Wole Soyinka will always remain a genius. At his age, he is still so intellectually vigorous and sound.

This is sad and unfortunate. Social media has corroded our value system so terribly and so irreparably.

Arise is hearting up the political space with their one angle narrative. Simply

The Elephant is at peace until the lion appears( Myles Munroe). The appearance of lion-hearted leaders on the political scene in Nigeria is shaking some very big people, strong men/women or elephants that have been holding our nation captive, keeping our people in poverty, with poor infrastructures and painful destitution. No bigotry, religious divisions, ethnic sentiments, blackmail, intimidation or the clever rhetoric of well-placed men, will stop the glorious Nigeria that we desire and pray to see. The lions have appeared on the political scene, the political game will never be the same again. A great Nigeria will emerge. Baba Prof himself once said: You cannot live a normal existence if you haven't taken care of a problem that affects your life and affects the lives of others, values that you hold which in fact define your very existence. An informed generation with values has emerged!!! Nigeria is on the rise!!!!

If this is the stance of our most revered professor, despite the egregious violations of our fledgling democracy on the 25th of February 2023, including rampant impunity, oppression and intimidation, it's evident even to the visually impaired that Nigeria is unlikely to make progress anytime soon.

Ayo welcome back! Prof Soyinka, I'm a great admirer of your work. On this occassion, I find your line of criticism against Datti's statement confusing to say the least. If we find ourselves in a place where LP lose at the tribunal in the face of overwhelming evidence against APC (and it won't be the first time we will witness judicial malpractise) Nigerians will recall why Datti sounded the alarm about Judicial corruption and Nigerians will also recall these enabling criticism of yours sir, with great disappointment. We all watched and remained calm and followed process while APC unleashed terror both verbal and physical on their opposition, especially LP, Obidatti and their supporters, but yet Datti who boldly called out the corrupt system is the fascist? Let's hope these visceral criticisms of yours, specifically about Datti, do not cause a black cloud on an otherwise brilliant career.

I think the learned Prof has a point. He is simply asking for caution. Choice of words of Datti might be harsh but he has equally made his point. He is simply asking for caution too. APC led government is simply asking for action.

Yet he kept quiet about MC Oluomo, FFK, the emergency Oro festivals, etc. It’s a bit about tribe, but mostly about corn. Pa Soyinka (WS) has been corn-promised and corn-fused. Bola Thiefnubu (BT) has been giving WS "agbado" since NADECO days. Soyinka said so himself on video. WS is now nothing more than a mouthpiece of BT - grand-master of corruption, thuggery, electoral manipulation & do-or-die politics. The fact that BT could buy a man as self-righteous as WS is an indication of how bottomless BT's pocket has become since BT started fleecing Lagos decades ago. The man has finally died in WS.

I greatly appreciate Prof Soyinka for coming out clearly to condemn the inflammatory statement by Dhatti Ahmed regarding the swearing-in of the president-elect. Anyone who has been following the prof thoughts for years will realise that you can not buy him to support an unworthy course no matter how you paint it. The problem with certain people or segment of Nigeria is their lack of how democracy works as no amount of rhetoric can get you to Aso rock. We must be willing to accept failure when it comes and planned ahead through an effective collaborative effort. Again thank you Prof Sotinka for coming out to call a spade a spade.

The last statement was epic.
