Literature › Re: Wole Soyinka's Ake by Owlwiwi(m): 7:28am On Mar 04, 2024

I did not exactly have problem with Soyinka’s Ake. It is one interesting memoir I would love to read again. It was his The Interpreters that I actually had a problem with at first attempt. But I got over that too about two years later on my second attempt.

Regardless, Ake is full of captivating anecdotes and memories from Soyinka’s childhood. One such anecdote is when the child refuses to prostrate to a too demanding chief with the excuse that he doesn't prostrate to his father (Essay) and mother (Wild Christian), talk more of an ordinary human being like the chief.

While Soyinka is later corrected by his parents, this incidence clearly shows that Soyinka’s rebellion had been there right from childhood.

For me, Ake is his most straightforward prosaic literary text.

Olurondo:
If Rivers People are bold and daring as they claim to be,this is the time for them to resist this immoral,absurd, illegal and criminal peace pact.Fubara has been a wimp and weakling. The bastard called Wike knows this and he is exploiting him.Rivers State is not owned by Wike or his forefathers. We all know that Wike's father is a pauper and wretched man to say they least.The Ijaws and the people of Rivers State should not fold their hands and let this thief and criminal called Wike to continue to steal the state's resources in the name of godfatherism.Let them resist this act with everything.Tinubu and Wike are calling for chaos and crisis.Pipelines will be vandalized,there will be unrest,even Tinubu sef go fear!!The drunkard called Wike must not get away with this!!Never!!Wike must not survive this.He must die a miserable death!!

Isn't death too gross to wish any fellow human being?

Well, I am the right person for the job, or so I believe. I have a past record of writing political motivated articles. I have written on both neutral and opinionated grounds. My articles speak a lot about me. A student of language, you don't need to worry about errors in mechanics, content and grammaticality.

Politics › Re: Osinbajo Mobbed In Ilorin, Kwara. Security Overwhelmed (Photos, Videos) by Owlwiwi(m): 6:16am On Dec 08, 2018

That's where we keep getting it wrong. The fact that people swarm round him does not necessarily means APC has an overwhelming presence in Kwara state or that PDP is dead in the state. Everyone of them are there to see the VP. It's normal. Not because of the goodness of his government or what a view. Even if Abacus rises from state of stillness, these same people or some others will envelope his presence. Simple logic!
