The More reason why He should stop FOOLING himself. huh

The likes of Obasanjo, IBB, Aldulsalam, EK Clark, etc will NOT display such pettiness/Childishness.

Somebody came to meet you in Humility, You end up Trashing him Publicly after he left.

Soyinka has become a DISGRACE. Such a Pity. sad
Oga show us ur resume.

Who asked obi to go visit the man in the first place?

He's just that the masses wants change from the old ways, and didn't support Tinubu, no other presidential candidates has got the kind of support PO got from the masses since inception of democracy.

Professor Wole Soyinka grammar or vocabulary is making my head to grow dada !

I don dey grow DADA because im big grammar or vocab wan scatter my head.

Sometimes I thought I understood Wole Soyinka but the more I read about his speech the more I got confused.


Even those of us who read Wole Soyinka's novel under literature course during our secondary schooling days are shaken by his super use of powerful grammer.
Yet they want to compare chimmamanda to him.

With his it's my turn declaration, Tinubu first injected gross misconduct and bad blood into the political process. Tinubu knows that if it's turn by turn, it's not the turn of his SW region to present a president for Nigeria after PMB. It's the turn of the Igbo.
Tinubu insulted the intelligence of more than 100 million Nigerians through his it's my turn declaration. The insulted reacted. That's what this fox Wole Soyinka calls bad conduct from Obi's followers, in his veiled efforts to malign Peter Obi's presidential ambition for his Tinubu choice.
Tinubu also started with labourers shall Labour in vain. What does Wole Soyinka call that? Good conduct?

Someone that is relevant that you have always insulted. Have you apologized for all the insults you APC gangs hurl at him? Can your Tinubu be bold enough to ask apology like he did? Dey play
apologize to who OBIDIENT family or Peter Obi himself, you both deserve the whole insult thrown at you, because u no get sense and behave like ur boss the lying machine

He apologized? Obi is such a humble and a good man. This is why APC gangs are exploiting him. Who will apologize for all Tinubu misyarn concerning Obi? He even said he doesn't want anyone to mention Obi in his presence.

As for we OBIDIENTS, no iota of apology will be given. May any apology from my mouth meet a fatal accident before it gets to any ear grin grin grin cheesy

Apology ke. Soyinka you are really messing up. I understand old age is impacting you already. We respected you but you messed up big time. How can an erudite professor go to discuss Datti Ahmed statement without saying anything about Tinubu Drug case? Is he happy to have a drug lord as president? Noooo nah.

Soyinka learn to behave well if you must earn my respect.
What a presumptuous! grin. I doubt you understand a single word from what the Prof said, did you? What has he said wrong? He said they never discussed any reconciliation but rather about idiots like you, who just criticize blindly. Was he wrong? It's obvious. Look at the thrash you just wrote. So sad.

THE ONLY TIME I CAN THINK OF RESPECTING THIS MAN AGAIN IS WHEN HE PUBLICLY TEARS HIS NIGERIAN PASSPORT AS HE SAID.
HE MISLED SO MANY NIGERIANS WHEN HE SAID IF BUHARI WINS HE WOULD TEAR HIS PASSPORT AND SO MANY NIGERIANS DID TEAR THEIR PASSPORT BUT HE KEPT HIS.
FOR ME I TORE MY NIGERIAN PASSPORT I SNAPPED AT PLAZA,8 COPIES.
You are liable to your own foolishness nobody owes you an apology

Na people like you made him lose that election. Your special advisers from home didnt give you special advise and that's why you are mannerless, rude and full of pride that goes before a fall. Your mumulity caused him the victory. Now it is gone. Hopefully you will give your children what your parents didnt give you. The special advise! Old age that you may not get to, you may not even be here for our inauguration. You really need your moniker. Urgently because if you continue like this, your end will come early. So OBI can go and apologies? When his dogs were running their mouth like dysentery online he didnt say a thing. You see, he supports all the bullying now he is apologising up and down...too late

All these long grammar is quite unnecessary.
See how obi simply use his own word.
"I met with soyinka"very simple.
Which one is "He Apologized for misconduct of his followers"
That's an insult to obi
Obi respected you by visiting
But you turn around to humilate him.

An example of tribalistic behavior imagine Adeboye saying God will help Tinubu to fix Nigeria these people just want to see their own tribal person in power that’s why they all settle for a ruling party in power since 8yrs without doing nothing.

Obi is a nice man sha me if I apologize make I bend, a professor of such high dignity can’t even hide his bigotry he even stoop so low in asking for Ahmed Datti to come debate with him as if he is running for an office…. The shege never start sha many of them will be served of their own cocktails [color=#550000][/color]

Peter Obi is a good man to bother to make the trip to you.
He didn't have to.
Let's leave it there, and move on.
Your complex English grammar here is most unnecessary.
Move on already. cool
Soyinka should learn how to address the public with simple and clear English. Otherwise he may be misunderstood by his admirers. He has bore his mind in the spirit of pressing forward and forget the past. One thing with obi is that he should know that his mandate has never be stolen, God is only reserving it for him in the appointed time.

OBIDIENTS ARE MOSTLY OF A YOUTHFUL LOT.
AN OCTOGENARIAN SOYINKA SAYS HE CAN'T RECONCILE WITH THE OBIDIENTS, SO BE IT. WHO CARES?
SOYINKA PROPAGATED MUHAMMADU BUHARI FOR PRESIDENT. SOYINKA IS PROPAGATING TINUBU TO SUCCEED PRESIDENT BUHARI.
THE IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE OBIDIENTS AND WOLE SOYINKA ARE GLARING. SOYINKA KNOWS THAT. THAT IS WHY HE CHOSE NO RECONCILIATION WITH OBIDIENTS.

Chimmmanda, grin. Only a fool will compare her to the great Prof.

Chimamanda? Someone who bought all the honorary degree she was awarded. Do you think if she was such a great writer as many of her blind followers assume, won't she be a teaching in one of the best university in the world as a part-time or a vising lecturer?

Just a normal average Nigerian writter who chooses to use her money to buy fame by stocking honorary degrees and paying to meet top leaders. I can help you to get an invitation to meet Obama if you have the money. There is nothing special there once you are not a threat to them.

Who is Chimamanda in the sight of Baba Wole? Forget them please

Fren232:
Soyinka has a good relationship with Obi, likely voted for him. He like a lot of people hate the obedient movement.
Gradually shifting the goal post again. From no structure to IPOD, blablabla, now it's people hating the movement. Na wao! But the question is: who are the people? When the Obidients constitute the informed majority in the society. Is it the poor farmers (both men and women) in Hadeja, or the ones in Kaura Namoda that bandits and terrorist have used for shooting practice, whom really do not care or knew of one movement existence. They are only given salt and sugar, told to to surrender their pvc and go home. My friend look for something else to say and stop hating on yourself. We know you tremble at the mention of Obidients.

His old is is now full blown and baba don already enter dementia. When he was sound and active he couldn't have uttered such rubbish.
Baba need some dough for his treatment and wailing and feigning ignorance of the great Obidient family is one of the conditions.
He be like..Obi see what your visit have caused naw.. them don call me say them say..
You just acknowledged that he is old, at the same time saying an old man utter "rubbish"
Let's be selective with our choice of words more especially when we are referring to our seniors. You can pass same message without insulting him.

Please pardon my ignorance if you consider this an interloper

This is the time for a viable third force to emerge. I advise unstained and capable hands to try out their popularity in LP. We don't need obidients as 2027 draws near. We need a popular candidate that can attempt to develop the country. People like Osinbajo, Soludo, Marwa, Iweala, Datti Amhed, Ezekwesili, Aisha Yesufu, and more. And as that happens, all hands should be on deck to make LP a performing party in the few constituencies they have been elected to lead. That's how the 2023 momentum can translate to something tangible in 2027 and not by some unbalanced tribal bigots invading the party to insult whoever doesn't agree with their foul ways.
Tinubu was able to easily rig himself through because in additiin to INEC highest bidder desposition, the opposition was having huge ethno religious crack and thus severely weakened.

The way PO is behaving if they even give him the Seat of the Presidency , before he could sit down to look around they would have collected the seat under him. Let him go and ask Oga Jona how far. Nice Men finish last in Politics but in Nigerian Politics they are buried under a heap of rubbish and forgotten
Re: Soyinka: I didn't Meet Peter Obi For Reconciliation, Rather He Apologised by Humble432: 8:45am On May 09, 2023
Obi humbled himself to visit you and also apologized to you even when he shouldn't, then you start speaking big grammar to proof he came to beg. To what end? To impress who, Tinibu or his fellow Yoruba?

The hatred is real swears

Obi is just a saint, Nigerians don't deserve him.

Soyinka was right after all. All you guys know is to insult and attack. Is that how to play politics? You guys have finished Peter Obi and Gbadebo Rhodes vivour politically.....
Now Peter Obi is running around to make amends.

plaindealer:
This is the most damaging, sad and embarrassing part of the Professor's takedown, Peter Obi's political party and identity is the term obidient, obi is the head and the leader of the obidient mob, so for the Professor to categorically assert that he's unable to relate to something as obedient and the obedient family, the so-called fascist mob says more than a lot about Obi himself and the kind of people he leads.

Sometimes I really do feel sorry for this obi man, as a politician and a presidential candidate in Nigeria, you need a strong support base, but he's so unlucky that his support base is toxic people, intolerant bigots, and utter fascists that he can nor run away from or criticize or even beg to stop attacking, insulting and bullying opponents, the so-called obidient mob are his only base and if I might add, many of them are ipob sympathizers, another reason why Obi till today won't say anything against ipobs and this is another reason why the professor can not relate to the so-called obidient and obi himself, their leader.

The professor is not dumb or clueless to the fact that Obi sat quietly and did not say a word or even caution his fascist mob sto stop attacking, abusing and insulting the professor, he sat back and enjoyed every minute of it, now the coward and circus clown visited the professor as if nothing happened.

Obi is a very dishonest, untrustworthy and manipulating scum and I'm glad the professor called him out and his fascist obidients.
what can you say about your support base of uncultured swines who insults pa ayo adebanjo a noble man any given time, because he doesn't support druggie,the very same set of uncultured swines who prior to the primary insulted and abused a yemi osinbanjo, a very brilliant mind just because he dared to contest the presidential elections against the wish of druggie,or the very same set of swine who attacked opposition supporters at a rally in Lagos, or the herd of fools who continually constitute nuisance all over the internet the most toxic set of supporters are tinubu folks, guess you all inherited the trait from druggie.

Obi appearing humble but he can't caution his followers publicly, he went there individually for apology is that not hypocrite?

Obi is a pretense and a serial liar, Peethief Obi can be president on social medias not FRN.
Re: Soyinka: I didn't Meet Peter Obi For Reconciliation, Rather He Apologised by Gbogbowa: 8:51am On May 09, 2023
GeneralPula:
”There are simply no issues to reconcile between those two entities and myself. However, I do not know, and I am unable to relate to something known as the “Obidient” or “Obidient Family”. Thus, albeit in a different vein, any notion of Reconciliation, or even relations – positive, negative or indifferent - with such a spectral emanation is simply grasping at empty air.

“During that meeting, attended by two other individuals only, the word “Reconciliation” was never bruited, neither in itself nor in any other form. It simply did not arise. By contrast, there were expressions of “burden of leadership” “responsibility”, “apology”, “pleading”, “formal dissociation from the untenable”,,,.all the way to the “tragic ascendancy of ethnic cleavage”, especially under such ironic, untenable circumstances. Discussions were frank, and creative. The notion of Reconciliation was clearly N/A – None Applicable. It was never raised.

Such a straight clarification

They’ve been trying to twist the story but we know ipob hardly tells truth so it’s all fallacy! We sabi their ways!
imagine calling Obidient something we dont need him also, why will i respect a man that does not believe in God'sexistence away with him his generation failed us can he called his children fascists
