That's not true. Falana criticises everyone, including this government. He even defends nobodies in court through his pro-bono. The spirit of Femi Falana is what Falz exhibits today.

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.
I would have passed by everything you said apart from the "and a Christian"

I cannot understand how a Christian can be a strong party man. A Christian owes allegiance to another Kingdom and his war is not against flesh and blood. So I really wonder what you mean when you trotted out the yoruba, obidient Christian ID.

Bible says all authority comes from God and endures at his pleasure. No one can last a minute in any position of authority outside of God's will. God's will does not mean God's approval or seal. It simply means God's permission.

I think if indeed you are a Christian you should take a chill pill and rather be praying the Isaac prayer of a hundred fold in a time of famine. Or was it the ruler that Isaac was focused on during the famine? Was he cursing someone for the famine? Check.

Anyway the seed of Trumpian Christianity is all over the world. May God help us all.

Tell me where in the Bible that condemns being in politics? Point it out and I'll quit. I studied political science and international relations and I didn't study it to keep my cert in the wardrobe. I'll go into politics mate.

I will assess Tinubu's administration in his first year as president - Wole Soyinka

A year later......

News flash: President Tinubu names Abuja flyover after Wole Soyinka

Wole Soyinka after 1 year:🤐💰💰🤐

It's not about that. WS knows Tinubu more than we do.

They have fought in the trenches together against oppressive governments.

Even if he wants to criticize him, he won't do it publicly.

Nonsense imagine a whole Governor celebrating a cultist and the founder of cultism in Nigeria
Obi Peter is also a cultist ....if you doubt me ....go and ask him when/if you meet him

Son and daughter of haters ....you always show hatred about Yoruba people....since you relegated your brilliant heads , we don't....we celebrate them....

Ojulwu die a horrible death, and Azikwe died also in sorrow ....almost all your IBO ancestors died a great sorrowful death because of the deep-rooted wicked in your land...

I join his friends and well-wishers to celebrate the great icon ...the legend in literacy and the native novel industry to celebrate Professor Wole Soyinka...I'm proud of him and his impact shall forever be remembered.....


The first African person to earn a Nobel Laureate prize... They saw all your archaic professors in Ibo land and none of them merited the award except Ojogbon Wole Soyinka.....

That's false. Wole Sonyinka had access to all the presidents he criticised. He would always visit them in Aso Rock but became their nightmare at some point.

Now, instead of criticizing his friends in power, he is busy attacking Obi and OBIdients (young people demanding a working country in their time). It was Wole Sonyinka's generation that destroyed the prosperous country the British handed over to them.

However, OBIdients want to stop Nigeria from being a global disgrace in their time, but Soyinka is attacking them instead of attacking his friend destroying what's left of the badly damaged country.

My tribe is not your business you say. This is not about tribe. If Soyinka is what he says he is, why has he become silent at the face of oppression?

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
He is instrumental to the present economic and governmental disaster we have in this country.

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.

It's not really like that from findings. Someone can only be shouting on something that is wrong and you don't know what and what is been done to better it. But when you are given an explanation beyond a reasonable doubt and you yourself was asked to proffer likely solution then it will be very difficult to start shouting unnecessarily again as an activists. except just to only cause confusion or one didn't like the government. If Falana is the Attorney general or given a committee to held on solving a major national issue and several documents not in the public were presented to him, so he understands everything now and proffer solutions. how will he say something against solution provided by himself. So my brother it's not they keep quiet but they know the truth. Ok, imagine federal government announced Nairaland has an official platform to monitor and report the activities of the LG in every part of the country. You will notice that naturally people will stop making unverified statements and be guided without anyone telling them to do so because a lot of events will be known and clearer to the people and you can be held responsible for your reports.
