I did not know that Wole Soyinka has power to retaliate on Gowon. Even if he has, he is too graceful. He took too many risks. Especially standing up for Ojukwu. He has since been called a traitor. His grandkids are calling on him to fight for them now while they are busy with their soother, iPhone. 85 Likes 3 Shares |

I saw a tvc interview where Soyinka said he had told Gowon after his release from prison that had places been traded, he (as commander in chief) would have put Gowon (a troublemaker) in jail earlier than Gowon put him (Soyinka) in jail. Pure class! Soyinka also confirmed that Ojukwu told him in clear terms that he bore no grudge, and had never said anything untoward against Awolowo as he understood that each party had acted in the best interest of their own people. These 2 clarifications suggests that these gladiators of old were far more mature, and pragmatic than the hot blooded youths of today who are mostly driven by weak sentiments and raw emotions.

hollah123:I don't expect such level of ignorance to be expressed by one of the most productive tribe in Nigeria. The problem is they don't have a single reason to insult that man, you can do me a favour by asking them for a reason why he said that. I'm very sure the only thing he will say is; Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said.... They have never gone back to check history. 16 Likes |
