The events captured the lives of two great Yoruba sons and their exemplary contributions to the development of humanity
Prof. Soyinka has not only been in the public space for decades but his interventions in the global political is etched in our consciousness.
It is not uncommon in Nigeria for one ethnic group to make another ethnic group the target of ethnic slurs in form of unfavorable, derisive or disparaging jokes, sayings, or riddles. Lately, Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka (WS) has been the target of ethnic slurs, disparaging jokes with denigrative epithets hurled at him by ObidientZombies and some Igbo interpreters of maladies. WS crime was characterization of Labor Party presidential candidate Datti Ahmed’s juvenile tantrums over the results of the 2023 presidential elections as fascism.
I will chop Professor Wole Soyinka's $1000. I am ready to lead him to the underground caves where my fellow "unlettered and uncultured" people who write all the fake news about him reside. The question now is, will the Nobel Prize winner come with me?
Wole Soyinka should stop trying to adapt the world to himself. But he won't. That is what makes all stubborn grandfathers stand out.
