You're right. Obi has no obligation to congratulate Soyinka. Yet perception matters ... especially for a man wanting to be President of the biggest black nation on Earth.

This behaviour marks Obi as petty, vindictive, emotionally unintelligent and a 'localised thinker' incapable of seeing the big picture.
So wishing somebody a happy birthday is now a criteria of a good leader. NONSENSE

Lol. Reno Omokri has done and said much worse to Tinubu in the past. Yet Tinubu personally celebrated Omokri on his 50th birthday and wished him well.

BAT is always teaching Obi leadership while brutally exposing the fact that the Agulu Gbajue is not mature and emotionally intelligent enough to lead all Nigerians to include those who hate or criticise him passionately.
You are very correct... Peter Obi is not emotionally intelligent enough to lead Nigeria

when it is Tinubu's turn there is always food in Prof mouth and you know its bad ethics to talk while eating
Prof. Wole Soyinka is always observing table manner when it is time to talk about Tinubu's government. Hypocritical human being and some people doesn't see the hypocrisy in him.

Even Soyinka is not forcing Obi to respect him. Soyinka was only being HONEST with him. Obirodents has successfully chased away any Yoruba that will think of voting for him with their anti-yoruba campaigns and insults on social media.

Its not everybody that will RESPECT you in life, let Obi keep his respect.
Please are you the spokesman for Yoruba race that you have to say they have successfully chase away Yoruba that will think of voting Peter Obi? I am a Yoruba and if I have my way I will vote him and all members of my family will do same. You guys should stop generalizing words. I bet you there are millions and one Yorubas that will vote Peter Obi, if the chance comes. Forget all this noise you people are spreading about. What has Tinubu presidency brought to you as a person? As it put food on your table or increase your account in dollars or naira? Tribal remarks have not helped any section of this country till date, instead it has subjected each region to ruin.
No nation develop on tribal colouration or religion bias.

then has soyinka wished Obi happy birthday before since u are use atiku and tinubu as example. at least Obi wished him last year. let soyinka do the same
To be honest, I don't care if they wish each other a happy birthday or not.

I made that comment in response to a claim that Soyinka's remarks caused Obi to decline to wish him a happy birthday.

I still believe that a good leader will look beyond pettiness.

If not we live in a country where there are no laws what would give a cultist the mind to attack other persons. A cultist that is to be chained and put behind bars is having the audacity to attack other people’s personality.

You're the one who is uneducated plus unrefined. A typical IPOB louts. Wole Soyinka' highly exalted universal status is a credit to Nigeria and Africa.

Wise men will pay homage to that status publicly when classy to do, like on the birthday of WS, even if they have private issues with him.

Can't teach you folks to be refined so carry on with your bellicose, bitter, hateful and pugnacious approach to life that has made you tenth class in Nigeria today.

Better he remains silent as far as the man's matter is concerned, otherwise if he comments in later years on anything concerning him then he is a joker. But too much gap btw 62 years and 90 years shows that obi is his son.

A true man forgives just like Tinubu celebrated Reno Omokri even with all insuits the latter three at the Tinubu dynasty and his person. The man with a large heart will use wisdom to handle insults..

You mean the Omokri he bought over that has suddenly started singing his praises? Tinubu and co can only full you minions and agbadorians, Nigerians with brains who can think for themselves knows exactly what went down. So shut up and run along to your paymasters to collect your crumbs. The economy is messed, insecurity here and there yet Peter Obi who supposedly came 3rd is your biggest nightmare? Oh well, it seems I'm doing something right by sticking to follow P.O unlike you who's motivated by nothing by selfish benefits. We will all be here to see how it goes, make una continue to teach P.O lessons. Tinubu must continue in office till 2031. All of you must have sense by force

BUT IT IT SHOCKED ME THAT HE HAS NEVER FOR ONCE CRITICIZED TINUBU BAD GOVERNMENT BECAUSE I GUESS HE IS FEEDING FAT FROM TINUBU POCKET WHILE NIGERIANS ARE STARVING THATS THE REASON FOR THE SILENCE, THEY ARE IN THIS TOGETHER

I don't know though..


But I want to comment on that news article.
Peter-Obi doesn't have a team yet.
His campaign team were set up by the Labour Party,, and that definitely was not the team he would have used to govern.

So, which team was Soyinka referring to.??

That's a typical see-finish.
That's gaslighting.!!

This time in 2022 till late last year Reno Omokri was at the neck of Tinubu, calling him out for different issues. Please kindly and joyfully show the world the birthday wishes that Tinubu sent to Reno Omokri in year 2022 and 2023 when he Reno Omokri was abusing Tinubu.
Sometimes some of you will just suspend your IQ in support of nonsense. Tinubu eulogised Reno Omokri this year because he is now a willing tool use to malign Peter Obi at every points.
I shall be waiting for you to show me and the rest of the world where Tinubu wished Reno Omokri happy birthday in the year 2022 and 2023.
Good luck to you.

It is unfortunate that Prof Soyeka, despite his affluence on Nigeria could still take side politically in addressing an individual who has contributed a lot to this country. Undermining what he did to Past Jonathan govt, and could also keep calm in this Tinubu regime The Aged are really the problem of the youths.

Leadership that will take rice from 28k to 90k in less than a year ,I reject.

See mentality..

So because somebody wished u a superficial birthday wish he is excused and even elevated as a great political leader..even though people are dying daily due to his wicked policies?

Ndo
So, rice was 28k in May last year. Una no dey shame with your lies.
Re: Could This Be The Reason Obi Didn't Wish Soyinka Happy Birthday (photo) by Hayfield26: 9:20am On Jul 16, 2024
He never called him incompetent, he said his team. That's simple English!

So the onus is on Obi to put together a good and competent team.
