This was the time Nigeria Police don't go about carrying gun. They carried baton that was popularly called "Kondo Olopa". In fact, the Yoruba derivative word "OLOPA" for Police actually stemmed from the fact that Police was known to carry batons, not guns. "Olo+opa" meaning "the holder of stick or staff, which actually was their way of saying Baton. Indomie generation won't know this grin . Check my signature to buy intelligent dispenser.

He doesn't need to steal his wife's dress, people from that side always have rat poison in their pocket waiting for when the going gets tough.
That was what gave him that confidence.
Luckily for him, it didn't get tougher than what he expected.

I'll happily swallow rat poison, than run away in hiding dressed like a little girl.

I think that's far better than Potopoto cowards who lead their people to slaughter only to run away like refugees and abandoning their people.

Woke Soyinka, an erudite professor who was decieved by a dense, tribal religious fanatic Gen Buhari.

Soyinka ventured to change the narrative of the leopard never changing it's spot.

Like Sarrki said above and I agree, 98% Nigerians are corrupt.
What this means is that Soyinka gave his support for buhari whom he had disparaged in the past, at a fee.


The remaining 2% clean Nigerians are myself and Sarrki.

Use your common sense, please.

If Wole Soyinka collected money or privileges to vote for Buhari, how come no one has mentioned it now that Soyinka has become critical of Buhari?

One philosophy of democracy is the freedom to vote. Which means you can vote for Alao today, and not vote for him tomorrow, depending on how you view Alao (and not necessarily because Alao gave you any money to sway you).

Since you are only capable of thinking about money as the only thing that can sway votes, then I think you are a corrupt person through and through. Stop projecting yourself onto Soyinka. That you are willing to sell your soul for a fee doesn't mean that a man who has built a solid reputation for being a fearless political activist will now suddenly risk everything in old age for how much?

A Nobel prize winner, a one time president of the International Drama Society, a one time editor of Encyclopaedia Britannica, a man who has lectured in some of the oldest and best universities (including Harvard), a man whose flight and expenses are paid for just to give a 2 minute reading, will now throw away everything for a fee when he knows he can be called out later.

Use your head abeg.
