If nothing is special about America and other oyinbo places, then why is the old hypocrite wailing so much about the visa? Reason am well o.

As for resources, we have nothing since we don’t know how to explore, exploit and process them for our own use.

Bro,that is just an addiction from Wole soyinka.he is addicted to teaching.my dad is close to 80years,we are still begging him to stop preaching on the pulpit.it is just an addiction.on the issue of exploration, maybe u should asked Americans why they monopolised those machineries.even if we can't produce it,we can afford it.but they told d producers not to sell to African countries.they are all thieves.

O P,
So,what is your reports about Whole Soyinka?
That he can't protest about what he does not like,abi?
- So,food don land for you guys on Nairaland,once the NOBEL laureate does not speak for the Opposition,then he becomes subject of bitter attacks,hates and ridiculous funfare on this Forum,abi?
•CHOICE is a cardinal Economic Law,so because he refused to criticize Tinubu govt,then he should be embarrassed ,abi?
Don't always forget that this Prof.Wole Soyinka has paid his own Price in Democracy - from his University Days,to being a NADECO Member - who had to walk by legs, through the pathway to Benin- Republic- to avoid the Abacha Dictatorship Era then!
-Your Write up is biased and scanty ,as usual and is a waste of time and effort as it doesn't even add up on the man,since he said' he can chose to go to USA through different ways ' and if he desires to do otherwise,so what is the fuss in that?
So when the group of NOBEL Laureates meets, in any part of the World,OP and the footsoldiers can go through their doors and take a seat💺!
•Nigerians should always remember that The Politicians you are defending today can decides ' to Chose Permanent Interests Above all things NOT PERMANENT ENEMIES '
This is what they do All Over the World 🌎.
For these Politicians do eat together, celebrate together,gives their Children to become Families and In-laws,but where do the Supporters go from here- left them Divided?
Be Wise Up 🦉 !

Hmmmm. BAba was like " I can't take this.....Trump of all people ? "

Everyone that has benefitted and still benefitting from the illusion called Nigeria and has used their benefits to oppress, cause disunity, destroyed our humanity, made life unbearable for every innocent hardworking Nigerians shall find no safe haven to hide when the final judgement begins on them. Ase Edumare.

Let the old hypocrite take his teaching addiction to the remaining 195 countries of the world and stop wailing about American visa cancellation.

They are free to sell their own machines to whoever they want. If you are not satisfied then get your own leaders looters to prioritise free education for all children and invest in research carried out by scientists who are better paid than politicians.

Ratio of public to private schools in Lagos State is one to 22 ― Commissioner
September 4, 2022

The Lagos State government has said the ratio of public to private schools at both primary and secondary school levels in the state is one to 22.

The state’s Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, gave the revelation in her remark at the 2022 edition of the Total School Support Seminar Exhibition (TOSSE) held at Oregun in Ikeja between Thursday and Friday.

Babasessy:
The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.

It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.

So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history.  Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.

He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.

In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.

In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.

Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.

Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.

The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off.  But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.

I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.

90 year old man child , he destroyed his green card over nothing and is now crying foul

He is not crying foul bro. He is standing for something he believed in. America no be paradise.wole can decide to go to anyother country in the world and he will be granted entry.

shadrach77:
As a professor of repute we can safely say he behaved unwisely. Even if he felt he didn’t need it again he could have kept it. What's the purpose of destroying your green card and then you are now having to queue for visa?

Makes no sense at all. Serves him right.

What if he has a health need that requires a specialist in the US?

Osun state rejected Tinubu in 2023 - please let's be guided.

Mumu man . He destroyed his green card out of hate for his fellow man like how most tinubu Agbero supporters behave in Lagos and Osun states

The United States should never allow him and anyone close to soyinka step foot on U.S soil every again.

If you don’t want to die in your 20s, 30s, 40s and maybe 50s you will realise that Soyinka’s personal choice of Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC is why Nigeria is extreme poverty stricken since 2015.

When will you stop being a mannerless child

Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC

January 19, 2015

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.

On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.

But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.

It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.

With all the jargons above, you still haven't told us how his personal choice of rejecting another country's residency affected your life goals and destiny.

This confirmed that education does not necessarily come with wisdom.
You may be educated, a professor and still be a foolish person. Take a look at Soludo, for example.

Soyinka top that league.

FarahAideed:

Did you even read? The green card is separate from the visa. He relinquished his green card voluntarily and went to obtain a visa instead.

Ezmans:

People don't go to US for medicals. Their prices are insane.

It changes nothing. Baba got few years left

At 90+, citizenship status should be the less of your worries

This man!!
Just imagine the childishness from someone of that age, anyway they say the older you get the more you turn to a child. Did he think the Americans will come crying at his feet, to beg him because he destroyed his green card? Or come and revalidate his visa not in the consular office but at his residence at abeokuta? He thinks he is dealing with Nigerians, Omo Americans no send yah papa.. Country that he will mess up a 22 year old policeman will power slam and suflex his 90 year old frail body on concrete.
Anyway prof is 90y old, watin him de find to travel again.
I have always said nothing pains a Nigerian big man more than the fact that you restrict his movement from traveling to London, NY, Paris.
