Sir , that is your personal decision . Coming out to give us updates shows that you want it public to pander to a particular political class in the USA. People didnt like Obama or Biden that much and I can't remember any green card holder or citizen tearing their passports. This shows that you are intolerant of other viewpoints. Has Trump killed anyone ? What has Trump done that other past US presidents have not done ? So why Trump ?

My opinion is that oga prof knows that republicans will not always be in government . When the people he frolicks with return to power , they will restore him amidst fanfare and intensified engagements . All na game plan .

“Silence in the face of prejudice,” Soyinka said, “is as dangerous as the act itself.”
Soyinka has been regrettably silent in the face of Tinubus /Sanwo Olus calculated attempt to ethnically cleans Lagos in recent months.. the silence has been deafening and earth shaking..

Any Yoruba elder that kept quiet as people's legitimate multi million naira real estate investments are/were being torn down by a vindictive APCs government in Aluasa/Abuja, is/was a man that "died in the face of justice".

Truth has to be said no matter how uncomfortable..

It took the intervention of the late Chief Emeka Anyaoku, who later became Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, to calm the situation and prevent it from escalating.
:
When did these people see Anyaoku die?

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.
Nobody is disrespectful to him....it remains appalling and strange and unfortunate that he's one of those who enthroned buhari on a once peaceful thriving nation

Self-respect is called for! He took issues beyond the ordinary when he tore up his green card. That he did not jump into the Ogun River just because he didn’t like Trump being President was disappointing! His intolerance is legendary and belies his much touted IQ! Tolerance of the other person is key in living life to the fullest. It all shows that mind is Lilliputian notwithstanding his Professorship!

You want a 90+ old man to help you fight your government, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Was he 40yrs when he called a sitting president's wife shippopotamus? Another man's wife! Such an uncouth behavior coming from a so called noble Laurette, very despicable!

Tueh!

The Prof. is a great scholar and the only thing tainting his reputation is his involvement in the forming of the pyrate confraternity which has metamorphosed into a killing field in our schools{ primary - tertiary}, the United States like other western countries are feeding fat from Africa and its high time we call their bluff.
Wait till they give you visa, then you can call their bluff 🤣

Are you so dump that you can't reason on your own?
He campaigned for Buhari then dragged you with your Pvc to vote abi?
He isn't dumb, na u no understand anything.

That Prof used his influence to defame GEJ and worked for Buhari. He inflenced a whole lot of people to see Buhari as the right man.

How could an exposed Prof not know that Buhari isn't competent. Someone that did not add any value to his life after leaving office since 1985, someone that was struggling to say the fill meaning of his party- APC, The name of his deputy. Someone that has no business or institution or organization he was managing wanted to be president.

Even far younger, less educated and exposed folks knew Buhari was too dull, unintelligent and pale to lead as president except Noble kini
