proprince:Do you remember he said he will give his verdict after Tinubu 1 year in office... But after Tinubu started naming things after him, he went mute. That is someone the idiot eye service OP want us to celebrate. A professor whose only impactful achievement is to introduce the youth to cultism. Someone who easily attacks other tribes, but kept mute on his even though it has been proven that they are worse off. I can't celebrate such a prof even if he is from my tribe. Tueh! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Wole Soyinka has proven, beyond doubt, that no matter how educated a person is, certain vices can never be removed from him. In his case, it's tribalism and I'm not Igbo incase you are suggesting. 5 Likes 1 Share |

kYjelly2:Tinubu really exposed the corruption, and the bigotry in many of them. Imagin the country would have been celebrating him when he his gone if not for Tinubu. Thank God, only Yoruba people will be celebrating him going Forward, and when he is gone. To think I hold him in high esteem before now... Damn! 🤦🏽♂️ People will jokingly liken me to him, I really appreciate Tinubu for exposing all the covert bigots, hiding behind Laurette. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Thiefobi1:They never claimed to have integrity, one. Not everyone who hate your professor are Igbos, two. But this is a Laurette who is supposed to be the face of the youths. I do hold him in high esteem before the who Tinubu Saga, and his senseless, uncouth media out burst, which was opposite of what he was known for when things where not this bad in Jonathan's government. Ooohh! He even promised to give his verdict on the position of Tinubu government after 1 year, so what changed now, because we haven't heard from him... The naming ceremonies after him shut him up? From your write up, I can see that you are admitting that the professor is truly corrupt, except that others attacking him are also corrupt. Dude! I hate corruption with my whole being, as far as my people are concerned, I hate them just as I hate your professor. 1 Like 1 Share |

naptu2:Whoa! That's an awesome tribute for the Godfather and respected internationalist, Professor Wole Soyinka. Soyinka who is a very fluent French speaker has done a lot in the field of international relations globally and he usually visits Cuba every year to interact with members of the Afro-Cuban and larger Cuban community within the Yoruba religion (Lucumi) and cultural space, and he related well with Fidel Castro when he was alive. It was from Professor Wole Soyinka's book, "You Must Set Forth at Dawn" that I first got to know back in the 1990s about the town of Bekuta in Jamaica's Westmoreland county where descendants of Yorubas (from among the Egba folks of Abeokuta) who moved to Jamaica from Sierra Leone in the 1800s to work as indentured workers after the plantation slavery had been abolished in all British colonial territories. Soyinka had visited Jamaica back in the 1980s and 1990s and that's how he ended up visiting Bekuta which is a named derived from Abeokuta in Nigeria. Massive 90 cannon shots for the iconic 1986 Nobel laureate! Thanks to Soyinka for adding to mankind's body of knowledge in his own unique way through satires and more. Cheers to the Godfather! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K09cs9LzAN8?si=Px54HI8gmV-XFbXT 1 Like 2 Shares |

naptu2:Happy birthday Prof Wole Soyinka! Continue to age gracefully Baba. You are an icon, a pride for Nigeria, Africa and the world at large. It's abysmally appalling that many educated ones can't distinguish the pyrate confraternity and cultism. From the Oputa panel interview, he even dissociated pyrate confraternity from cultism. Honestly, for Nigeria to be better, ethno-religious sentiment has to be excluded for objectivity and sincerity. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

NOwazobia:I'm not singing his praise because he is my tribe... But a particular tribe has decided to wage war on the Yoruba tribe.... U attacked kumuyi, Adefarasin, adeboye and others but left your igbo brothers.... Una don see mumu arbi.... U left d rigging in Abia, anambra and concentrated on lagos.... Una don see mumu arbi.... Una mind no go touch ground... U want Soyinka to come out and protest while your fathers and grandparents sit at home on Mondays 4 Likes 1 Share |

membranus: Please don't argue with that guy. You might notice that I have not responded to him. He usually posts nonsense with multiple accounts (he is using two accounts on this thread) and he knows what will happen to him very soon. He lies so much that nobody cares about his posts and he is simply looking for attention. I don't want you to be caught in the crossfire. 4 Likes 1 Share |
