Whoever that young man was he just succeeded in making a mountain out of a mole hill. The Nobel Laureate did not as much as exchange any word with him. The Laureate got up from the seat and relocated on request. Although the young man did not in any way disrespect Prof Wole Soyinka, his successful mountaineering of this mole hill on social media shows the height of his stupidity. Shame on that young man.

If I were that lad I would have used that opportunity to connect with one of the world's greatest.

I know of many people that the humble prof changed their stories by giving them the opportunity the children of wealthy and rulers of this world do not have.

Ignorance I abhor thee. Knowledge I adore thee.

And how do you know the said guy is not made even more than WS himself? Poor people mentality.

Can't u just borrow some sense of modesty......enough of social media immorality. Nigerians have cultures, heritages, traditions, knowledge and religions.
Nudity isn't our way!

I don't even believe Wole Soyinka sent that message. No Grammar, no word play, no wittiness, no literary device.

It's most likely one of the numerous hungry blogger invention

I agree with you. I can't hear the prof in that mail

Today we're talking about Regina Daniels, tomorrow Tonto, next Bobrisky, BBN, the man that entered helicopter in traffic and today Soyinka and plane.

Anyway, if this is what we're to use to ease off the pressures we get from this godammed country, then no wahala

Erediauwa:
Is Mo Abudu now the Chief Press Secretary of Wole Soyinka?

I wonder

Stop making wild claims. How many people has the Prof changed their lives. Mention them lets hear. Humble indeed. You talk like you know the man personally

Tolexander:
Imagine how it was blown on the social media like it was a tug of war between Wole Soyinka and the boy in the plane

traffic hungry bloggers everywhere bro. That's what social media is about now. The spread of very fake news just to gain traffic.

Amujale:


I take it that you are a millennial.

Prof. Soyinka dominated our Literature classroom.

Taught me the African narrative.

Professor Soyinka is one of the only three blacksic academics to have won a Nobel Prize in Literature in the history of the prestigious awards. He is the first African ever to win in that category.

Without his genius, all the teachers that ever taught you any subject would probably not be able to understand written language as well as they does now.

Go for what you believe in.
With or without him literature will still be served.
Stand for what is right and speak out.
He is wrong as someone who is learned to sit on someone's sit.
Age shouldn't be used for blackmail

Erediauwa:

It will be an honour for her.

That's why your backward in thinking , because he is a prof, we should kill ourselves, I can't believe am sharing a country with your likes

How old are u? u must be from that side where they use kicks to wake their parents. Yoruba will never disrespect elders for anything. I don't really blame u. lest I forget, Mars is available if u are tired of this Continent

Originalsly:
Why would we believe Soyinka would write like someone who barely finished primary school?

So that Mo [/s]Salah [s]Abudu will understand

If you don't have enough elders in your area, come and take the ones here
Afonjas and their backward thinking , respect is what put us in this mess as a country

Oriyt1:
And how do you know the said guy is not made even more than WS himself? Poor people mentality.

The said guy is acclaimed to be an employee of moaudu, 90% of billionaires in nigeria today don't even have the kind of influence soyinka enjoys on a world scale ...that spoilt brat must av read soyinka books to pass exam or for knowledge ... whoever u think you are you just av to give respect unto whom its due ... if an ordinary hausa army had sat on that sit will he pull that stunt ,infact who among us fit try am.
i am a lagosian n there was a time i travel around with
these mentality i don't send buh what fall my hand the most is when i see elders i don't know i won't greet buh they will greet me esp. in Sw region, had to rethink
i just hope these doesnt had a daint to his CV later on in life ... resume is not just all about grades ask HR

seunmohmoh:
Simple response. I understand everything he wrote this time

Hot lepa

Now we don't even know what to believe. The guy who released the message works for Mo and had come out to discontenance the message as a satire

The message was intended for lazy literants to understand - and not for his audience.

jerryunit48:
The guy sha for respect the Nobel Winner , I remember seeing Wole Soyinka at MM when I wanted to buy a few things at the duty free some years back I was going to Europe, I was so carried away I could have willingly given him my seat

Shut up your mouth there! Even the prince of England wouldn't have done what Soyinka did, in the first place did Soyinka forget the seat allotted to him? It would have been more civilized if Soyinka had taken his original place and then seek the young man's consent to swap seat i believe the young man wouldn't have objected in the circumstance. I pray you shouldn't be so carried away so much as exchanging your life and dying in the place of someone in the name of one stupid respect.

Fulmigati:
I expected a Nobel Laureate of Literature to possess a more "sophisticated" command of Written English.

Soyinka didn't write that.

Fake news is now a big industry and growing.

Pauldollars:
I won't be surprised if some bloggers go to that Airline and dig out the name and more pics of the boy who refused to give up his seat for Prof Wole Soyinka

Nope, Nigeria bloggrs are too lazy. They would rather just be fabricating identity up and down, just like the one you saw today.

Richdad50:


The hypocrisy of these fellas running up and down to talk for the old man is not only shameful but also disgraceful. These same peeps never held their tongue when lashing out at elder Jonathan (ex President).

What the young man did was courageous and very polite. The strength of a man is measured in his ability to withstand equals and superiors.

Name one thing that Wole contributed to this country aside personal honours. Don't honour those who never honoured your fathers.

Richdad

Mumu wole. Then he was busy having a go at jonathan and his wife. Yolo bad who like to respect elders did not call him to order. Thank God I did not read any if his book.

Nigerian and rumours na 5&6

No he’s is, that is why we don’t know his name ... But your generation to come will know about WS

whats the big deal, people should respect reserved seats, they wouldn't do this on international flights, soyinka shouldn't be offended, after all he was rebellious in his youth.

Which one we go believe na!!!!!!!
