WOLE Soyinka's Diatribe: A Rejoinder by chilan: 1:19pm On Dec 06, 2016 |
Sometimes it is good to have a taste of the dish you serve others. This is one of the few world nobel laureates that veered off from their primary profession into national politics aligning himself with popular social crusades and criticizing successive Nigerian governments since late 70's. He has advocated for freedom of the press and people's liberty and rights of expression yet could not take in calmly, popular calls coming from people for him to honour his promise of tearing his US green card if Donald Trump wins the US presidential election. We know it does not lie justifiably on anybody’s mouth to force the man to fulfill his promise of tearing his US green card especially when that statement should ordinarily have been taken as one of those campaign stunts that politicians and their associates pull to win elections; however Mr. Soyinka's abrasive reactions to these innocuous calls from the social media seem to have sold him out as an intolerant and abusive fellow and one who not only lacks the essential pedigree of a social crusader but also the moral right to further criticize other men's actions. |
