Soyinka: Why Now? Something Just Doesn't Add Up by Nobody: 9:47pm On May 05, 2015
Soyinka:

Igbos remained unrepentant and resolute towards their strategic objective of secession at worst; or a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction at best,” he said at the lecture, which held on April 29...


...“The Igbos are probably the only group of Nigerians that you can predict with great accuracy whom they will vote for in an election, because they tend to put their votes where their stomachs take them; suffering as it were, from incurable money-mindedness, as they would stop at nothing in their quest for personal financial gain.”

So, which is it Wole?

Is it that Igbo people are unrepentant secessionists?

Or

That they are greedy?

I would have thought that greedy people can be easily bought over. Right?
Why then has no one been able to buy Igbo over on secession?
Or do you really believe that a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction can stop secessionist tendencies of the Igbo?

Okay, predict how much it would cost to stop Igbo secessionist tendencies, since they are all about money.

Let me give you a hint: NO AMOUNT OF MONEY CAN STOP IT. The surest way to stop is either genuine restructuring of Nigeria, or outright disintegration.

I really hate cowardice.

Wole why did you not say these things when the genius of African literature the late "Eagle on Top of the Iroko" Chinua Achebe was still alive?

The other day it was an unknown soldier from your corner of Nigeria claiming a victory he most likely never participated in for the Ore incident of the civil war. Now it is you Wole.

You have just finally lost your last credibility among the Igbo. I will now burn every of your "bad verses" I own.

Charlatan. sad

he cannot deny this one because it is following a pattern.
since Jonathan lost the elections, it has been like the second defeat of Biafra.
Quite pathetic.
