I'm not a trubalist, and Jonathan's government many people campaign against it, the issue with Nigeria is the next government is always worse the previous one we thought was more terrible
We saw Buhari and Tinubu coming and we warned Nigerians. How can you vote for people who deliberately avoided political debates? In a sane country Tinubu and Buhari would never win any election but Nigerians are made different, most of us are daft.

Prof. Wike Soyinka still observing table manner as he has refused to comment on Tinubu's performance as he promised.
When you're eating at the table of your closest friend, you must surely observe table manner.

Why not tell your father to do that.

You still expect a man of 90 years to be fighting for you while you spend your miserable existence on Nairaland?

You no well!
Firstly my father never promised to asses Tinubu's governance, secondly I never wrote in my comment that he should come and fight for me neither did I force him to tell Nigerians that he would assess Tinubu 's government in 1 year time which has already passed...

As a Nigerian whom he told that he was going to do something for all Nigerians, I am only reminding him as a patriotic citizen to fulfil his words....


Or are you trying to call Wole Soyinka a liar or a man who fails to keep keep to his words?

Now you are here throwing insults at me for being patriotic, no wonder the country is the way it is today because of people like you...

You are no longer living in the Davidic era. In that era God chose Israel as his representative nation. To exercise judgement on the earth. Through Christ, tgat era has passed and each one of us is his representative You are in the period between post
pentecost and the apocalypse. Those are the
scriptures you should be looking at.

Why are you trying to prop up an unstable babylonian system? Why are you seeking equity and justice in the darkness. Did Daniel not prophecy that these systems would fall?

What you should be doing is building your family and neighbourhood into something that looks like the Kingdom - where authority is bottom up not top down.Start from your house.

Look I don't usually discuss these things because it takes a while for the scales to fall.

Feel free to do whatever you like.
Why are you ignoring the part that talks about when the wicked rule? Did Jesus say don't become kings or go into politics? If you're the follower of Jesus then you should quit your job as well and be like Jesus who didn't have a job but relied solely on His heavenly father's job. His disciples also didn't have jobs , formerly fishermen but became fishers of men. Going by your logic you working is also serving two masters. I'm not your Gen z kinda Christian, I was born and bred in the knowledge of the Bible. I attend the apostolic faith church. So if you want to speak about the scripture I'm down. I'm still waiting for you to show me where Jesus condemn anyone or said anyone should not go into politics. I'm waiting sir.

Just like God is not against you having wealth here in the world, same way God is never against going into politics. Politics in Nigeria has become something else because, Christians like you have chosen to fold their hands without doing anything. You pray for a better Nigeria and have faith that God will change Nigeria. What did God say about faith without works? Keep praying bro, you're on a long thing.

I didn't even read you epistle of agony. The moment I saw mother, I stopped reading cos that means you are one of those kicking your parents like trash at home. That's said, your Agulu fraud will not smell that seat and your enclaves will remain deserted, unproductive and forgotten for a loooooooog time to come if ..hehhehe

Nobody cares about your tribe.
So many ibos masquerading as Yotuba , Fulani and Hausa on twitters.

Soyinka has been criticising all administrations since independence.
Now he is 90 years. Why not tell your father to take over from there?

Do you still expect a frailedl 90 year old man to be fighting for you while you waste away on Nairaland?
Same frailed old man said with his own mouth that after a year he will access Tinubus administration. A year has passed and he's stayed mute like your dumb father who begat a brainless slowpoke like you. Oponu alainironu omo irankiran aletenuje , ode.

How does this correlate with what I wrote up there in response to the person I quoted?
Jovi10:
As if it's all Igbos that have dignity. Any small thing you people are quick to involve tribe in it. You guys are becoming worse than the Ronu gangs sadly. I'm yoruba by the ways, voted obi , voted Jonathan and I'm a Christian.
You called out Igbos for no cogent reason in your previous comment. You have no proof that the person that made the comment you quoted was Igbo...yet you quickly assumed his ethnicity for whatever reasons.

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.
Did you just say Falana? One day his book will open.

They have finally gagged our dear professor with sumptuous and five-star meals of flattery. Our foremost critic of the Goodluck Jonathan's heavenly administration has suddenly misplaced his voice in this Tinubu's hellish administration. Little wonder he is all smiles and no voice. 😂

I won't fail to wish you, Prof Soyinka, a hearty and merry birthday on this occasion. As you slice the national cake, I hope you remember where you kept your critical voice of lawless and poorly performing governments as you have always done in the past. Wish you long life, professor.

Just like you, I was leaning towards voting for Bitter Obi until I started to witness the level of uncivilization and senselessness of his people...And the man on the other hand didn't have the wisdom to quickly address the issue and convert their negative energy into a positive movement.
If you can't control your people, you definitely can't handle Nigeria as the president. Thank God we rejected Gbajue method of operation.

Nigeria will be Great Again!

For what exactly if i may ask? Tribal thing? How many professors clock 90 and above in Nigeria? Those that their work even adds values to humanity and the country are not celebrated.

Love or hate him, he's one of the few 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
If you don't find any wrong about Soyinka's action lately then you're a tribal bigot and a hypocrite

Still on still everyone should be responsible for their actions. This doesn't still validate Tinubu as a good candidate bro. We should not be going from Buhari to Tinubu, it's crazy.

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.
Hello Gbajue society.
I'm not surprised at all with the way your thought process is designed; it is expected, you can't give what you do not have.
