The truth is Wole Soyinka has done his best as far as activism in Nigeria is concerned. The baton is now on our hands- we Nigerian youths!. However, I believe it would've been better for him to stay out of partisan politics and just remain neutral. That way he could speak up no matter who's ox is gored. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Soyinka shamelessly supported Buhari's candidacy and is now so ashamed to criticise him. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

The man is tired of making noise about inept leadership in Nigeria. Moreover, he is old, he would like to die in his house peacefully and not in prison. he is aware of Bubu antecedent in power. After all is Nigeria worth dying for? 1 Like |

I don't even care if he has been compromised or not. At 82 years, I'm surprised you still expect him to be making noise on your behalf. If your grandparents or parents are alive, how come you're not pressing them to do the same. It's a man that has spent his youth, his adulthood and even a chunk of his old age speaking on your behalf that you're still waiting for to still do so. Be there o. Keep waiting. Even after he dies, you can keep waiting for him to come back to fight your battles. Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Smh. The ignorance and immorality in this country is infectious. So, Soyinka's already paid the price for truth and should be commended for his Silence? Wow. The ignorance on this thread in sickening. So can I say the man has died in him? 4 Likes |

The article epitomizes clarity in mind of the writer as you have clearly expressed your well researched and articulated thoughts,i tutored under Tai Solarin...My entire family had a 15 years training under him..but would Tai solarin look at Wole Soyinka,Adams Oshiomole and the likes a fellow comrade of then today and be proud of their divisive stands on national issues as they face the nation.. Don't get me wrong i think by all standards as a light bearer for the next generation i have a personal advice for my generation stay away from politicians..They suck..you would end up compromising on what you would previously fight against destroying your conscience at the expense of your stand.The Soyinka of today isn't the Soyina i knew of as a kid..as a matter of fact when i read the Soyonka and the likes of Tunde Bakare write today and i read articles from people like Dr. Ganiyu Adams..it is clear whom education has benefited the most..Ganiyu Adams of with an assumed lower education standards excel in thoughts and wisdom that the so called democratic fighters as they brand themselves..i urge this generation to listen to people like Dr. Tokunbo Pearse Engr Tunji Olurin adviser in the OBJ'S cabinet and make your assessment if we aren't qualifying the likes of Soyinka by their past achievements..God help us all... 3 Likes |

Soyinka is silent because he can't believe that a mere illiterate (Buhari) fooled Him. Just like Awo, Soyinka who knew the truth , went against it when it matters most. Soyinka should just quietly apologize to Nigerians and warn his sophisticated people never to repeat the same mistake 2 Likes |
