Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has told President Muhammadu Buhari that he cannot honour MKO Abiola in one breath and admire his tormentor Sani Abacha in the same breath.
Soyinka who spoke at the national honours investiture for heroes of democracy., said that although he understood Buhari’s official loyalty to Abacha, it shouldn’t take preeminence over the preservation of democracy.
“Dear Mr. President, you cannot honour Abiola in one breath and admire his tormentor in the same breath,” he said.Soyinka added that while the heroes of democracy were being recognized, the anti-democrats deserved some mention too.

Now u are talking,prof

hmmm. a sage has spoken.
men with critical and unbias views.
no sugar coating, no melodrama.

ride on, ride on, we are washing you from the high plazez.

ABACHA AND BUHARI ARE FROM THE SAME FULANI REPUBLIC

Day after day, Wole Soyinka squanders immense goodwill acquired over a life time. His presence in Aso Rock is a continuation of his endorsement of Buhari. It never occured to me that Soyinka would do this much harm to his own legacy.

He is a typical senseless Fulani man nah

wonlasewonimi:
Do you think Buhari knows what he is doing?

He doesn't o!

I'm sure Tinubu and co impressed it on him to recognize MKO if he wants a second taste of the presidency.

wonlasewonimi:
Do you think Buhari knows what he is doing?

More like he's being coerced
Again no Fulani man can uphold another tribe more than his townsman,.
Check out the way the Fulani cattle rearers's killer squad were being treated

Soyinka is simply intellectually lazy but he is not aggressive idiotic pig of biafra.

Buhari never admire abacha,
He only told us the obvious bitter truth, that, as bad as abacha, as even the devil knows, is still far better than thief obj and ineffectual buffoon, that in 16yrs, both thieves never built roads like abacha did.

Is that difficult for intellectually lazy Soyinka to understand?

swimmer:
i respect Soyinka....very bold and principled.


it takes guts to say this to Buhair at a national function where he was seated...

Buhari knows how to manipulate the Yorubas

And that exactly he has done

Video or I don’t believe this fake news

IamAirforce1:
Buhari knows how to manipulate the Yorubas

And that exactly he has done

yes you are right , that manipulating got the Yorubas incentive in Buahri’s government... that is what matters ... it’s called game of politics

Topleague:
soyinka didnt say that, in fact he was present during the ceremony, ipob with their fake news

Please show us a photoshopped evidence

Wetin concern you??

Dumdumfashion:
This move is just to buy the yorubas not out of respect for MKO

He bought dem already, the Fulanis have a master plan how to manipulate the SW.

Don't be deceived all these stunts you are seeing, the move to declare June 12 all are script written by the producers.... Baba himself can't fathom it out... Unseen hands behind him.

Topleague:

Did you read the above at all? He was invited and spoke at the event......

This have always been my position.

Buhari is just messing with Yoruba brains. He was one of the privilege d Generals who usually go to flog Abiola in prison and make a caricature of him.

It's a pity how Yoruba claim to 'sophisticated' but can't discern that Buhari is simply pressing their 'mumu button' because of election.

Very emotional bunch. Tufia!

Wch type of TV did u watch it on ma? And hope it's audio is working coz it can't be working well and u listened and wouldn't have heard it being said by Soyinka himself. Thank God u agreed that Soyinka was present, atleast u were able to see him on your TV!

It's obvious Buhari doesn't understand the words that comes out his mouth or the things he appends his signature to because the way they are always so self contradictory calls for concerns.

I'm pretty sure he never understood any of what his campaign promises meant, that's why he entered power to do the complete opposite.


Every young person who voted in Buhari shouldn't be allowed to procreate. They shouldn't pass on their stupidity to the next generation.

Bsc Normadic herdship is the only thing in his head. He discharges it laiwowe.

Medicine after Death: Those who detained and killed Abiola are now rewarding him that Yorubas may reward them with their vote in 2019

The question most people are asking is, when will Yorubas get smart and stop allowing themselves to be used and disposed of like toilet paper by the North? Some people may call it hate speech but I think it's time the Yoruba race wake up. The North continues to enslave and conquer Yorubaland and it's people for political crumbs. From Awolowo becoming Vice President to Gowon during the war which purchased Yoruba support against Biafra that he Awolowo had initially supported in the agreement he reached with Ojukwu prior to his release from a prison in Calabar.

The most bizarre part is that it was the same core Arewa North that jailed Awolowo. An Igbo man, Nzeogwu, led a coup that it's sole aim was to release Awolowo from prison and install him as the Prime Minister of Nigeria. It was another man, Ojukwu, that eventually released Awolowo from prison but upon his release, Awolowo went back to North and superintended the second worst genocide in human history.

The same thing happened with Obasanjo's civilian presidency, which again was another move by the Fulani caliphate to assuage the Yoruba people after annulling June 12 and killing Abiola. This pattern has always been at play in the relationship between the core North and Yorubas for centuries. Look at what Fulanis did to Yorubas in Illorin where Afonja, a Yoruba prince was temporarily made the political head of the invading Fulani Islamic army to get him to turn against his fellow Yorubas. At the end of the campaign Afonja was killed by the Fulanis and his land converted to Fulani emirate.

That conquest that was made possible by Fulani political inducement spread all the way to Atlantic Ocean in Lagos. That Islam virtually dominate all Yoruba towns and villages was as a result of the mistake one Yoruba man made. They are repeating the same mistakes today. Illorin and wider Kwara State is a fully fledged Fulani Emirate with no Oba in sight and shall remain so forever. A Yoruba Oba will never sit on the royal throne in Illorin again. Illorin throne has become the exclusive prerogative of the Fulanis. This unfortunate outcome and national disgrace was made possible because a Yoruba man accepted what appeared on the face of it an exalted political position not knowing it was a Trojan horse.

Yorubas are learned, cosmopolitan and urbane. Surely they have enough intelligent people in their ranks to understand the damaging effect these periodic politically motivated inducement from the North can be in the long run. Unless perhaps their well concealed hatred towards Igbos, driven purely by envy, outweigh whatever consequence or humiliation they are likely to suffer at the hands of their Fulani masters.

Again, this confusion was apparent when in exchange for the empty title of APC National Leader and few ministerial appointments, Yorubas returned into power what will go down as the worst regime in living memory. That mere posthumous elevation of Abiola to a GCFR is sufficient to erase the horrors of this Buhari regime in the minds of Yorubas speaks volumes about their political priorities. Maybe Yorubas doesn't want any positive change in Nigeria after all but merely using their clamour for structural changes within the system to advance a purely parochial agenda of self preservation at the expense of collective well being of all ethnicities in Nigeria.

It won't be misplaced to infer that such euphoria exhibited by Yorubas at mere pronouncement of a post hummus award for their illustrious son may portray them as confused to the point of not knowing exactly what they want. The feeling one gets is that wherever the wind of political expediency pushes them, they go. These are hardly the attitude of a people that have a principled commitment to a change that will be of benefit to all.

The Yoruba race possess enough brave and outspoken intellectuals but unfortunately the impression one gets is an absence of mental toughness and ideological consistency needed to break the debilitating and damaging influence the North exert over them. Today they are rightfully clamoring for a return to regional arrangement, the next they are threatening to unleash Oduduwa Republic, but all the while the North continues to make a complete mess of their long term strategic interests.

SOME YORUBAS WHO ARE WISE AND SMART ENOUGH TO READ BETWEEN THE LINE WILL UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF THIS POST!
