This man's life will be remembered by him eating with the oppressors of the masses, as against his earlier stance when he was younger.

Poverty of the mind can really affect old people.
Don’t worry about who the prof aligns himself with in his old age, and how he’ll be remembered… instead worry about whether or not your own father even made any mark in your own community let alone the entire world!

To think Prof is now in his 90's. He's beacon of honour to Nigeria and Africa at large..a living legend. His hair should be preserved even after he's gone.

You’re seeing Nigerian Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka meeting with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The occasion: Soyinka presented the Portuguese translation of his book, Myth, Literature & the African World ("Mito, Literatura e o Mundo Africano"wink to President Lula. This heartfelt exchange took place in Brasília, Brazil, on Monday, August 26, 2025, during Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s state visit to Brazil

But you did not hate evil when Peter Obi refused to build a single school in his 8-year tenure?

When he refused to pay Anambra doctors for a whole year because they complained of terrible working conditions?
To see an average i.bo that likes Tinubu and his associates naaaaa by connection ooooh.

Though you are entitled to your opinion, you may be suffering from acute myopism. Look, even before the civil war officially started in 1967, Soyinka was deeply alarmed by the rising ethnic tensions and the pogroms against Igbos in the North. He recognized the federal government's failure to protect its citizens and the inevitability of secession if nothing was done.

so anyone that doesn't support your agulu packaged fraud is with the oppressor?

So it is everyone that should support your failure right even when it's more than glaring?

See the era of emotional blackmail is over and right now people support their candidate without any bully n intimidation.

Professor wole soyinka will always b respected throughout the world either u headless mobs like it or not
ok...from ur write up...Soyinka didn't support Obi but supported Tinubu.....so what's d difference between supporting Tinubu but hating n protesting against GEJ.....If prof were to be sincere n truthful, Tinubu is doing much worse than any president since democracy.....una want us to forcefully love Tinubu and hate someone whos far better than him?....make una getat

Just that he allowed his integrity to be messed around by a renowned crook, whose all round existence is fraudulent.

President Lula's wife is an Ifa Priestess.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu invoked and leveraged on the strong Yoruba influence in Brazil. Brazil and the Caribbean countries are part of the Yoruba connection. Only the Yoruba can invoke this connection for the benefit of Nigeria.

President is reaping from what our Yoruba forebears took to the new world during the slavery era. The Yoruba forebears are truly wise. They left a strong influence to last forever in the land they were forcefully shipped to. They knew this day will come wink

no Ibo person speaks good about Tinubu

They felt defeated that a Yoruba person is ruling them, they always believe Tinubu took their turn so they will never say anything good about him.

Imagine in my shop, an Ibo guy called me a tribalist cos I supported Tinubu n I asked him to tell me 5 things obi did better than Tinubu as governor?

He avoided the question and said I should go first, I gave him over 10 things tinubu did better than obi n when it was his turn to tell me what obi did better he changed d topic immediately and start talking about tinubu presidency.

I told him to tell me how obi did better than Tinubu n y he chose obi n he was just blabbing, he left hurriedly since then e no follow me argue politics again.

They just hate anything Yoruba

nobody hated on gej

Gej was an indecisive leader who couldn't do the right thing cos he feared people's backlash, he was a populist.


How can u say Tinubu is doing worse, what are your parameters?

Jonathan met d highest oil boom in Nigeria n squandered our commonwealth

Are u on twitter?

If yes a twitter space was held just on Sunday to debate first 2 years of both bat n gej n Bat won.

Jonathan was an absolute disaster n a coward

U can hate whoever u like, it's none of my business but Tinubu is doing well despite d hard reforms

So you don't have your own father, or your father is not worthy of you to worry about or brag with? Always bemusing when you schumcks use this warped riposte.

If you know how rich Wole Soyinka is, you will know that all the drugs traffickers in prisons all over the world whom you know their home town are still poor when compared to him.


If you say Wole Soyinka is poor in the mind, then you need health assessment
He needs a brain assessment.
