Wole "Kongi" Soyinka, an African Lion in the Winter, whose storied life straddles the nebulous demarcation between mythology and history.

Over 90 yet still in robust health thanks to a lifetime hiking rainforests and savannas alongside fellow hunters and barefoot philosophers.

Wole Soyinka, a prolific literary icon for the generations in Africa, and far beyond her tumultuous shores where the sea meets the sand.

I was privileged to have crossed paths with this physical and intellectual giant once, many moons ago, when he pulled up at the wheel of an olive-drab Jeep and poured fourth traditional libation to mark the denouement of a chronicle not unlike his own.

Professor Wole Soyinka, the best of all writers in Africa! A G(g)od himself!

May Ogun continue to protect and guide him.

That man is the reason why we have Federal Road Safety Corps today in Nigeria.
Professor started it in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Mr Jelil Adeyemi was the first official driver to Professor then...
It was Oyo Road Safety, later to all Southwest states before it metamorphosed to Federal Road Safety Commission , now Federal Road Safety Corps.

Every good things Nigeria is enjoying today started in our region...if I should be counting them...won po gan.

They all hobnobbed with Sani Abacha and the rest of the military despots until Abacha refused to play ball then they suddenly became democracy fighters. They are now in power and acting worse than the military dictators.

As a Juju witch doctor with several degrees in Voodoo Sciences, my prescription to cure your severe case of unwarranted rage is as follows :

1. Three dried heads of mature MALE Agama lizards, tied together using a single strand of stubborn-grass
2. The carefully clipped toenails from the LEFT foot of a cemetery vulture that is known to be at least ten years old.
3. The germinating seeds from an ancient Iroko tree harvested from the Forest of Demons, and weighed accurately to be 500 grams.
4. The public heirs from a 72-year-old virgin who drinks Sapele Wata daily, shaved cleanly and soaked overnight in slightly rotten palm oil

When all the ingredients are gathered as described above, place them in the blender and liquefy them at the high-speed setting for at least 3 minutes. Add cow urine as needed to maintain a gelatinous consistency during the blending.

Now, keep this magic potion in the fridge and whenever you sense the onset of another self-righteous rage, simply drink 2 cups and relax.

This must have been before Tinubu betrayed Abiola after June 12.

The ayederu man has always been betraying Yorubas since before he used ori olori to enter Chicago.

My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola

What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?

At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.

That is Tinubu?

Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.

He wanted to be a commissioner?

Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.

Was Tinubu very close to MKO?

Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.

Real men that fought for Nigeria together with Tinubu and wike.

Not the Agulu fake messiah that shine teeth up and down.

Lamba master that couldn't manage tiny Anambra but wants to manage Nigeria.

Any idea why the state he shares with Awolowo and Onabanjo is a desecrated land of deliberately uneducated children because progreThief Osoba, Daniel, Amosun and Dapo have failed to leverage UBEC federal funds for nine years free and compulsory education for all children huh

What then is the usefulness of his storied life if he is an integral part of this country with the most out of school children?

Uncompleted projects, dilapidated classrooms litter Ogun despite N10.2 billion rehabilitation

PREMIUM TIMES visited schools that the state government claimed to have rehabilitated and found decrepit and inadequate facilities.

Governor Dapo Abiodun said last year that over 400 primary and secondary schools have been renovated in Ogun State under his administration.

However, when PREMIUM TIMES late in 2022 toured the three senatorial districts of the state, our reporter found facilities in many public schools still in deplorable conditions.

The renovation project was executed with a N10.2 billion fund jointly contributed, equally, by the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) and the state government.

UBEC released its share of the fund to the state government in 2019 to address infrastructural decay and inadequate facilities in 236 public schools across the state.

TheBedWench:
The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States in the 20th century. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of black blood) is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms).

This concept became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste and later segregation. It is an example of  hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.[3]

The one-drop rule is defunct in law in the United States and was never codified into federal law.

To the Yorubas, this Soyinka would be remembered as a noble laureate winner but to the rest of Nigeria and Africa, he will be remembered as a tribal bigot, supporters of evil and cultist and to the west (especially US), an ungrateful idiot and a waste of the prestigious laureate award.
