SmartPolician:Akunyili's death really shocked me. May her soul rest in PERFECT PEACE. May those who killed her husband never know peace all the days of their lives. May they see evil spirits everyday in reality. May their death be gory. May their souls be haunted every second by the deadliest of demons. 1 Like |

BombAttack:Munmun ,honourary PhD, wey MC oluomo dey get. She is neither a Phd holder, a professor or a researcher. She has no single scholarly article, everything na tales by moonlight. She will need to commit half of her life to rigorous academic work before achieving one foot of Wole Soyinka.Na one young medical doctor finished are two days ago with a lovely article, and not a technically poor, bigot letter to Biden. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Electorate:Guy, a small snipet below. If I make a full list on this man, it will be 10 pages which is worthless. In Nigeria, Soyinka was a Professor of Comparative literature (1975 to 1999) at the Obafemi Awolowo University, then called the University of Ifẹ̀.[13] With civilian rule restored to Nigeria in 1999, he was made professor emeritus.[9] While in the United States, he first taught at Cornell University as Goldwin Smith professor for African Studies and Theatre Arts from 1988 to 1991[14][15] and then at Emory University, where in 1996 he was appointed Robert W. Woodruff Professor of the Arts. Soyinka has been a Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and has served as scholar-in-residence at NYU's Institute of African American Affairs and at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California.[9][16] He has also taught at the universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard and Yale.[17][18] Soyinka was also a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at Duke University in 2008.[19] 1 Like |

Cooly100: The W. E. B. Du Bois Medal is Harvard's highest honor in the field of African and African American studies. It is not the highest honor in Harvard. Get your facts right. Soyinka is the only Nigerian writer with a honorary doctorate from Harvard. He has also taught in Harvard and Oxford. Even Achebe could only teach in an American college, Bard College.

Olowosaudi:When Nigeria's debt was cancelled by Paris club , was it a fulani man that worked it out?? Another fulani man has amassed debt that will chock the next administration. Sanusi is a sound man and also a fulani. So they are brilliant ones like him. That is advising the foolish ones but they are not listening. Things has changed. All Sanusi predictions are coming to pass. Look before they underestimated Peter Obi, now see what happened. He won the election without giving shishi to any body. That's what we call wisdom and character. Things has changed. The Western nations are working hard to change thier economy to a knowledge based economy, look at us we are mocking those with academic qualifications. You see oil Nigeria is depending on is failing globally. |
