Baba sef to de explain!

Let them enjoy their Trump made bullet riddled paradise in peace grin

Though I guess the reason why he is explaining is to encourage this generation and give them some sense of pride....but alas, he is unaware of the materialistic, unserious and defeatist generation we have nowadays.
Fully agree with you. Ask them to see and seek to control the vast opportunities that belongs to them, as owners of a promising land, in a world of dwindling opportunities and resources, they will begin insulting you and insisting even the worst foreign nation is better than Nigeria.

Me, I have stopped doing it. I now simply enjoy utilising the vast opportunities Nigeria presents with like-minded friends and associates.

Bro, who devil don blind go remain blind. That is the case with most Nigerians

Brought upon you how?!! Is or was he in charge of Buhari's campaign?!!

Was he the head of INEC?!!

Was his vote (that's if he even voted) the sole decider of the winner of that election?!

Did he force anyone to vote for Buhari?!!

Tinubu will never step his feet to united state, why people not asking questions why our president always avoid USA.

I have the answers he was blacklisted for drugs.

Re: Wole Soyinka Reacts As U.S Revokes His Visa Permanently by Hemanwel(m):
Wole Soyinka (don't let me add "prof" to his name) is a typical tribalist. I saw a video where someone was calling him "agba...ya".

At his old age, he has refused to speak the truth to the government of Tinubu, simply because the president is from his tribe.

During GEJ's regime, he was all over the place criticising every policy of GEJ's administration. He was part of the elites who ushered APC to power. It's now ten disas..trous years of APC regime (first led by the late Buhari and now Tinubu), but unfortunately, our social critic has lost his voice.

I will still say it till tomorrow: the only legacy Soyinka will be leaving for Nigerians is Cu.ltism. That is what the coming generation will know him for.

Don't mind that character. He has no respect for anything or anyone.

Much like most Nigerians today who fail because they don't understand they can learn from everyone , to include those they do not share "same ideology" with, and grow to be the best and most successful they can be .

Given the achievement of Prof Soyinka and the immense pride he has brought to Nigeria and Africa, is he someone any normal and balanced person should insult and denigrate casually because he is against the antics of Obi and his Obidient touts?

At 92, what is he traveling about for? He should stay put. We’re still waiting for him to tear his permanent residency. He never went through with the promise.

A convicted felon is running the US as we speak and destroying the Country. Trump get laughed at on the world stage. What could be more lawless than when democracy elects an individual who was supposed to be behind bars to the office of the president and, why the hate on Professor Soyinka? Most of us will never get to reach the heights of Proff's acheivements in our lifetime plus, he is an elderly man who is free to air his opinion.

Trump defrauded innocent students with his Trum university scam, pled guilty and refunded over 20million dollars. Potus is a totally lawless indivdual.

Lol. Look at this unexposed individual. What is special about the US in today's world for folks who are exposed and successful enough to be citizens of the world like Wole Soyinka?

There are literally scores of nation any individual can visit or relocate to permanently today that are far, far, far better than the USA .

Only unexposed, vindictive and bigoted folks like you think it is some kind of punishment Soyinka cannot visit the USA.

See your life, disparaging one of the rare human beings ever graced the earth! I'm not shocked, many of you are ignorant.
USA is not a lawless country until power drunk Trump became their president.

Cry well well. Peter Obi will never ever rule Nigeria, and Wole Soyinka is Nigeria’s first Nobel Laureate, that can never ever be matched
