Lol, this guy is unaware that if global war breaks out today and there are a few planes to save some people, they will put Soyinka, even at 90, in plane ahead of anyone in his clan or tribe, ahead of Obi, ahead of Achebe—no disrepect meant. Lol, such is the might of being relevant and creating value. No be to dey do cho cho cho.

Look fella, work hard in your life to hit that level. Contribute to mother earth such that your existence will remain indelible dead or alive
So his life is more important than yours? Chai! cheesy cheesy
The masses are incredibly stupid sha!! cheesy cheesy

Şțvpïð people full this country, no doubt. When it comes to leadership positions, you all clamour for youths to take charge, but when it comes to fighting for "your rights" you suddenly remember the old generation to take the lead. Soyinka won't make any assessment nor lead any protest against Tinubu like some sore losers have been wailing about, you can all go and ðïẽ! 😎


Not everyone has useless people as elders

Look fella, work hard in your life to hit that level. Contribute to mother earth such that your existence will remain indelible dead or alive. Only then, you might even go to call Soyinka names and people would bat an eye. Did you see Chimamanda attempting to attack Soyinka, and how it didn't even fly nor got off the ground? That shows it would take a huge lot more than just a writer who rode to success majorly by taking advantage of the populace orientation on same-sex marriage and weaponinzing feminism to bring down not only a global academic icon, who is recognized with Noble Prize for his all-encompassing and impactful works in literature and still proffers values even at 90, but also dedicate his life for the liberation and of the less privilege, like the Igbos during the Biafran war such that he went to jail 20+ months; or the oppressed, like the fight for democracy against the tyrannical Abacha.

And the Academy of Arts and Goverment of Morocco would not have celebrated him too abi?


IrepChrist:
The proff is well respected for his contributions to literature and the intellectual body in Nigeria. He has achieved so much and put the nation on the map.

But truth be told. We must stop the game of relevance by association in Nigeria. If he had been vocal against the odds of this APC government he won't receive such honor.

All I see hear is eye service and a reward not to his patriotism but his questionable alignment with the government of the day.


I will only speak the truth I know

Jesus loves you ❤️

grin And you failed to mention yourself... I guess you belonged to the people to that would be left behind
Lol, what have I contributed to the world at the moment? You think it's by emotion. Lol. Anyway, I'm on the path to etching my own name too. It's completely different from the field of literature though, that's not even my path. I'll try to give my quota to science and liberate some so much maybe my name may go into the annals of history. However, I would definitely never be found bringing down important and valuable people like Soyinka or doing needless cho cho cho, throughout my life. Peace
