"May be, OBJ was right after all when he referred to Wole
Soyinka as more of a wine connoseur rather a politician. We
must however pray that the law of diminishing returns do
not sometimes catch up with some of our elder statemen "

That man called wole soyinka has really belittled himself, I take him like a subject of caricature. Anyone can now Ridicule him cause he gave room to that!


Cheers.

Are you brilliant enough to know the occultic gbenga daniel did close down the state assembly as stated by Prof Soyinka or not? Why acting a loudspeaker of an occultic frustrated man?

I know that the truth hurts most times, but I have to say it. To me soyinka is just a lucky man, for him to have won a nobel price with works like,"d lion and the jewel", he should be thankful.
He cannot and can never reach the height and peak chinua achebe reached.

have u read the book, 'the lion and the jewel'? I dnt think so. Have u asked yourself what is particularly spectacular in Shakespeare's books?

I dnt think so too.

What height did Chinua Achebe reach that Soyinka didn't? Pray, mention...

You knw nothing abt 'works' of literature. Have you wondered why 'there was a country' was not considered as a work of art?

Do your homework.

Who is Gbenga Daniel Is he not a mere educated tout who was lucky to become Ogun governor through OBJ's influence? Is he not just ritualist and a blood-thirsty opportunist? He should sit down. He is not useful to the society apart from maybe his family
Don't mind him! he even had the guts to talk. na yeye dey worry am.

It's Joseph Mbu, working for Mama Peace that closed the Assembly. Rivers State's legislators were still meeting in select places for their meetings.

from your comments you want to tribalise this tread. Let me quick and answer your biasity (sic). 1. WS is a dramatist and when he won the nobel prize there are very few dramatist in the world then even till date while CA is a Novelist. 2. Chinua try to explain african by using english while Wole is explaining Africa by yorubalising english. We should be proud of these icons and stop comparing themm they had made their marks what have you and I done for ourselves talkless of Nigeria or humanity than spreading hatred and tribal sentiment. I am yoruba and I am sentimental because I am a human being but I am fighting it because it is an instrument of enslavement. Bro one thing about we yoruba is that we will always question you. The anti govt mouth piece will always be a yoruba man no one can win us. Even Awolowo was defeated by we yoruba, I won't call it betrayal cos we yoruba believ when we blindly follow somebody we will fall into pit. OBJ nightmare is from the southwest, yaradua is the least critise president did you know why because he is a pacifist. Belief in 6months time PMB nightmare will be we yorubas and it has already started in fayose. On the topic Daniel is a thief and a tyrant, blood sucking diabolic thief, wole soyinka was right that jonathan was caged by cabals example is daniel.

My brother, I haven't read much of Soyinka's stuff. But you don't need to.

Just Google his 'Abiku', read it right now, and bow. Soyinka na DOUBLE CHAIRMAN!!

Edit: I must admit that on my initial read, I didn't quite 'grab' the depth of the poem. Luckily, it was in a ancient book, by some white guy, with an analysis and explanation at the end.

Every line is just fvcking loaded.

If the Nobel prize happen to be a Nigerian prize some of you will have screamed tribalism and marginalization. What has WS done to some of you. You just hate him for no reason. When we question why,some of you cant reply. The best some of you will say is that he introduced cultism. Many of his haters are from a particular part of the country. If you will hate Awolowo for conniving with Gowon against Biafra, WS stood by you. I hope you read that in your books. Why the hate

By law of nature, when you grow older, u go senile. The law of diminishing return is a must that can't be shelved when u talk of old age...

The only time this becomes a thing to attend to is when it sets in when it is least expected: like the late 50's.

Gbenga Daniel, the once relevant and best governor in Nigeria has been reduced to nothing and a mere attention seeker like Osoba. The law of diminishing returns clearly sets over him at the least expected time, and worst still, many people are still glad it did.

The idiot should try and stay relevant..

I understand it is painful when no one wants to listen to you, but trying to be heard by hitch-hiking on the wings if the famous is an all new dimension if lowness!

I am glad you even recognize him as an elder statesman, let us hope for your sake, someone will even remember your name by the time you are 60!

Get a life, o daniel..

I still don't understand where your attack on Gbenga is coming from!

Your line tends to suggest that the guy is seeking relevance and I do not understand where it is coming from.

He simply used his twitter handle to respond to Soyinka to what he perceived a personal attack on his person

If you have personal issues with Gbenga, seek another page or story to rant like an illiterate.

Don't take the page on Nairaland to talk thrash
