He has reduced himself to less than nothing by playing partisan politics in Nigeria while playing host to the tallest talking drum iin a state where people are dying of hunger.

His prime is over, he is now senile. No one takes hims seriously.

Wole Soyinka is now recognized within his academic circles as a fraud.

grin

Only God know how some people would have beat their flat chests if he was elected.

I like the part when one of the poets said Wole Soyinka is no longer a prolific poet and hardly writes poetry anymore.

Well the reason for his lack of poetry is because he had free meals and board courtesy of Amaechi de Magga

Of what benefit is this post to the average Nigerian?
How many Nigerians actually understand Soyinka's literary style?
I find his writing to be very pretentious and inaccessible to about 90% of Nigerians so what is really the point of it?
Also Soyinka never criticises the western world which for me indicates that he is an imperialist puppet.

White privilege and its ugly face. Why even nominate the man, when it's clear you wanted a white man? Soyinka led the voting, until they started campaigning for Simon Armitage everywhere. And the late surge was what pushed him.

Anyway, Soyinka is 81 - and he doesn't even need it.

Wole Soyinka won't be anybody today if not for that great white chieftaincy tittle he carries around.

Wole Soyinka is overrated
