Reason why he’s not criticizing the government as he did with the previous government. He’s now enjoying lotting money.

Someone told me that old Yoruba men don’t have dignity, now I believe. Thank God for Tinubu, who would have thought that a whole Wole Soyinka is a tribalist.
He is but still below ya bloda who left frustrated

The old fool should honour his promise or remain a treacherous vermin forever.

once you quote me, your mama or papa fit collect or even prophet Mohammed, so mods be guided.
Your moniker shows you are from the a¢¢ur$ed, unproductive enclaves where insults, blame game, and violence is the game all day long. That your Agulu fraud will never smell that seat cheesy

Love or hate him, he's one of the fee icons we have, and I don't see the reason for the unnecessary hatred towards him from some people , the man has made his mark which only a few can ever achieve
It's not hate it's accountability. He rubbished Jonathan's administration even called him Nebuchadnezzar. He was vocal and supported the occupy Nigeria protest too. If he has any dignity why has he remained silent since under Buhari and Tinubus government despite both being ten times worse than Jonathans?

If he can't speak up then he's a coward and a rubbish icon. Except he has corns in his pocket that's why he can't speak up because he also enjoys from the corruption under APC.

I'm a yoruba boy should you want to go tribal thinking I'm igbo. I'm also obidient and a Christian.

grin let them continue hating…they were born to hate and besides, has their hate for the man stopped the show of love and admiration he has received worldwide? They can continue to be frustrated and live in misery, who cares😂😂

Wole Sonyinka has been an activist criticizing everyone who got the opportunity to lead until it got to the turn of his friends from his part of the country he became deaf and dumb.

This is typical of most people who call themselves activists in Nigeria, with exception of Femi Falana.

Either way, happy birthday to the celebrity writer.
Falana is NOT an exception! He is in bed this this criminally rotten thing they call bat.

You would think it was like an ELON MUSK type person they were celebrating, you know, someone that solved problems in society or invented something, but noooooooooooooooo. Notice how those kinds of people are hardly celebrated in Nigeria.

First, they celebrated a man, that GRADUATED IN 1970 FROM A SCHOOL FOUNDED IN 1974. Notice that till now, not Tinubu, not Reno, no one can refute this claim. With the certificate they can argue this or that or where it was printed, but not with the fraudulent Lagos Government College. Why you ask? It's because, under oath, Tinubu's file was pulled showing that he applied to the University with a supposed diploma from Lagos Government College, stating that he graduated in 1970.

Now they celebrate this man that called a President the meanest names during some of the best times in Nigeria's history, a time people were going to Dubai like it's nothing, a time young entrepreneurs were starting to flourish, with a host of SMEs springing up, even awon them Konga and Jumia dem. A man who founded cultism and has not been amongst those to CHAMPION IT'S ENDING since his so-called original fraternity vision has been bastardized.

He stated clearly, that he would evaluate this president after a year, but after a year, he still talks about an election and a candidate that came 3rd. Even if fronted such question by an interviewer, wouldn't a so-called intelligent man guide the interviewer back to topics that are soo concerning TODAY? IT'S LIKE YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE AND THEN SOMEONE STARTS ASKING YOU ABOUT YOUR GIRLFRIEND, YOU'D BE LIKE DUDE, ARE YOU MENTAL, CAN'T YOU SEE MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE?, but no, not the so called sage. Sage my behind.
Sweet tears grin
