This is not about respecting Elders. He was assigned a seat, and if it was not convenient for him he could have stay at his seat first then negotiate with him. We take everything for granted in this country. What if it was not him? would it be news worthy. 24 Likes |

It will only be horrible if the said man insulted Wole in his approach. Else, he paid to be where he demanded for, and the last time I checked, respect has no gender or age or tribe or culture. Every human being deserves some respect. In fact, Wole disrespected the young man by sitting where he didn't pay for. 26 Likes |

Prof should have requested for a window seat, that's what I do whenever I get to the ticketing counter and my request is always granted except there are no more window seats available. Prof should have sat on the seat assigned to him on his ticket, that's what I always do to avoid embarrassment such as this 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Wole Soyinka is one of the men that introduced conFraternity in Nigeria universities and their aim is to fight against Oppression. So, why is Soyinka oppressing the young man ![]() 23 Likes 1 Share |

Apostle Joshua Selman of Koinonia once had similar encounter with Prof Soyinka too. The air hostess wanted even tell Prof Soyinka to stand up, but Apostle rebuked her that she should respect the man that he will seat on any available seat. African values is fasting fading away. Lest I forget tomorrow is Apostle Joshua Selman's birthday 1 Like |

BlackfireX: Its is very easy to identify you, how does supporting Buhari have anything to do with value system, when an old man is sitting, I don't know where you are from, you can't ask the old man to stand up. The sit might be yours, like it was assigned, if there were no sits in the plane and he was occupying yours, and you see he is an old man, the best you will do is to go to the cabin crew and report, they will sort it out. You might think, yes, because he is a yoruba man, if it was Achebi that was treated that way, what would have be your response. We as a country should be very careful, our core value system should not be viewed with politic and sentiments. 5 Likes |

Wole Soyinka messed up big time. I am really disappointed in him. Why fighting over what belongs to someone else? Or rather, why doing beggi beggi in a plane because of ordinary window seat? 15 Likes 1 Share |

I would hv loved the guy to give up the seat to wole Soyinka ,not because he's the almighty wole Soyinka but because an elderly man requested it.if it was to be another random unknown elderly man nko? Will it hv generate this kind of attention? Also all these celebs and elite their character ehn is worst than human I was a d airport sometimes last year and a young chap approach wole Soyinka for a selfie his arrogance was out of this world...yes I meant wole Soyinka .I was pissed off he didn't allow d guy d honor of a selfie under d guise of he's late to board ofwhich he still stayed on d queue to board for another 45mins...d guy felt embarrassed and did bounced away.but there n then whatever respect I hv for his person not his writing prowess evaporated.....truly those who said karma is a bitch ain't wrong anyway.typical Nigerian elite or celeb you hv there! 21 Likes |

These old men took everything from young people, the guy clearly paid for a window seat, don’t rob him blind again. This country took everything from the youths, this country is raising angry birds and it’s evident in today’s society, just see the havoc Nigerians are causing everywhere. May God bless us 13 Likes |

Prof is the one who disrespected the young man by taking the young man's seat without asking him first. He should have waited for the young man to come and then politely ask him to allow him sit at the window. I'm sure if Prof had done it this way, the young man would have let him take the seat. Prof didn't act like an educated man at all. 17 Likes |
