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.
The Best from your land wish they could lace Prof. Wole Soyinka's shoe! Hoebee will never be President of Nigetia - cry more!

Soyinka is a bigot because he feels tinubu is a better candidate than Obi an igbo man like you? Lol.. It's obvious who the real bigot is.

But he has been silent and his sense of justified criticism since his kinsman and a former benefactor became president of the FRN

Let many more Nigerians do the same. Learn to respect yourself.

The real power you have in any asymmetric relationship is the ability to walk away.

Going to meet them, and grovelling for a visa is beneath him and I'm glad he didn't.

Kudos

God bless Trump ...Wole Soyinka is a crafty man that deserves no VISA ...


We remember he said if Trump is voted he will tear his green card and today he is crying his VISA has been revoked ..

They invited you for interview but you refused and now you are here doing content with it ..


Till date this crafty man has refused to criticize the worst govt we have ever had
He has achieved everything he needs to achieve, can you mention any of your father's achievements that can stand beside soyinka's great achievements.

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
I also supported him but regretted afterwards. No one knew his govt would end up like that.
And STOP painting GEJ as a saint or a better leader. if he had done well, no one will campaign or even vote Buhari.
Buhari's incompetence only became glaring after assumption of office.
Also, it is myopic and baseless blaming someone that campaigned for Buhari for misleading you?
Did Soyinka provide you with any fact that wasn't in the public domain about Bihari that made you vote for him?
If Soyinka asks you to not marry, will you do same?

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.
I am amazed at the ignorance being displayed on the thread. If they think Prof's accomplishments are a child's play, they are very free to attempt to achieve a tenth of it. They can only foam at the mouth and make noise online but they can never be half the man Prof is.

Is Prof. Wole Soyinka worth fighting for? Well, maybe when it comes to Trump taking him on.

How did he bring Buhari upon us? Was he the 12 million and 8 million votes that made Buhari our president in 2015 and 2019? Or you believed that he was the one who convinced us to vote Buhari?
What convinced people like you to also vote for buhari was your hatred for the Igbos...you peeps were everywhere shouting that GEJ gave his govt to them

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
The present generation don't know the worth of Professor Wole Soyinka. We know his worth and southeasteners are still grateful to him for standing in defense of Igbo and tyranny.

Though,as a mortal,he may have his fault.

But let it be on record that Soyinka stood in defense of Igbo man during the civil war.

We do recognize his worth and would be recognized at appropriate Time.

He also stood by the Niger Deltans when the yorubas wanted a reprisal after the freedom fighters blew up atlas cove that resulted in a single death..he and the late Faseun stood up and told the oodua people that the Niger delta strikers only came for the govt and not the oodua people. We respect and reverence Soyinka but these agbado people want everyone to believe he is hated by the better southerners which is false.

The truth is,the gang leader tinubu actually deceived them into that protest against GEJ,they hardly knew it was all for the failure buhari like that...but it was a great unfortunate mistake...
Soyinka knows the truth about what's actually happening in Nigeria and he remains a great man.

The U.S did the right thing and I thank president Donald Trump for permanently revoking this yeye man's visa. Let him stay in Nigeria and enjoy the government of tinubu which he supported.

Wike and his wife should be next.
Foolish people that has brought this country to her kneels.
The US truly has more visas of 'craftily important Nigerians' to ban. Even though the US is on celebration when Nigeria goes on its knees.

If he is a private citizen then why is he being given so much attention in our public space?

His support for Tinubu and APC is subject to public scrutiny. If he doesn’t like it, he should crawl into a hole.

What is being silly about scrutinising every little detail of those who occupy our public space huh
