fights that is not of benefit to Rivers people. At the moment, he is at war with a legion; unbeknownst to him, he’s dragging us all with him into these murky waters. The continuous throbbing of the hippos increases the turbidity of the murky waters, and the masses are at the receiving end of all of this. When the Commissioner for Information in any state becomes busier than the Commissioner for works, it’s a curious sign of a flaming Rome. That is the situation the state is in at the moment. Even the man on the street in Maiduguri knows the name of the Commissioner of Information in Rivers State.



Please tell him not to listen to these sycophants around him urging him on to vain battles. They only qualify to be his friends because they are operating on the Chinese adage – The enemy of your enemy is your friend. We thought he’d learn from the mistakes of his ex-boss in this regard. Tell him to heed the advice of Afenifere or the wise counsel of Orji Uzor Kalu. Tell him that the real battle is to fix our infrastructure and ensure the dividends of democracy will trickle down to every home. We need our Governor to be focused like he was before. I traveled about 54km on the election morning just to make sure I vote for him because of what he did in his first two years in office. Today, he is held down by inertia. Nay, he's actually decelerating and resonating negative energy. He’s everywhere but nowhere!



Prof, by the way, the hippos and the manatees you mentioned are endangered in our swamp. The reckless activities of oil companies have chased them to extinction. We will be glad if you can help us lend your voice in this regard as well. Prof, you have been a blessing to Nigeria, and posterity will always treat you with honour.



Kind regards

Subtly put.

Whoever that may have read the French Revolution will agree that the level of resentment we have for powers that be in this country is worrisome and ripe for a revolution.

We as a people need to think of how to heal our country. It is pathetic what we all have become. Some of my words may have appeared hash and unguided as well but it was deliberate in order to see the reactions of those who defended the unguided utterances of an elder statesman. Wole Soyinka will remain respectable till death, but let this be an example to him and those that blindly support unbecoming body languages of our elders. I hereby apologize to everyone who felt slighted by my mere attempt to bring we as a people to listen and learn as well as to bring reasons to bear on the fact that WS over stepped his boundaries. God bless you all and may Wole Soyinka live long in good health. Amen. The bitterness needs to stop.

Darthmaul: What is wrong if anyone decides to call Patience Jonathan "madam shepopotamus"? After all he is a nigerian like the rest of us. He only said what most of us do in our discussions. Patience is not an elected official so she doesn't officially have an office to respect.
I am not saying what the professor did was wrong or right, but every nigerian is entitled to his/her opinion.
On the matter of Amaechi being his friend(fellow cultist), wouldn't you protect your friend(interest).
With this our sentimental attitude to every national issue, the future is indeed very bleak.

If only the mad old professor can be as open minded as possible to accept he spoke based on the bias of friendship and freedom of expression than impressing upon a non issue into something tangible that has now led to NIgerians questioning his successes in managing domestic issues talk less of advising another on how to manage a woman.

nitrogen: But, how come 3 million people were destroyed by one person?

Sleep over the question sir.

You mean awolowo the war criminal who used hunger as a weapon against non combatants! You all are tasteless. Is it something to be proud of sons of madness and associates of a mad old professor!!! Is it? War crimes that you denied when Achebe brought them up you stand tall to defend now posting kwashiorkor stricken Biafrian kids here to mock the misfortunes of a people that was deliberately developed and implemented by Awolowo- another hero of the south west. History has shown that Nigerians in general need to be careful about what your region have produced as leaders. Sad.

Ollajay: WS is a very brilliant scholar, a nobel lauret and professsor of high repute. But that alone is not sufficient to regard him as all round success in other spheres. For example, he is not really very sucessful in area of marriage. In the same way he is not an expert in politics or political leadership.

Unfortunately, his use of "abusive words" on PEJ is quite unbecoming of a man of his learning. He shouldnt use those words on PEJ or anyone at all. This type of misguided use of words has brought him to ridicule more than once. First, his use of words on the former SA to OBJ Mr Femi Fani-kayode led to insults and embarrasing words on Soyinka. Soyinka's comment on FFK suggested that there was something wrong with the level of intelligence of FFK's lineage referring to FFK's father. Unfortunately, WS didnt remember that FFK's father and grand father studied law at Cambridge (or some frontline UK Uni) and they both graduated with First Class.

WS was also insulted by Festus Keyamo when WS expressed a legal opinion which attempted to ridicule Keyamo. Keyamo insulted WS by saying he was "talking law and not tinkle tinkle little star", thereby saying WS can only speak on literature and not law.

The current use of words on PEJ by WS will further bring him to ridicle. If he continues this way, more and more people will insult him and he will lose a substantial amount of the respect he had.

Just my view though, anyone is free to disagree.

A must read.

nitrogen: Please, retire to the hut that your mistress gave to you and stop this nonsense. Don't forget to collect your pay-check from her for the job well done. Keep it beside you and plan on the peanut.

How much are you all paid that you are yet to retire sons of the MOP.

Madness has really caught up with sons of the mad old professor. You all lack the grace you seek to associate with MOP.

Back to the matter: Wole Soyinka has demonstrated nothing short of a Mad old Professor (MOP)

Why Do South Western Nigerians Abuse The President So Much? by akpomeme(m): 5:41am On Jul 06




Growing up in Lagos, I was thought manners by my parents and instructed to extend good regards to our Neigbours, friends and elders. My parents admired the Yoruba culture where the best virtues are supposedly inculcated in children.
Sadly, haven joined nairaland a while back, I have noticed elements from south west are abusive and arrogant. Every minute a thing is written about Mr. President, be it good or bad, they insult him. The question is: what does this say about the up bringing of these crop of young people? Have the western culture kick in so hard that we have lost our sense of moral virtues? Nigeria most admired culture for respect for elders is losing its grip on the young generation.

if you compare this past post of the OP with this post,you will know this is a person in the class of retardeen ge and retardenette pej

A dose of your own pill. I thought it was only the young guys that mouth off but one of your elders has joined you. Do you have a problem of being called out on mad instincts?

ifeness: If you think Papa wole is mad, it is now my dream to be as crazy as him. He is a shinning example to all those who have functioning brains.

Go on son. Good luck and God bless. At least we know some people have been convinced in the past to go through the path of self destruction. You will not be the first and it is equally a subjective sign of your mental situation at the moment. Go on son, run mad.

cute shade: u're d one that is mad and seems there are cockroaches in your brain, yabaleft awaits you.

nitrogen: Lies! I can bet it that you are eating from the crumbs that fall off the mistress' table.

But I am not.

wolexy14: Akpomeme I wonder if u ll let it rest r u d unborn child or aftermath child of shepopo...guy abeg go slp jawe e Don dey bore pesin.......if u no get work come dey polish my shoe b4 I go offix joor

Jonah and PEJ can't pay me talk less of an office boy like you.... I am thoroughly entertained from rattling wannabe commentators like you and many kid glove punchers on this thread. Never point a gun at a general and never shoot. MOP is a certified general and to bring him to have a rethink on his utterances, he needs to know how mad he has become.

A-ZeD:
Akpomeme
In your wisdom can you please tell us the meaning of domestic appendage?

When I am not mad

Ishsoph: And this is the most worisome part of it. He is the role model of our youths! Even a dunce could predict what the future holds for them - tripple divorce and self-loathicism orchestrated by lonliness....Ewwww!

The question is: where are the wives today? Are they still alive? If they are, what are there experiences with the monster called saint by his followers.

Dollarmind: U are madt...

you are a table madt

Here they come again. Because I am doing well enough as an individual and treat my innate writing skills for pleasure, I could'nt have sponsored peg or Gej at any level or do their bidding for personal interest. Does this answer your question son of a MOP?

Leystra: Sincerely speaking u are high, so u are telling me my role model is not normal it obviously shows u 're not in ur right senses... Hmmshwww!

My dear it is what it is. Dementsia no dey look face.

anago12: we know how they recruit y'all hungry lapdogs and lodged all of you at sambras international hotel in wuse 2.

So she-po should be left alone to spikes of the Mad Old Professor (MOP). God will always defend the defenseless. You call her illiterate and subdue her psychologically by making fun of her physical attributes, those are childish bullish weapons employed by MOP to intimidate the poor thing. Just like he stood for injustice most of his life, I owe him the duty of drawing the attention of his care givers to help him retain what is left of his good name. MOP has become pathetic in my very eyes. Sad.

delors: Whoever the author of this jargons is, get schooled. Prof. Wole is far above your reasoning. Because you forced uncommon vocabs into the piece of trash you wrote doesn't make you a sensible author.

Amen you see your life. Why body dey pepper una now. Does it feel good for that mad old prof to call your mother's mate a hippo, she-po etc? Does it! You are all subjective. I have only called him out on what i believe are symptoms of senility. A wiseman speaks but few words. Thus for a perceived wiseman to begin to speak repeatedly on a subject through a subjective lens, he requires help immediately. The fine writer has gone senile. Pity

lagerwhenindoubt: unfortunately GEJ has sacked @BEAF, all these fuktards running amoc on Nairaland are just doing far more damage than @Beaf ever did in his entire 2 years on GEJ's cabinet. this akpors of an apkomeme is just a classic dufus

it is worrisome that you can't imagine me an ordinary citizen like you without any affiliation to Gej/PEJ. Well an elder who decides to eat from the plate of child must bear the consequences of his actions.

Creative mind: I ponder; if logic and reasoning are employed in every prose written by akpomeme. If they are, then he might be a potential tool of change for himself and people around him. On plethora of instances, my mind got troubled with doubts as to whether certain people could be healed of their voracious appetite for social media relevance and rapacious struggle for a social stand. Well, you cannot give what you do not have. As a matter of fact, expecting a castle built of intelligence from Akpomeme is like searching for an honest man with a stolen lantern. One cannot but die searching till eternity. Though, i feel a little shame to stoop so low to reply the beautiful alphabets you rendered useless by your narrow-minded coinage and rape of ethics. I know you must be smiling now for getting those few likes and comments since those are the attention you have longed for with the most productive part of your life. That's always the case with people of your caliber (pigs); they enjoy dragging you to the mud to wrestle. But do not forget that when a stubborn fly perches on the elder's scrotum, there is need to treat it with a broom. I am neither myopic nor am I tribally bias and that is what placed me some level above you. However, your infantile behaviour and immaturity does not restrain you from being an agent of change. After all, even lower animals are considered capable of making the world a better place but that is when they bark at the right time, crow in the morning or roar when need be. Not shying away from the truth ought to be the wheel driving journalism and writing but this fact has suffered a great blow in the jaw in the hand of pen-brandishing nincompoops and relevance-hungry youthpopotamus. My concession about life is that people like you are ready to do anything to get attention and build an empire of folly whenever you think the truth hits hard no you. God forbid a time i will celebrate ignorance, colossal insipience or deviate from spotting on red-carpeted idiocy all in the name of dignified silence. You elicited a bout of thundering laughter from me when you asked about the amiable professor's wives. Do you know a well-trained child whose mum wasn't chased out by the father won't coin such a malicious piece against an elder? Even so, i was consoled by your lack of discipline when it comes to defending political thieves and clueless masters by the social truism that "not all head harbours intelligence". Gone were the days when writers write right and thinkers were unprejudiced. Nowadays, every sect has been immersed in a cesspool of ignorance and desperate yearn for a say in our national issue. If foolishness warrants a certificate, you should have the highest number of laurels to show for your lack of thought and common knowledge. This is one of the faults that lies in nairaland: animal's section are not provided for your calibre. Brother, "agendo, bene consulendo, prospera omnia cedunt- by doing, by consulting well, things yield prosperous". Do not smir mud at people without facts and analogy. When the professor was already doing this nation proud, God was still considering whether to let you into the world or not. Now that you are here, must you make it obvious that you are a goat in human skin?

Confusion at its best. Is this MOP or his follower. Communication these days are simpler than the foregoing confusion written out of bitterness.

Oluwalala: May God 4give you

and you too as well as MOP

Ola Johnson: No, faces of ndi karaka na ala ayin, nke bu Nigeria. Ndi ma otu ona gaga. I wata?
