I'm sure this man still smoked till date and he's 84 years old,..... it's called Grace. Don't copy someone whose level of Grace is greater than yours.
Smoking is dangerous to your health
Cheers to the Number 1 of all cults in Nigeria
Rubbish... What do you mean by grace? What is grace level? Who gave him the grace of I may ask?

You mean God gave an atheist, cult pioneer and smoker grace over his own children

You would put him after Adichie too? Look i'm not the biggest fan of Mr Soyinka but i respect his accomplishments. Putting Achebe ahead of him is debatable/somewhat reasonable but putting Aditchie ahead of him is laughable at best.

It's not grace it's just plain ol' life, science to be exact. Some ppl are more susceptible than others to certain triggers. Your body probably has things it could deal with that his can't. Smoking is dangerous, but not everyone who does so would die young

God's ways are not same as man's..... if he is this terrible then he shouldn't live up to 84 years. I know a few people who have died in the last three years and are close to powerful General Overseers who has woken up the dead before but they still died. How do you explain this without Grace.

He lost his value the day he decided to sell his conscience, play off the truth and hide behind shadows to support the leader of herdsmen. Y'all will be disappointed come 2019. Politically, they declared June 12, only a few gullible bigots can be fooled.

I wish him long life.

Go get ur pvc. Una go see magic nxt year
so if you just end up making a fool of yourself in the name of opinion.
Jonathan promised to go on exile if he doesn't complete the 2nd Niger bridge in 4yrs but he failed and he still wanted to run for second term.

the same Jonathan can't point to any solid project executed when crude was selling at all time high yet our reserve was dipping!!!

the same Jonathan went to party in Kaduna the following day after chibok girls were kidnapped!!!

under the same Jonathan boko haram killed Nigerians in thousands, in fact we used to get news of bomb blast every day in second half of 2012!!!

Tori Jonathan failed so much that a geriatric dictator became a better option at the polls!!!

Jonathan's failure made buhari attractive!!!

so pls shove your opinion up your as$. soyinka has the right like all other Nigerians to have a political opinion. so why should he lose his value cos he expressed his support for the opposition then? is he not currently criticising buhari too?
