A moral call to amoral conscripts, By Wole Soyinka

The contents of that script are attributed, as before, to the scholastic industry of a Bristol schoolteacher.


....I wish to state in advance that I voluntarily waive all protection under the statute of limitations, and insist that the laws that govern fraudulent academic claims be invoked and applied to these allegations to the uttermost limit. I also declare, in advance that, if found culpable, I shall strip myself of any titles and honours I may have garnered in my entire career, from the most obscure to the most coveted


A document of unmatchable scurrility, last encountered during General Sani Abacha’s global campaign of calumny against opponents of his despotic, infernally venal and homicidal reign, is back in circulation. Duly modified to suit a debased internet culture, it is making its grimy rounds ironically under the auspices of a democratic political party, supposedly dedicated to an ethos of freedom of opinion and expression.

While awaiting a decision from my lawyers whether or not to dignify the current sponsors of this mouldy tract with legal action, I wish to state in advance that I voluntarily waive all protection under the statute of limitations, and insist that the laws that govern fraudulent academic claims be invoked and applied to these allegations to the uttermost limit. I also declare, in advance that, if found culpable, I shall strip myself of any titles and honours I may have garnered in my entire career, from the most obscure to the most coveted.

In return, I expect the purveyors of this sordid material to submit all evidence, however minuscule, to the nation’s investigative agencies – Directorates of Prosecutions, EFCC, ICPC, plus affected institutions and others – within the next thirty days. Failing this elementary service in public interest within the stated time, and/or If such allegations are yet again proven baseless, thus indicating that their sponsors can boast of neither honours to their careers nor honour to their births and origins, then, as a token of moral recompense, they should undertake to jump off the bridge of the symbolic River Niger, provided with life jackets, to ensure a life of remorse after this ritual purgation, but chained to one another in a commendable unity of purpose.

This is being copied to the Academic Staff Union of Nigeria, Pan-African Writers Association, Accra, Nigeran Association of Authors, the Nobel Foundation, Stockholm, the University of Leeds, the alleged Bristol Primary Source and his school, and the infested media.

Baba call on of them obedient for a debate. Maybe your blood go calm down. Fake professor

ALPHAGUY:


Utyour kids would read his work in their secondary school syllabus.

Well done Wole

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Gani Fawehinmi will also be rated above the white bearded corn professor.

We're talking about BAT attending a non existent Government College, Lagos in 1970.. Mr prof what do u have to say about the oluwole certificate?

Just like d subsidy saga, u will go ghost mode. Same u was leading APC protest against GEJ in Ojota, Lagos to protest against subsidy removal. And think u shld tell those rice bandits to go jump inside Lagos lagoon.

DrGoodman:


Wole has lost all his respect. Money and greed can really destroy a man.

Ofunaofu:
Soyinka should stop all these diversionary tactics, Nigerians are focused on Tinubu certificate forgery

But he did called some people "Gbaju e"

Why is he angry now that he is being called back

Againstallodds:
which work? Soyinka has never written any book that I know of. If I didn't read Soyinka how can my own kid read a non existent book. Fake professor

Hehehe

Why is baba bothered about the headless mobs who had no proper parenting?

Even their own parents they wake up with side-kicks and their own people they kill to liberate them.

Who they cannot attack does not exist.

The world know them already because e no get where dem never constitute nuisance.

Corrinthians:
This is beyond poor parenting. Something alot more sinister is wrong, and I suspect it is related to the genes.

Corrinthians:


Those responsible for this know themselves without being mentioned. But like I said before, sooner than later, they'd get all they've been asking for.

Never imagined a time will come when an entire tribe, who boast of being "republican" by nature, and uphold the tenets of democracy and human freedoms, would, in unison, become so morally debased that they more or less represent everything humanity abhors.

These people portray every character alien to humankind, calling to question the exact composition of their DNA. Maybe, just maybe, another species of neanderthals have been hiding in plain sight, cloaked in the image of normal humans. Scientists need to investigate this and do it fast so they can be placed where they should be in the chronicles of human evolution.

Someone should tell Soyinka to stop supporting a certificate forger and a druglord, just because he is a fellow Yoruba.

Birds of the same feathers, flock together, so Soyinka should not be surprised if people suspect that he himself, may have indulged in forgery, especially as he doesn't seem to see anything wrong with the current certificate forger in Aso Rock.
