Yeah he played a political card back then at home just as he did abroad and both have backfired. Both have come across as sectional.

Said it then, it was a mistake.

That is why it is always good to support principles, ideologies rather than pander about individuals for or against.

You must be a clown. So Soyinka enthroned lawlessness because he didn’t support Obi but Nnamdi Kanu that you claimed should be released enthroned a lawful region in southeast I guess! You people from that side of the country keep making other Nigerians see the bigotry in you.

I know you can’t imagine such boldness from the Prof. because you’re oriented to be a second class citizen. Soyinka is not going to the state to develop there with drugs like your brothers normally do around the world, but rather to develop there intellectually.
You don't know nathing!!!!
You all that supported and enthroned the failure and disaster of a buhari will surely have it....can you come out and beat your chest and boast about buhari!

Imagine all the great men and women all came out to protest against what tinubu later did (even on the first day of his enthronement) and the beneficiary of all people was buhari!!!!
You know nathing!!!

My question to prof is, what has he said abut this APC administration?

Baba you are old already, you have achieved everything needed to be achieved, stay put in our lovely country and let trump eats his card !
His lovely country of waterless cities, extreme poverty and uneducated children?

How much of Soyinka’s tribal hypocrisy made our country like this, because he was bribed with pots and pans by the TAX master planner of Lagos who is doing the same thing from Aso Rock huh

He doesn't matter now but he matters when he carry Biafra issue for head.

What you guys do to him is what awaits the likes of Sowore, Aisha Yesufu, Rufai, Falz Macaroni and Iyabo Ojo
He was simply chasing clouts then as latter events unmasked him for what he really is.. a bigot.

After tearing his green card, why else would he want to go to America again?

All those disrespecting Prof. Soyinka in this thread need their heads checked.

Prof. Soyinka is a national and international icon... Nobel Laurettes are not a dime or penny a dozen.

The man can enter and live comfortably in more than 12 countries across the globe without hassle.



As for his support for Tinubu and APC, that's his complete right as a private citizen...!

Y'all should stop being silly abeg.
Tinubu is his personal friend thats all. Its a little bit of a pity because more was expected from someone of his stature. He even promised to assess the govt after 1 year in office and went silent on that too.

Nevertheless he is indeed a great icon, and will forever be cherished and respected. Also at his age now, people should not expect him to be jumping up and down. 90 years is not beans.

See him hallucinating like he matters to the US. The bigoted cornfield professor must have thought that the US is a lawless country like the one he has helped to enthroned back here.
But Wole Soyinka was not all of that when he was jailed for 22 months on behalf of Igbos while Chinua Achebe his cotemporary fled to the United States and was busy frolicking and knacking American Women

Highly respected man. But your actions were very childish and irrational. 1st you tore your green card in protest against Trump. You later applied and started using visitor's visa. Now you dey disturb us again.

Truth is, you can't destroy such documents of a country and expect them to still allow you into that country ever. It's a big crime and insult to the country Prof. You should know better Sir
