Boboye4slim: What that his seat's tag? Does it mean that Prof Soyinka didn't have seat number? I hope another seat he vet for don't belong to another passengers. NIGERIAN LEADERS DON'T OBEYS RULES OF LAW. 2 Likes |

Muttee: Well, respect they say is given to those who respect themselves. That young man would have been the biggest fool on earth if he had allowed his rights to be violated by that old arrogant man who thinks he is entitled to anything just because he is wole soyinka. 5 Likes 1 Share |

maxzzo1: Tonye Cole, that actress and their supporters are all political sycophants. In my country we were raised to respect elders, but not lawless elders. Thank God I'm not a Nigerian. |

First off, those who derailed from the message and instead turned this into a tribal war as usual, you are all STUPID. And to the mods, you all should be ashamed of yourselves too. Continue allowing such nonsense, until nairaland gradually loses its value. Every news on nairaland is always filled with tribal fools. And still nothing is being done.This is not the Nairaland I used to know way back as at 2007 I started reading. Back to the matter., if this was a British airline flight say from Heathrow to maybe the US,and a white person was assigned the window seat, will Wole Soyinka have exchanged seats and expect the so called white person to accord him the respect because he is an elderly.. You earn respect, it’s not a right? He should have waited for the guy to come then ask if he could allow him seat next to the window., it’s as simple as that. The guy did no wrong to me. And to all those who talks about value this ,and cultural that,keep dwelling on religious cultural and ethnic values while the world keeps leaving us behind. That is why Africa is still the way it is because we think prayer will always solve our issues, while the western world is advancing. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Mr Tonye Cole is a bloody hypocrite. See him pretending to have high morals. It costs the young man nothing to switch seats and Soyinka is not privileged to the seat he dint pay for. I feel the young man messed up. But please Tonye shut up, you have no moral high ground to preach what you dont practise. |

Thus is the second I'm hearing that this man took someone's seat on a flight. The first person honourably let him sit. Is it a habit or temptation? 3 Likes 1 Share |

The young ain't rude mehn! I can only label him rude if his manner of approach is out of the context, he is only fighting for his right, if I'm in his shoe then I'm gonna do the same just that I'm gonna do it with respect Cox courtesy demand we respect our elders . |

Venerable612:What that Mr Cole post was wrong. You don't use religion, tribe or culture to score cheap blackmail. This is what our politicians have been using that is why they get away with things. Respect is earned not assumed as you implied. You should have asked if any other person in that plane gave the same space the young man fought for instead of using culture as a cheap tool to score point. |

We derive joy in supporting nonsense in this country; instead of the guy to be applauded for standing for his right, some hypocrites are bashing him. I love Soyinka, I might have allowed him sit on my seat if I were in the guy's shoe; but that is me, and he is him. The young man did the right thing; people should stop intimidating others because of their influence or age. There is a reason why the seats are numbered; it doesn't matter whether it is Buhari, or even my father, people just have to play by the rules, that is how great countries come about. Imagine for a second, it was the young man who sat on Soyinka's seat. The f*cking state of the human who posted this on social media.. 2 Likes |

I don't understand why the noise, the young man got his seat assigned to him via the flight ticket..... It has nothing to do with respect. We over dramatic on this issue. It should not even make front page. Dz one no be news 3 Likes 1 Share |

sparko1: There is something called DISCRETION; the young guy decided to play by the rules without regard to SENTIMENTS; please don't begrudge him. He IS right for seeking what is his; if there was any need for those traditional sentiments, I think there wudn't have been laid-down rules, we would have resorted to those sentiments. |

Nbote: What baffled me is that Mr Cole, condemning the action of the boy. Let us assume the young man told Wole, hey sir, you are on my seat. Wole's response would have been"Sorry young man for inconveniencing you but if you permit me please, I would love to sit here". If the boy reject, he leaves the seat. Why are people begging when its not a fight. It's only a fight if Wole is attracting public sympathy and using age as a cover to steal the young man's position. 1 Like 1 Share |

If am the man, prof must stand up from that seat. We are all allocated seat on boarding the flight, No just reason for occupying someone's space. FIGHT FOR UR RIGHT, Don't allow the Cole, abudus and henshaws be the nay sayers in ur fight for ur right. |

Re: Young Man To Wole Soyinka: Leave My Seat - Tonye Cole, Mo Abudu, Kate Henshaw by Nobody: 3:27pm On Jun 24, 2019 |
Mocok7:The scriptures the young man posted was correct and best suit his argument however yours is out of context because you are circumventing it. The scriptures is clear on parent not provoking their children. The book of Ephesian where he cited gave a balance approach to how the society should run. Let me ask you this question, would you oppress a person because the scripture says honour your father? Coming to the above scriptures you quote in 2 Timothy 3:1-4, why did you pick one aspect of the verses without discussing those quoted verses?. Didn't the accused person committed the same verse you quoted? |
Re: Young Man To Wole Soyinka: Leave My Seat - Tonye Cole, Mo Abudu, Kate Henshaw by sonofElElyon: 3:29pm On Jun 24, 2019 |
Soyinka should have asked the guy's permission before sitting. I am sure the guy felt cheated. No record of Soyinka asking the guy humbly to leave him to remain on the seat.. Only of other passengers and crew members pleading with the guy.. Appears Soyinka has a feeling of entitlement.. Wrong! Muttee: |
Re: Young Man To Wole Soyinka: Leave My Seat - Tonye Cole, Mo Abudu, Kate Henshaw by LordIsaac(m): 3:30pm On Jun 24, 2019 |
Prof or no... As long as I wouldn't tell my dad to stand up under such circumstances, I wouldn't tell prof to stand too. It's not a child's play to be 80+ and still be able to move around. The guy was insensitive! It is not everything that is right that is expedient. |

asuustrike1: Exactly what I am saying. Education and western ideals is the problem here. The whole point was that He asked the man to stand up from his seat. It doesn’t matter that anyone else offered him - He asked Wole Soyinka to stand up from his seat. Again, Two things are at play. Elder & Reputation. If respect in this sense is not assumed I don’t know what else is. That’s culture - it’s got nothing to do with entitlement or civil rights! If he is Yoruba - Omo ale jati jati Niru won. He should go and ask his father to stand up from the seat because he paid for it. |

I don't know if he sat there by mistake, but if he purposely sat there, knowing fully well that the sit belongs to someone else, then he can go fvck himself, it's the so called elders that raised this fvcked up society in the first place by intensionally and purposely doing the wrong thing. 1 Like |

Juliusmalema: Only God knows what triggered you this much. Lord lugard has done what he did. Not my problem. Anyone can make a mistake, you cant tell me you've never for once made a mistake. People sit on different seats everytime on planes if there are vacant spaces. He probably felt the passenger wasnt available and when he found out he was, man respect stood up. This isn't a tribal war. Im not into that. Tribe dont make me who i am. I am human and i have sense. The way of kife evrywhere is the same. Human want the same thing. Freedom and fulfiment. Tribe is only about language and background culture. But even that can be learnt now, theres nothing special about it anymore. face your life and stop throwing petty tribal fight online. You can do better. Lets all move on |
