The Gbaju e crooner has now been handsomely rewarded for his silence and for not speaking up against the worst regime in the history of this country.

This is someone who spoke against one of the best regimes in the history of this country, the Goodluck Jonathan government. He even went as far as describing the then president, Goodluck Jonathan, to be worst than Nebuchadnezzar.
Kid kid kid( OBIDENTs)

The last time he visited Tinubu in Aso rock,he public said on live TV.

I told Tinubu not to run for president.
Re: President Tinubu Renames National Theatre As Wole Soyinka Centre For Arts by dododawa1: 4:05pm On Jul 12, 2024

Do u understand me at all?

I'm not talking about Achebe, I care less about him

My point is that the world thinks differently about Soyinka. They see him as a global Icon

A Moroccan Academy was the first to celebrate his birthday this week. They dont care what u think and thats a fact

LordBillionz:
The same Chinua that rejected a national honour.

Say that name Chinua Achebe with respect! You disrespectful son of failure.

Not him that instead of being a positive force that could have propelled the country forward, worked against a positive leader, Jonathan, to hand it over to those who have dragged the nation to ruins.

All he criticised under Jonathan got worse under the people he endorsed and you think him a man to be respected?

Soyinka a dishonourable man and a hypocrite.

Rest the soul of the great and honourable father of African literature, Chinua Achebe.
There is nothing honorable about Achebe.

He was an ethnic jingoistic, reason why his name does not carry weight.

His last book gave him up as a tribal bigot.

He's a legendary playwright and probably the greatest out of Africa. The naming is well deserved

Achebe and Soyinka weren't enemies so stop pitching the heroes. Achebe was a prose wroter while Soyinka is a Playwright. Their lanes are similar but yet different and they reached their respective peak.

Probably for supporting him publicly.

Soyinka fell from a national hero who fought for right ideals to someone who curries favour in order to eat.


....and I am from the same town as Soyinka...so no those IPOB or Obidient bull shit
