Charly Boy Said Wole Soyinka Can Never Be The Man Achebe Was by LegendHero(op): 8:54am On Apr 08, 2023
The kin respect I had for dis man, was almost the kind of respect I had for my stainless father, The Socrates of the Supreme Court.
It has finally dawned on me that Soyinka can never be the man Chinua Achebe was.

Look at a man many Nigerians put on such high pedestal reducing himself to a boyiboyi for criminal politicians. What a big shame

Re: Charly Boy Said Wole Soyinka Can Never Be The Man Achebe Was by LegendHero(op):
Achebe died an envious unfulfilled man and legend has it that envy for Wole Soyinka contributed to his death.

Why I love God is that he always make Yoruba triumph, we have bested the Ibos in all strata of achievement if we go head to head.

Below is Prof. Wole Soyinka telling the world how embarrassed he was on the kind of envy and hatred Achebe showed when he won the Nobel Laureate.

Soyinka is more of just a writer, he is an icon. A million Achebe can not measure up to him.

Everything must have ethnic colouration.

Of course. I lost respect for the old fool the moment I discerned that he was just another rodent in Tinubu's cookie room. The idiot whose voice of condemnation was very loud against the Jonathan administration somehow retreated into his shell and became deaf and dumb throughout Buhari's disastrous 8 years of sorrow.

Now after a sham election has supposedly produced a bloody thief and drug baron as president, the useless Soyinka has found his voice again, not in condemnation of the election or of the disreputable criminal that was dubiously pronounced winner, but against the people yearning for a change. Obedients are repugnant fascists and he is ready to do a debate with Datti, but he conveniently has nothing to say about INEC, Tinubu, and the APC. This is the final straw.

Just because he criticized obi and his crying baby...

Were said the respect he had for him is akin to the one he had for his father.. How respectable is a father that birthed and raised a fool like him.


Achebe was great. In fact, very great. But he couldn't achieve half of what Soyinka achieves in their line of business. Only an idiot would compare both of them. You find a match for WS when you see a prolific, successful and well know author who excels in writing drama, prose, Poetry, essays and theories. Achebe wrote only prose, the moment he dabbled into poetry, he flopped.

Legitisreal:
Ipob would deceive you that they were looking for one Nigeria progess

Their frustration on not getting obi is now exposing their bigotry

Chimanda supported Obi cos he is Igbo
Ojiakor supported because they would get seaport
Charleyboy supported to have one over yorubas which failed as usual

These are those that have confessed openly, the ones that haven't are now attacking yorubas as a people as a tip of their intentions
To ipob terrorists, pandora Obituary is a highly revered god and no mortal should question him. The only thing expected of anyone is to sing his praises.

Below is Prof. Wole Soyinka openly criticizing the Buhari government and even joined in the call for his impeachment but you believe your own lies that he was inactive.

Of course.

Wole Soyinka is not anybody's mate in Nigeria. Even Charlie Boy's late father will never talk when Wole Soyinka is talking

Wole Soyinka brought cultism to Nigeria he has played a big role in the degradation of Nigerian morals, however criticizing him based on politics and not on his own works is extraordinarily foolish.

You refer to somebody old enough to be your grandfather an old fool. That shows the kind of background you have and typical of your tribe. Ọmọ iran kiran.
Typical hypocrisy and deception that your people are known for. When important issues are at stake, you prefer to deflect attention from the real issue and rather focus on age. In a time of war, in a matter of life and death such as the situation Nigeria is in now, your concern is manners and niceties rather than confront the elephant in the room. You people can continue fooling yourselves.

The shame begins with you, shameless father of a gay daughter. When Soyinka was being imprisoned for Biafra, where was your father?. The same Soyinka ibo leaders were begging to use his influence to lobby Nobel Committee on behalf of Achebe so that he could lay his hands on the only award he desperately craved for before he died.

True.

Unfortunately, social media is a leveller.

I have never had any regard for the old fool, Charly Man who still refers to himself as a boy at his age..

Now come to the election, the case is in court and you want WS to see the election the way you see it..? Why?
So anyone who does not condemn the election is an enemy of the state to you people...?
Thank God, ObidienDs lost and will keep losing..
