Nobody is disrespectful?!!

Has the concept or meaning of "Disrespectful" changed?!!

...Or you are new to Nairaland and Social media?!!


The main people that helped enshrine Buhari in 2015 were:

1. Goodluck Jonathan for being clueless and unable to take firm grip of his cabinet.

2. Practically all religious leaders from Christians to Muslims.

3. Sowore and Sahara Reporters.

4. The same Atiku and El-Rufai forming opposition.

5. Average Nigerians that felt anyone, even a goat, was going to do better than GEJ.



So, maybe you need to revisit that statement.
And you managed to find a way around "shepopotamus!",how brilliant undecided



Like I said,we have great respect for him...it's just that he allowed himself to be entangled and caressed with and by these rogues in power.

And also those supporting him.
I doubt it.

Most of his supporters have character.

The others are simply fiending for the attention of America.

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
He was chasing clouts then, nothing more nothing less.

Breath, let your bigited induced existencebreath too. No one in your generationdead alive or unborn can ever accomplish 1/ trillion what Soyinka accomplished.

Wole Soyinka no be your mate. If you doubt me, he is your father's age mate, tell us your father's name let compare with that of Soyinka ?

Hate nor bigotry no fit fill the gap, you will only end up disgracing your father who can never meet up to Soyinka's standard so drink water n rest easy. Person wey pass you pass you.

An old man who is a child of left wing liberal propaganda and lies.

How once great men fall to sentimentalism, emotionalism and pure illogicality is the biggest tragedy of all.

The irony is that President Trump has performed way better than his own president who is a colossal disaster to Nigeria to the next generation but he hasn't protested once

If this man is an Ibo man he for done go retirement in his village. I love Trump. I love America. That is where institutions works. Soyinka never know that America don't give a Bleep if you refused to obey their laws.
Which institution?

Trump just knocked down the east wing of the White House without any recourse to Congress.

Jakumo:
In the fullness of time after this dreadful anomaly called the Trump regime is dead and gone, Wole Soyinka will be approached by US government officials who will likely offer the Nobel Laureate a lifetime unlimited reentry visa, in recognition for Wole Soyinka's lifelong heroic stand against tyranny not only in Africa, but now also in the USA, the one-time bastion of electoral democracy now facing its greatest existential peril.

Wole Soyinka is an African literary icon whose creative influence transcends cultures and time-zones for a truly global reach. It is noteworthy that Wole Soyinka could have taken the path of least resistance, and kept quiet while he witnessed the evolving tyrannical tendencies of Donald Trump in America, but Wole Soyinka's indominable and immutable conscience got the better of him, forbade him to remain quiet, and caused him to relinquish forever his once-treasured American Green Card in protest over the unconstitutional ascent of King Trump in America.

Those who mock and revile Wole Soyinka with their usual online vituperations would not qualify for engagement as a gardening trainee manicuring the lush landscape of the professor's country estate, yet thanks to the anonymity of the internet, the usual crew of career clowns who always find fault in Wole Soyinka are free to wax lyrical in their capacity as inconsequential court-jesters.

God bless Nigeria. God bless The United States of America
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the bedroom tackle of Trump, his fellow Nazis, and all his cult followers.
Yes, he will be approached post mortem.

Of course Tinubu, Wole Soyinka and all the Ojota Occupy Nigeria hypocrites of yesteryears would forever go down in infamy for foisting Buhari upon this nation and continuing the disaster thereafter. They won't escape their punishment
You just mentioned five supporters or possibly five voters for Buhari and there were over 15 million voters mostly from the North. I will suggest you embrace the Paul Biya style of politics in your potorpotor region. You don't understand politics at all if you are blaming only 4 people for 15 million voters

Pride goeth before a fall. See ethnic profiler, tribal jingoist and a morally unstable character like Wole Soyinka telling you all lies when he knows US keep rejecting his visa application since he supported the violence that prevented none yorubas from voting in Lagos guber in 2023.

If he is as important as he deludes himself, he wouldn't have been asked to come for reinterview.

They just reminded him that he ain't any different from the next poindexter.

Imagine regarding the ability to travel to another country as a social status.

Wole Soyinka is a very youthful 90 year-old who still walks miles as a bush-fowl shotgunner on a regular basis. Without question, Wole Soyinka will outlive millions of fellow Nigerians who sport wobbly beer guts, and walk with a limp at 40. It would therefore be presumptuous to declare that the Trump tyranny will outlive Wole Soyinka, all things considered.

You are not even ashamed to claim Soyinka brought buhari upon you. You no get family or towns people, state, region or tribe? If soyinka can bring buhari on you then those that I have mentioned above are all useless.

Dear Prof. Wole Soyinka,

You are wasting your time if you want to know why your visa was revoked.
You can only get confused more and more if you want to know why.
America has no respect for the aged ones who are already knocking at the gate of the great beyond, count yourself very lucky that they did not blackmail you with a sex xscandal, arrest you, try you before dumping you.
Be wise, spend your remaining time on earth in Nigeria and the countries that sincerely want you amongst their people.

Take a moment to look at all the published book titles that Professor Wole Soyinka has on sale with Amazon books. Note how many of those books are RECENT works whose literary quality has only improved with time like a fine wine.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=by+Wole+Soyinka&i=digital-text&crid=SN1WOVTWKOLH&sprefix=by+wole+soyinka%2Cdigital-text%2C657&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

As you scroll through this formidable body of work, ask yourself in all honesty, if the writer whose genius created this catalog of published books, could possibly be described as having an "outdated" brain, of all things.

Have a good day sir.

Soyinka in his words "people should always stand against discrimination and injustice"

I wish you preach this practice to your Brother who is the "Selected" and not "Elected" Drug peddling Baron in person Of Bola Ahmed Thief-nubu..

He needs to stop the discrimination and injustice openly practiced by his Government besides that. God bless America for revoking your Visa it's high time you big men sat your asses down in Nigeria and Suffer with the masses.

God Bless America.

I love his gut honestly. If Nigerian leaders had since independence sacrificed to develop the country and stop corrupt practices, no one would be so eager to visit the advanced countries except to go on vacation and for tourism. Imagine we now see visa as a jackpot and something worth to be thanking God for and sharing testimony because of the failure of our leaders to develop our country.
