    The introduction gave me goosebumps. One of the most intelligent people in the world. I am honored to have presented projects to him while representing my school years ago.

    I love the way the man introducing him pronounced his full name, only in yoruba accent.

    8 years later same man is 90 years old but cannot find voice in speaking up against corruption in Nigeria. He was always critical of past heads of state but decided to play dumb when the worst of them came on board because they come from same tribe! Wole Soyinka is a disgrace to humanity!!!
    All talk no class!!!

      Oya, give us an example of a glaring corrupt practice during the Tinubu regime. Lol. Tinubu is managing so worse, but there is no case of any corruption anywhere. There is a difference btw a corrupt administration and badly managed economy.
