Those of you hating on and cursing Wole Soyinka are mad.... May you not grow old to reach his age...

Aww, that's awesome! He looks amazing at 90! I wish him many more years to come and in good health, IJN. Amen

Because it's become a trend on nairaland, Igbos and ronu gangs using any opportunity to attack the other tribe. What I said regardless didn't demean any tribe. I only pointed out a fact that not everyone in all tribes have integrity. We have good and bad people in all tribes. Do you have any problem with this?

You asked for clarification. I provided one...case closed.

Amen!

Mionikuuuure!

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.

Do they have Nobel prize? WS is the first African to be awarded Nobel prize so it's worth celebrating.

What is with geniuses and this type of grey hair? Albert Einstein comes to mind.
Happy birthday sir!

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.

The reality of a city mourning because of bad governance is no different to saying the ground is wet because it is raining. It is not an invitation to go into politics.

This is an example of "bigness bias" Is politics ( a place you must subordinate your values for votes) the only place where you can create the kingdom? The idea that things must occur at scale and in public view is what troubles many people. Whether as a parent, an employee, an entrepreneur or whatever the kingdom is formed.

The kingdom is not about size, scale and strength.

You err in the scriptures but you are not alone. You have merely received from those who erred before you.

Please find me any political Christians outside the pseudo Christianity of Constantine within 200 years of Jesus death. All the Christians that entered Nigerian politics, which ones have salted the land? What effect have they had? You will be the first ba? OK.

I won't reply you any more on this point. Just keep Christ out of your human shenanigans.

Still dodging my question, show me where Jesus was against going into politics. Most of you Christians just like to cherry pick what ever scripture that favors you. Keep praying ok that God should come down and fix Nigeria for you He will come because He doesn't have anything better to do after giving y'all everything any nations needs to prosper. Like I said prayer/ without works is vain. You can pray from now till tomorrow for Nigeria, without contributing your own quota in works, nothing will happen.

SmartPolician:
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.

You can encourage your popsy to take over from where PWS has failed you naa.

Trump was great for America economy and Americans but this foolish old man called wole Soyinka criticized him but wouldn’t criticize the current regime that has progressively impoverished Nigerians as never seen before.

ruffDiamond:
Soyinka will go to his grave regretting what he did to Jonathan and nigerians unless his conscience is completely dead ..this man fukked up big time!he has lost so many adoring admirers and many who sees him as role model intellectual wise !all because of a messy porridge of personal gratification! pathetic! pathetic! The Prof lost it

Prof Wole Soyinka is already a fulfilled man. He has great accomplishments and will enjoy the rest of his life in good health and peace of mind. Have you ever seen a 90-yr old this handsome, relevant,
sharp and healthy?
Shun unnecessary bitterness, even Jonathan Goodluck you're pretending to defend isn't this bitter.

Big Amen
