Karlovych:
He would have been the first agbero president before the drug dealer, An agbero with Nobel prize. Spits!

You mean first cultist president to rule nigeria?

SusanOpeyemi:
Exactly. Soyinka, just like FFK, Reno Omokri and Bwala are people without any iota of integrity. Soyinka saw bullion van and threw away his reputation.

Just because they're supportive of this administration? Una no well! Without people like these, your gbajue wouldn't have been a governor or talked about contesting for president of the Republic!

You would have lost if you contested..
That's just the truth

All because he doesn't aligns with your lord, for Nigeria to be great is not this generation. IRE O

thesicilian:
Lol.
Either this is all the same person with different usernames, or you obidients called one another to a meeting before creating the thread.
That's the only way the first ten posts on the thread of a reverred international scholar and Nobel Laureate like Woke Soyinka, will all be so negative and full of bitterness.

So helinues is also Obidient abi? So you mean every sensible person on this forum is Obidient?

Prof you don cast, if na before, people do take you very serious and always take your words dearly but not anymore. You betrayed the Nigerian people you have always stood for just because of tribalism served in a dosage of financial pitiance

Werey say na "nearly" 🤣🤣🤣

Sad, I had deep respect for this man, till he started involving himself in politics and was making rubbish statements upandan 😔💔💔

“The youths should learn to shut their mouths if they are ignorant. When they don’t know anything, they have a choice—to not talk about it or be curious, do research, and ask questions: Who is this person? Why did it happen? Who was involved?”

Thank God the hypo.crite did not contest.

Hehehehehe.....but your forefathers didn't question his support for biafla neither did they question his 22 months incarceration for supporting biafla o

Blackman7:
Although I question his support for the tyrant in power, I don't believe prof is tribalistic.

But it isn't a shame that it was a david umahi that built the '30km' road o, okwea??

TrainPark:
He also went to commission the "30KM" road... what a shame!!!

You couldn't manage Road Safety Corps but you wanted to manage a huge enterprise called Nigeria.

Soyinka, The Burden of History in a Missing Generation

Bertrand Russell described idiots and criminals as those that have fallen below the minimal ordinary level. I think it's justified assertion to say that many criticising WS here have fallen into that trap of stupidity.

He's burdened by history, by what it has become, by how it lost its function- educating one or two generations- amidst a missing and irresponsible generation.

What he's set down is very clear: history was stopped at schools in order for a generation or two not to know about the past; history was stopped at schools. Hence, the distortion of its very essence in the June 12 saga. Such that an epoch political moment is reduced to trivial chatters in beer parlours.

Soyinka is spot on. If the youths are ignorant, they should shut up. If they need to know anything they should research and set the records straight.

You have to defend the indefensible even if it takes you comparing Soyinka with Umahi just to achieve your "whataboutism" goal.

Are you not ashamed when you intentionally send your brain on holiday

Umahi is supposed to be a politician (we don't expect any better from him) but what is a Soyinka doing there with his white hair and bigoted hypocrisy?

Hmmm ....these 20th century people need to go and sit down. Majority youths ...21st century digital youths ... I just can't understand why they would even consider voting for 20th century analog ancestors. Is it something in our culture that we must carry out the wishes of the eldest person in the room? ....it is my turn now ... and we voted him in. Soyinka may consider running.

Taaaa dia!
Stop hiding behind 'nigerian ppl'.
'Nigerian ppl' nor send una message!

Fixed!

This man has zero iota of self worth. He sold whatever was left after endorsing Buhari at Tinubu's prompting.

Every man has a price. Unfortunately, Soyinka's price is embarrassingly low - just a few empty pots from Remi Tinubu was enough to buy his conscience and loyalty. Even Reno and Bwala command higher syncophancy price.

Really sad 😔

The person wey construct incomplete road (David umahi) should be given a pass but the person wey employ am (Tinubu) and the person wey visit (wole soyinka) should be hanged.

Ndi-obidients sef!

Umahi 'is a politician' but Tinubu is not okwea??
You don't expect any better as per say e be ibbo right??
Hypocrisy **** una dia.

sreamsense:
If he contests, he will even score more than Obi because the only people who may not côté for him are political inconsequential. Minus 5% votes may not cause more damage

I laughed in Japanese 😂😂😂 you mean he will score more than OBI in his own state? Just to remind you that OBI won Lagos without sharing derica of rice or 3k can wole soyinka do that in any of south east states?

The man died...



A novel my father who held this man is so much esteem made me to read as early as ,Jss3

Mr. Obidient, Not everyone sees life from the prism of Obidients vs Agbadorians!

The buck stops with the leader!

And Soyinka has reduced himself to a mere tribal political tout who does not see anything wrong with how Nigeria is run now... even going to commission 30km of a 15Trillion Naira Road!

To provide context, the whole of Nigeria's budget during the years of Jonathan was about 4Trillion naira per annum yet your lord and Saviour is using 15Trillion naira for a single road just to add value to his personal property!

Forget about Obidients or Agbadorians... use your brain, sir. It is free to use!

Oga, the truth has no tribe or religion...

Nigerians wont vote for you, you are a traitor

Nigeria's finest reprobate, no one cares
