I would like to suggest that the mods keep a close watch on this thread for bigotry, ethnic baiting and insults.

From the "Soyinka and sister" thread of 4th Feb 2013.

naptu2: "Civil servants 'voluntarily' donated a percentage of their salaries to the war effort, to a special fund called 'Troops Comfort Fund'.


Regarding that 'patriotic exercise', there was one exception, one of a virtual handful, who defied that hysterical phase of patriotism - this was my elder sister Tinu, then deputy principal of the Nursing School of the University Teaching Hospital, Lagos. She had nothing against keeping Nigeria one, offered no opinion regarding how one went about it, but as long as her brother was in prison detention without trial, nobody had better touch her take-home pay! She refused to sign the 'voluntary donation' form and declared her lack of interest in comforting any troops. Throughout the entire period of national jingoism, indeed, throughout the war with Biafra, no one dared touch Tinu's salary.

"You Must Set Forth At Dawn" by Wole Soyinka (published by BookCraft, Ibadan. 2006) p166

I also wonder why we've suddenly seen an increase in "Soyinka picture" threads on nairaland. However, the increase started before Achebe's death. I first noticed it around December or January.

Now, all I have to do is go look for my post in the other "Soyinka and sister" thread and quote it.

Ok, I have a request. Does anybody remember an underwater themed children's programme that featured puppets (I think they lived in Sharkville, but I'm not sure). The characters were:

1) An angel fish (who had the personality of a stereotypical dumb blond).

2) A shark (juvenile that was always getting into trouble or creating trouble).

3) A dolphin (who was a sensible fellow)

4) There was a wise elderly character, I think he was a clam, but I can't quite remember.

5) Lastly, there was a police fish.

I can't remember the name of the programme!

seunajia: That's the BS. Just like you guys, I can't seem to remember the name of the cartoon too. We had a similar discussion at work sometime ago and decided to call them "booboboobo", cause that's the only intelligible sound they made.

All I remember is that they're dumb, of german origin and funny gringringringrin

Politics › Re: Kano Bombing May Have Caused Achebe's Death – Soyinka, Clark by naptu2: 2:08pm On Mar 25, 2013
Artists have many roles; to educate, to entertain, to inform, etc. Probably the most difficult and controversial role of an artist (musician, writer, singer, rapper, dramatist, etc) is to be the mirror of society. To draw attention to things that are happening in society.

Tupac drew attention to the problems of the blackman in the ghettos of the US in the early 1990s/late 80s. Problems such as drugs, black on black violence, imprisonment, rape, etc. Some people said that he was promoting violence and misogyny and that he was a racist, but he was merely reflecting what's happening in society (and calling on the people/government to do something about it).

Eminem did "Stan" and people said that he was promoting violence, but he was merely reflecting the problems celebrities have with fans who hero worship them.


Chief Segun Olusola called NTA staff for to a meeting (in the 1970s). He talked about the growing insecurity in Lagos (armed robberies, etc) and asked them what they think they should do about it. A member of staff suggested that some of the soldiers at the gate should be detailed to follow the staff bus when it's taking staff home at night. Segun Olusola got angry. Can't you use your art to combat the insecurity?

If there are bombings going on in Nigeria (there's been bomb blast for years now) and innocent people are dying and there seems to be no end in sight, then J.P Clark and Soyinka will use any platform they can to draw attention to it, in order to stop people from dying. That's the weapon of the artist.
