BREAKING: Another Northern Reply To Soyinka by IamAtikulate: 4:29pm On Jul 10, 2023 |
EGUNGUN BE CAREFUL". (NA ILORIN YOU DEY GO) - RESPONSE OF ALHAJI L A K JIMOH TO WOLE SOYINKA. " How I wish that our response to Wole Soyinka was a bit more organized. Different groups should have been arranged to either issue Press Releases or call Press Conferences to cut him to size. You see, by titling as "Open letter to SULU GAMBARI" without the courtesy or etiquette of addressing the Emir, at least, as Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, Soyinka exposed his lack of HOME TRAINING. His references to the fatal inter-religious disharmony and hostility in Kaduna, Boko Haram and ISWAP are a calculated incitement to disrupt the age-long tranquility in Ilorin Emirate that is renowned for ethno-cultural tolerance and inter-religious harmony. Of course, nothing better could come from a man who, as an undergraduate, was a purveyor of the precursor of grisly cultism in Nigeria's educational institutions and a failed assassin in the 1960's. People like Wole Soyinka who have bequeathed to Nigeria a legacy of savage and destructive cultism should be ashamed of themselves. A man who was so notoriously intolerant of dissenting political posture as to contemplate assassination has no moral platform for sermonizing about the virtues of tolerance. Again, in his usual puffy intellectualism, even on subjects about which he knows next to nothing, Soyinka, the self-annointed MR KNOW-ALL, sarcastically boasted thus: "We know the history of Ilorin and the projectory of your dynasty --- but that's not the issue." Ilorin will gladly join issues with him (or anybody, for that matter, who wants to expose his academic ignorance and ridicule himself) on the matter. Meanwhile, Wole Soyinka should familiarize himself with the history of the following yoruba towns and the trajectory of their respective dynasties: IFE --- where ODUDUWA and his entourage usurped the land from the Ugbo people and relegated their monarch, OBATALA , to oblivion till this day; OYO ---- where ATIBA, after the destruction of OYO-ILE, seized AGOR from OJA, the owner and ruler, and renamed the place AGOR d'OYO which is the present day OYO; IBADAN --- where OYO refugees drove away the owners -- both the Egbas and the Ifes -- and drove the Egbas to as far away as Abeokuta where they settled since then; ABEOKUTA --- where fugitive EGBA, dislodged in Ibadan, seized Abeokuta from the owners -- the Itoko and Ijemo people -- and relegated them to the background till this day. OSOGBO --- where a batch of fugitives, who escaped from being taken into captivity when Ilorin destroyed Oyo-Ile, drove away the Ijesa owners of the land and turned OSOGBO to an Oyo-yoruba land till this day. MODAKEKE --- which an Ooni of Ice allotted to the batch of fugitives which did not settle at Osogbo but moved to Ife. The rest of that story is now history. Ilorin is waiting for Wole Soyinka. If those who live in glass houses choose to throw stones, they will have themselves to blame. This is the intellectual response by our elder statesman , renowned historian and community leader , Allhaji LAK Jimoh to the nebulous and caustic letter by Prof. Wole Soyinka to our revered monarch , His Royal Highness , the Emir of Ilorin .

I am also from the school of thought that thinks Soyinka exposed his lack of home training by addressing his hosts without adding Emir of ilorin to his name People should just learn to respect their hosts. I don't know what is difficult in that, if care is not taken they will deport every person from SW from Kwara state to keep the culture of the town intact. 39 Likes 5 Shares |

The fraternity that Sir Soyinka and co sowed is clearly different from what obtains today. Their goals, aspirations, ethics and ethos and things they stood and fought for were clearly different. Fraternity obtains in most tetiary institutions of the world. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I heard the Emir even insulted Wole Soyinka, and called him an old liar who loved causing problems everywhere. How can a foreigner come to someone’s land, ban their culture and insult them laidis? Agbado warriors, come out and fight. 43 Likes 5 Shares |

Hmmm Professor Wole Soyinka. This is the problem of the so called educated Proffs we have in Nigeria...Soyinka is well known for keeping quiet when he should not & speaking when it only favour his pockets. He was silent after helping to install the disaster Buhari but during the past elections he started making noise blowing big useless grammer. The Professor stand for nothing 19 Likes |

The northerners have succeeded in finally putting the last nail in the coffin Obidients built for this empty-headed professor. Now everyone knows him as a legendary liar and a man without home training. Little wonder he was very crude in addressing national issue on TV (even had to call for a debate between himself and Datti... a height of idleness).... No matter what you do, give your child proper home training. 32 Likes 1 Share |

successmatters:Talking about Fear factor. Like the way Ibo parents are currently hiding under the bed as IPOb youngsters flog the hell out of them on sit-at-home days. Just as Ondo youths flogged the Eze ndigbo in Akure and Lagosians flogged Ibo voters in Lagos. I love that kind of fear factor. 12 Likes 3 Shares |
