Soyinka Launched An ill Advised Rant On Nigerians


"Facebooking and twittering children of anger" (apologies Reuben Abati, we just couldn't help it) has pushed our beloved Wole Soyinka to the wall and he lashed out...............

Read him.

“Why do Nigerians wail louder than the bereaved? Our commonsense is totally lost. I am embarrassed sometimes that I occupy the same nation space as some imbeciles and morons.  I am planning my Wolexit, which could be internal or external," Soyinka bristled.

“Where is the arrogance coming from? What right do they have to tell me that I have no right to take a decision in a particular way? I never took orders from (the late) Sani Abacha, why should I take orders from you? Let us have a little respect and spirit of tolerance. I can decide whether to use a garden shell or scissors for my green card. What is the business of any Nigerian to challenge me on my decision? Barbarians have taken over the country using the anonymity of the Internet. They sit somewhere writing about me, questioning the right of me to express myself.”

Speaking on how he will react on Donald Trump inauguration

“On the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration, I will have a private funeral keep to mourn the death of Nigeria’s common sense. If the board agrees (because I do not like to be authoritarian) I will move the residency of my foundation out of the country"
