Those APC chieftains are still considered 'opposition'

Odogwuzack:
This thread is an insult to Wole Soyinka pls take it down. So many awards are even missing. Let's be careful not to compare Soyinka with these clowns around. He's the best to ever come out of Africa. The God of modern literature!


We can only mention Soyinka's name among the great men like Albert Einstein, Mary Currie, Isaac Newton etc....

Correct!

In fact, after Williams Shakespeare (WS), nobody has played prominently in the world of literature like Wole Soyinka (WS).

He was also one time chair of committee of Nobel Laureates.

I remembered while I was a student at Ife and he was to be awarded Emeritus Professor, I was there when they were making photocopies of his CV. It was like a gigantic textbook. And to shock you, the CV was (updated) before he got the Nobel prize award.

There are so many I know that he referenced/sponsored through scholarship to Harvard university.

What about professors at Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, etc that earned their professorship only working on his works. Those great profs are called Wole Soyinka's critics.

See legal competency by Lateef Fagbemi!

Lesson learnt!

Wike never disappoints.

when Nigeria stop consuming and start producting, [b]that is why we needed peter obi but [/b]unfortunately, the election ended up with tribalism, religiosity and hatred. let just see what tinubu will give to us. i pray he will do well if not, another 8yrs of hardship loading.

How

You needed somebody that holds the title of biggest importer of rubbish into Nigeria.

The largest importer is the largest contributor to unemployment because each container brought into Nigeria also come with shipload of unemployment.

Nothing unusual.

Tinubu is a true democrat

Tinubu is a true democrat.

The right thinking people

No, it's 100 billion people. Like daddy,.like children with fake stats.

Vawulence... by the FG

Yes

El Rufai's son and the SINator Sheu Sani appear to be in the same classs(lessness)

Armaggedon:
I saw Ibadan and i stopped reading

You are not happy because its not your state/region

Pele. Ibadan is not your mate o.

Learn to be happy with other people's success

Atiku that wanted to continue Northern rule for another 8 years.

CUMIN:
It's obvious you from a well to do average family. You actually didn't need this Japa but fell for the bandwagon.

You should come back and manage family wealth very well.

There's no purpose slaving away your life for endless bill.

Na aje butter them.

I don't know why one of the world's greatest Nobel Lauret will offer to debate some crying crying baby voices.

Prof is very humble sha.

See his Nobel prize citation:

Winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature
Soyinka is the first Black person to win the Nobel Prize for Literature (1986). The motivation for the Prize was, “… who in a wide cultural perspective and with poetic overtones fashions the drama of existence.”

No other person has been so described apart from Williams Shakespare.

And one old grand pa abi boy is comparing him to a storyteller.

Na so them dey find 'another person"?

Yes. Prof is not an ingrate. He is a proper OmoLuabi.

You should also remember to add that he also advised Tinubu ahead of 2023 elections to step down for a much younger candidate to which Tinubu did not oblige.

Very good statement

psucc:
Na naija used now. If na toks, the dude for start from N10m to price

LOL

Not fair

N3TRAL:
Wole Soyinka was arrested, tried, discharged and acquitted.

It means he never did any of what you said he did.

Stop the blackmail!

I don't know why he keeps supporting the ingrates who feel the renowned Nobel Laureate owe them apology for not 'nominating' their 'There Was A Country' hero for Nobel award.

I don't think it's worth it fighting with (attack) dogs.

Nkita will always be nkita!

Thank you El Rufai
