Soyinka like E. A. Adeboye, MKO & Awolowo is a thief.

You hold too much of hatred in your heart bro,don’t let it consume your soul 🥹. Say whatever you feel to anyone but you see when it comes to those who are men of God, leave their judgement to the very one who called them. May His grace shine upon you 🙏✌️

Judolisco:
He protested against Jonathan's government and he has been protesting since 1967, now he is 90 yrs old and u want him to still come out and protest.... Wetin do your grandfather and father, why uno ask them make dem comut protest arbi no be d same right Soyinka and your grandpapa get?

Please lets leave sentiments out of this Sir. no one said he should go and protest. the OP simply said he should keep his promise of assessing Tinubu's government. why does that trigger you so badly? lets learn to hold our leaders and elders accountable to their word.

Tinubu also promised to leave Nigeria better than he found it. if he fails should we also keep silent simply because he's elderly?

I appreciate Soyinka as much as the next man for all he's done for the country but let's be realistic.

A clueless old cultist that has lost every sense of respect he has

Peter Obi matter is still his very concern and not what the government of Tinubu brought on the good people of the country. Hypocritical human being is that Prof.

A clueless nepotic old cultist that has lost every sense of respect he has

Old fool and cultist

Wole Soyinka is a disgrace to whatever respect he held dear. An hypocritical person who has shown that he’s just as crooked as they come.

There is nothing selective; the Obedient are tribalists. All I heard from Igbo online were insults against Yoruba, Fulani and Hausa. That Igbo's own Lagos, and so many insults.

You can't expect the people that you insult to back your Igbo presidential candidate.

I despise Tinubu and all that he stands for, but I will not support an arrogant Igbo candidate.

You are still towing on the path of selective method of judgement. When you talk of raining insults, the three major tribes in Nigeria have erred in that regard including you in particular.

It's important you understand one thing about Obidientship, it's not an Igbo movement, rather a movement for all Nigerians who are tired of leadership failure over the years in our beloved country. In case you want to argue, you can ask Pa Adebanjo, Olusegun Obasanjo and many other prominent Yorubas within and outside Nigeria what Obedientiship constitutes.

You and I know too well that if APC had produced the likes Prof. Osibanjo or other sound products from Yoruba land, maybe Obedient movement wouldn't have gone too far. The hardship Tinubu brought in the land was well predicted and that was why sound-minded and detrabalized Nigerians kicked against his candidacy not because of tribe. Please let's put issues in the right context. This is nothing but the common truth. In this country, the masses love themselves. In my own family I can't count how many of my brothers whose wives are Yorubas including myself.

How can a country with over 230 million population, endowed with so many smart thinkers and intellectuals, and it's character like Tinubu that emerged as president? You know that something is definitely wrong with our system. This is almost like an abomination.

Let's see things beyond our regional boundaries...

But when he was above 80 he protested against Jonathan. Why are you guys being hypocritical here

santaclaws:
He doesn't have to assess the president. If Tinubu doesn't perform well, vote him out in 2027.

Why didn't you say this during GEJ's time when he was assessing him?

RenaissanceGuy:
Even if he decides to embark on a protest or make scathing remarks about Tinubu govt today, you people will still mock him and say he was the one that singlehandedly made Tinubu president. So, it's useless.

stop the eye service and hypocritical excuses.

Kaycee9242:


So now that his tribesman is there he has become too old to write about this administration from his house, but he is very young to attack oppositions. We all have seen you guys nyash

Yoruba people amd double standard are like 5 & 6. He has the energy to attack Peter Obi but doesn't have the strength to access a government as he promised.

If the most educated person in the region behaves this way you can imagine other low fools from there especially the one on nl

mrvitalis:

He was over 80 when he attacked Jonathan's government... 80 is young abi?

Even at 90 he's attacking Peter Obi who's not even in government

sekundosekundo:


I can only hold my father accountable based on his promises. My father never promised to assess Tinubu's government after one year.

Then what business have you with another person's father who promised to assess. Na you send am. Your father is nobody, that's you look up to another man to lead the way for you.

You wan protest, you shit scared to hit the street

Bitterkola100:
please can you tell me what he did to make you term him as tribalist?

He promised to talk after one year of Tinubu's regime. This is more than a year and he has not said a word.

Tribalism and religion have destroyed Nigeria totally.


People see black and call it white.

So far so good might likely be his reasonable assessment. With the hurricane changes that Tinubu made, it is very difficult to truly assess him. His ministers have not even spent a year. Which of you would love to be thrown out of school or failed before a year or in a year, yet school is the cradle of assessment.
Certainly, he (Tinubu) has made mistakes, like he said that he would. He has also made good moves and gains. We are not where we want and not moving at the pace that we want. But we seem to be moving to where we want. We'll see better in a year.

In addition, Tinubu remains a beter choice than those disasters that lost to him in the last year elections.

Anyone who can boldly support Buhari for eight damned years certainly have the IQ of a domestic 🐈 cat!

Like we're you expecting a cultist and harbinger of death to Nigerian youths to have Honor? Common una too dey believe old 🤡 Sha!

My father told me, any man who can insult the wife of another man in a tirade of words is shameless and I should have nothing to do with such person!

That's why, people like Dino Melaye are scvms....who has no shame or honor. Beside showing off cars oyibo dey take do delivery, which other thing he Sabi?

Beside romancing crook politicians and promising them validation which other one the old cultist Sabi?

He didn't mention year, he just said after one year, it could be it could be in 2030

Judolisco:
how is he an hypocrite, what was d timeline in which he started to attack Jonathan's government? Why r elders from your place not attacking d government...I'm not against protesting, but why ask your grandfather's agemate to come out and protest?

He was in his 80s when he attacked GEJ's government, so why is his tongue tied now? This is the question you have failed to answer.

greenermodels:
Soyinka destroyed his reputation for the sake of tribalism and personal gain, it's a pity.

Who cares about headless mob view. Yes, daddy, it is a religious war

Chai Fear God my brother, Fear God and stop this eye service. which good moves has he made, and the economy is sinking with speed? This level of hypocrisy is an abomination, you said the other who are disasters, so what is happening here now is not a disaster right? Haaaa!!!! even in the bible God hates a lying tongue.

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.

He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.

“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.

“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
