Why Tribalism Will Never End On Nairaland by meforyou1(m): 10:36pm On May 05, 2015 |
How will it end when a man like soyinka will go to faraway USA and insult igbos for heaven's sake. Soyinka's issue with igbos is 2-pronged with one never having anything to do with the igbos. Soyinka is Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi's friend. And when a land issue ensued between Governor Amaechi of Rivers and First Lady Patience Jonathan, a native of Okrika in Rivers State, Soyinka naturally sided his friend. Which led him to calling her Shepopotamus. The second is his rivalry with Chinua Achebe, an igbo man and a fellow writer. I am a writer myself, and know how deep and strong such rivalries can be. I will dissect the writing styles of both in the literature forum and explain the angst of Soyinka towards Achebe because Achebe's works are more accepted. Soyinka doesn't hate Goodluck Jonathan. Have never critised Goodluck. Though Soyinka's criticisms don't matter much. He criticised IBB when IBB was ruling, till IBB established Federal Road Safety Commission for him and made him head. One, he did a poor job of it and was eventually removed, and two, his criticism of the administration died a natural death. Back to the matter at hand. Why is he so bitter at igbos for voting Jonathan? We are not the only ones that did. South South did. Ekiti did. One or two states in the north did. Soyinka just hate igbos because of Achebe, who is now late. I'm very sure it is because "There Was A Country" which I'm so glad Achebe wrote. |
