When I first heard of Wole Soyinka's utterance before the America's presidential election, I knew this man was looking for the problem of Nigerians. Probably he doesn't know what the guys have become. He thought it was the Nigeria without much exposure he used know. So when he started receiving lashes, he got offended and he's trying as much as possible to reply everyone. Impossible!

So I stumbled on a article titled Kongi "Goes to" Social Media, I was fascinated and thought to share with you guys. Read the article below. You will know of course, our icon needs social media schooling, and that much education is not exposure in itself. Happy reading.

Kongi "Goes to" Social Media

The recent vituperations of Prof. Wole Soyinka against Social Media commentators who had criticized his tearing or not tearing his Green Card is a revelation of the impact of the Social Media in our time. Facebook and Twitter, among others, are redefining our world today and no one is left out of their impact.

The world probably took the Social Media for granted when the Arab Spring was precipitated by pictures of a young Tunisian boy who burnt himself in protest and which was widely distributed on the Social Media. The Arab Spring is yet to rest, as the ongoing war in Syria is one of its outcomes. Egypt, Yemen, Libya and other countries were consumed. The untouchable Gaddafi was taken out by it and the list is simply unending.

In shaping opinions, the Social Media is number one. No one can testify to this better than Goodluck Jonathan. While many might disagree at who was best to succeed him in office, most were agreed that he was unsuitable to continue. The unseating of the first incumbent President in this country should be credited to the Social Media after God.

In the area of opinion molding, the Social Media is foremost. All sorts of opinions rule here and those who are discerning enough can tell truth from falsehood. On the Social Media the excesses of the Church Institution has been exposed to the embarrassment of many pastors. The wise ones are careful with what they say lest they make the headline on Social Media discusses. The stupid ones remain blinded with pride and obstinacy.

So, Prof., sir, this is the New World. It is the world of the Social Media critic where the good, the bad and the ugly abound. In this community you learn to state your mind and ignore the stupid. You engage good opinions but offer silence to the ugly and bad ones, lest while answering them you appear as stupid as they are.

Social Media is a school, sir, you are compelled to attend as a very senior and celebrated citizen. But thankfully you know that until death calls, life offers us things to learn from. Welcome to school. Lol
