It is very clear that many of the young men and women making comments here do not have a good knowledge of the man, Prof. Wole Soyinka, some of them were either to young to know when he won the nobel price or were not yet born and unfortunately their fathers did not tell them his story.
The man Soyinka hates injustice, you can't take it away from him. A man in his 80s is certainly a grand father and should be respected.
Prof should see all the negative comments about his person as one of the downside of social media. It does not imply that Nigerians does not appreciate his person and contribution.
Most of the young men on social media rattling our Prof should kindly desist from it. South Africans will never disparage Mandela or Desmond Tutu they way we are doing to Wole Soyinka.

This has Igbotic Mentality written all over it.

What is up with the amala statements you baboon?? Abi No be food?? Animal!.

Not all Igbos are like that I know...but we have many of them imbeciles and baboons, nah your father be coward!!!!

blueskies:
. How asertive are you all in question of him not havin torn his green card? And I think I sighted a post a few weeks back dat confirmed he did. And even if he didn't, he's a human rights activist and may av made that statement ironically in defense of some people. One doesnt alwys talk with both sides of d mouth. Let's stop unnecessary criticism, there'r way more crucial issues that shd b criticised. Issues eating deep in dis nation and d society dat can affect our future and those comin behind us. He's an achiever so pple pay attention to evry detail he says whether its of importance or not, let's also bcom achievers so we can b recognised

discusant:
Wole, you don't seem to understand that you made a hate-speech by threatening in public place that if an American wins an American presidential election, you would tear your American Green Card in protest.

Americans don't tolerate hate speech.

America is not a Third World country where people make hate speeches and get away with it.

Because Wole made a hate speech was the reason Nigerians descended upon him.

Show respect for a man that called you and ur generation a slowpoke, imbesile, baboon and barbarians?

Stop allowing tribal sentiments cloud ur sense of reasoning.

ehinmowo:
If u question Soyinka's fight for the common man, then you truly don't know the man at all.

If you question his achievements, then there is a problem with your brain.

As to whether wot he said is right or wrong, i don't know. because that something or someone doesn't follow the stereotypes does not make him right or wrong. And somtimes, somethings u claimed 2 b wrong cud take ur brain another decade 2 comprehend.

He will soon tear his clothes and start raving mad, cursing and trashing the whole place. I knew something was wrong when he started eulogising and consorting with a known kleptomaniac.


Hubris. ...the downfall of so many over-bloated egos and empty testicle, dangling and swaying from side to side. Soyinka has joined the rank and file of Obasanjo, Buhari, IBB, Abdusalami, Gowon, Tony Anenih, EK Clark, etc etc. Nigeria have them in abundance, men who are so shameless and have refused to quit the stage, for the younger generation. Men who think they are so wise, the country would crash without them. Men who think they are immortals sharing this tiny space with mere mortals. Men who have a sense of entitlement. Soyinka just called himself the champion of free speech, yet when we apply same free speech to question his actons, he gets angry. Is this what he learnt from known dictators that he had been dining with or he has been a closet intolerant man all his life?


He said Nigeria weep more than the bereaved and interfere in what is not their business. Shall we ask Soyinka what he was doing when he carried America's election on his head to the extent of threatening to tear his green card and leave? I guess he was wiping the tears from the bereaved. Did he think he loved America more than its citizens?

The people you think are intelligent in this country are actually the ones that will disappoint you the most. My advise to Soyinka is to join the group of Obasanjo and Co, men who live and thrive in infamy and continue to shove his face in our faces and embarrass himself and family till whenever. This is where he belongs now.

Kingbuhari:
this wifeless old cultist should take it easy nah... Is he eyeing Liar Mohammed ministerial portfolio ,
Any Nigerian that has known the
Yorubas or lived with them would
wonder when a Yoruba could be
trusted to mean what they say or
do what they mean or be brave
enough, this cowardice Amala and ewedu eater should cut the crab and tear his green card nah, Nigerians have known Yoruba's
shiftiness and two sided loud-
mouthing... Soyinka is a disgrace to Noble laureate

Easy to criticize but hard to take criticism. The hypocrisy of man.
