I even wish the Oracle eventually picks someone else

So Soyinka adds no value Globally. Lol

Lives on money from Government lol

For your information I not one in support of The Pyrates and if you look and read me well I never even brought it up in my writing

What I like about you is the manner you replied me with no Abusive or aggressive words which seems to be the order of the day on here most times . God bless you big time for your maturity and level headed ness

One last question if you begging to mention Ini Edo and a few other on the same page as Wole Soyinka then we don't need to debate over this anymore

I rest my Quill Pen .

Thank once again for your manners , I cannot fail to recognise that

HungerBAD:
I usually never put rejoinders to anything i write here.

For you, i will make an exception. Of course i know who Wole Soyinka is, just like Festus Keyamo who is a Lawyer, and Ini Edo who is an Actress, Onyeka Onwenu a Musician, Dele Momodu a Publisher, and Tam David West a Virologist.

The last time he Visited Oxford for work, was in August 2014 for a paid Speech.

These people do not have a Job(except for Ini Edo who sells something else), but are quietly being settled by the Government, and in Soyinka's case have been getting settlements for a long time. The problem with writing anything against Soyinka, is that Thousand's of Pyrates Members(some on Nairaland too)will just swarm around you and start cursing you out.

I am actually educated, very educated. Well informed and well traveled, so actually knows what i am writing about. I owe nobody any apology,as i am entitled to my opinion, which might be contrary to yours or others.

Lucy Newlyn, a professor of English Language and Literature at the Oxford University and the sponsor of Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, for the prestigious Oxford Professor of Poetry post, has described the appointment of British poet, Simon Armitage, Mr. Soyinka as “an immense loss for Oxford University”.

ideylaff:
Did you just lump and list Pro Wole Soyinka with the names you mentioned as jobless?

I think it's either you are not a learned, informed and vast person if you start or struggle to know what Wole Soyinka is about

Please do some small research or at least google up what Prof he's done and what he's still doing as ascholar and a public figure, ok?

That is how people make people like Orubebe heroes and overlook people lie Prof as recognised people

Please read up Prof Wole Soyinka is not a jobless man even at his age he was in the running to be an Oxford Univerrsiy Head because they value him than we do back home

You owe the world an apology for your post. Thank you

Let me help you start your work . READ UP PLEASE. You will do yourself some good and also correct your misinformation.

As a Scholar and World recognised learned person and also a Global Political figure, you should not be asking what Soyinka is about, rather you should be in appreciation of what he's done as a Nigerian and an African . Kai this Nairaland is full of people oo

Quotes


The greatest threat to freedom is the absence of criticism.

The hand that dips into the bottom of the pot will eat the biggest snail.

Books and all forms of writing are terror to those who wish to suppress the truth.

Where the horse?

Abi na Dele Momodu be the Horse?

Now that you have added the Peak-sure.

And now that i have seen the peak-sure, i now have some questions.

In the heat of the North, how does he cope dressing up like a Ninja? or is there a mini-Air-conditioner in the flowing robe?

So the one LICKING his lips(suspiciously) while standing close to another man, is in line to becoming the next Ooni of Ife?

That Dele Momodu, what does he do for a living? he is about to join Wole Soyinka, Onyeka Onwenu, Festus Keyamo,Ini Edo, Tam David West and a host of others i consider jobless, no visible source of income, but somehow happen to be living well.

No big deal in riding a horse. I once rode our Christmas Goat as a young boy. RIDE HORSE, RIDE DONKEY, RIDE GOAT, RIDE na RIDE.

kayo80:
Hmm! Well, he earned the money. Nobody should come here and say he shoudl have invested the money. I would prefer to be this guy than to be an old man like Warren Buffet who only lives to see his money pile up, without spending it. What is the reason of acquiring wealth wealth if you can't enjoy your life? I would prefer to enjoy 30 years out of 70, instead of living till 80 and not enjoy life. That is just me sha.

Egbon Godddiee the Ladies man they used to call him

In his days, he was a Nuisance to people on MKO Abiolas street hosting girls who d were paid to Dance Naked Friday nights till the early mornings in his house in Ikeja

He also had Naked parties at Sheraton Hotels strictly by invitation way back then


In his house in northwest London Goddies spent money like a drunken sailor

He once walked into a shop rich Arabs visit on Bond Street Westend London and ordered an Ostriitch skin and 2 crocodile skin jackets at about £15 k a pop way back then and used to hang out with Ola Kukoyi way back then


Goddie Goddie. Hmmmm knew about him from a distance then, but in Clubs you will know Goddie is in town when you walk past his VIP TABLES reserved I stringfellows back den

What a pity

Search for Dubai or Doha pics in 1982 also and compare it with our Abuja .... You will flog all our leaders...

How can you probe her when the National Assembly refused to allocate any money (zero budget) to SEC in four year because she refused to give them bribe?

She was simply golden

I presume you wanted to cash "Nairaland Likes" for weekend's expenditures

ideylaff:
In my books and closely looking @ past records and then recently I saw my CBN Governor calling a 2 hr press conference explaining to World press on the ban of chicken and toothpick

That kind of anouncement should have bn left to an officer / Head of Department within CBN

Guess he was trying to impress Buhari

In conclusion he's at most a commercial Banker and no way near bn a CBN Governor

He's on his way to jail soon based on what we've bn privy to know on what he dud between Zenith Bank and CBN

They did nit even hide their face about it all, most key CBN people know Emefiele blatantly opened the CBN tap forvJonathan via CBN during the last election

NovusHomo:
The fool just lost his position. He was on his way out anyway. He just fast-tracked his own exit.

Princess042:
I like his doggedness......

One thing I notice about Ekiti people, they are not moved by propaganda. If Fayose messes up tomorrow, they will vote him out......

SLIDEwaxie:
I will rather be a cop in a US state. Gambia ko, hiati ni..

see his coat sef

nerodenero:
Why single out this man for persecution? If he goes down, many should follow him without fear or favour. Justice should be served to all.

Agukagu:
It is obvious that you do not know much about the man in question. Dasuki is a retired army general from a royal dynasty. His father is a multi-billionaire (the deposed sultan of Sokoto). Seeing $40k with such a man or having his father treated abroad is not a big deal. The amount in contention can not buy Aisha's wrist watch or any car in Davido's automobile garage

kraftykc:
Actually NOBODY in Nigeria is allowed to own an automatic weapon, be u an ex-soldier, ex-ninja, ex-governor or exhibit.

UlqU3:
You lack wisdom.

bettercreature:
There must be a serious reason am sure Dasuki and PDP knows about Bokoharam because i could see PDP panicking since yesterday

madamoringo:
Sensationalism! Where did he make such statement in the interview? The useless biafranistanoids would stop at nothing to tear Nigeria apart, especially driving a wedge between the SW and SS! I am sure they are smarter than the ibos so, you can lie all you want about Obj or the Yorubas - the facts speak for themselves! Nigeria kicked the as.s of biafra to oblivion, hence you can't crying for more than 50 years! LWKMD!
