DahMandela: RIP GEN. DIPO DIYA
As a young boy through 1990s I read his story with much empathy with his allegation of coup d'etat, arrest,trial and incarceration in the hands of the then "Alápatà of Àpáta"(Butcherman of Aso Rock) as uncle Wole Soyinka would have pictorially put it to...

Compassion is the DNA of humanity.

ikhide: Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe’s generation was quite distinguished and brilliant. But they did not scale up the institutions and structures they inherited from the white man. Instead, they became mimic colonialists, bragging about their cars and the antics of their help. That…
TO_Ayanfe: Wole Soyinka spent months in jail and was almost killed because he supported Biafra.
Ask them to point to just one Igbo man who has committed his life to any Yoruba course like those men.
None, yet the Yoruba are the bigots.

brotherbarth: Please, I hope Prof. Wole Soyinka is well. With all that's been brewing in Nigeria, his voice hasn't been heard.
Ralu_chukwu: Permit me to ask, where is the good Prof. Wole Soyinka's voice?
First I must inquire, I hope he is healthy?
He has rather been very silent throughout BuBu's 8years sojourn perfectly ruining what's left of what was a nation.
He was quite vociferous when Uncle Jona was in the block
VictoryAshaka: The doyen in the world of literature is at the threshold of a new age and I join the world to wish Prof Wole Soyinka a Fabulous Birthday. Also, it’s my sincere pleasure to serve as the Moderator for this year’s Advocacy session of Wole Soyinka International Cultural Exchange.

Olufisiayo: You're most likely older than Wole Soyinka when he started activism. Man is 88 now, but you have insulted his intelligence with this emotional tweet, also comments have called him all sorts & lumped him with cretins.
These are the own goals we speak about, but do you.

TENIBEGILOJU202: D likes of Wole Soyinka, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, Ooni of Ife and other notable Yoruba leaders, let it b on record that u lost ur voice while Tinubu and Sanwo Olu thugs were killing d Igbos in Lag just to win elections. Except 4 OBJ and Pa Adebanjo,d rest of u don't deserve my respect.
MarkOsuchukwu: Prof Wole Soyinka have been disturbingly quiet. As a scholar and intellectual of his caliber, the least he owes the people who grew up reading him is to follow up this detrimental election in Nigeria's history with his writing and scholarly nuance.
slimTeeIX: Leave Wole Soyinka out of your mouth!
Many of us were not born, many of us were kids when this man did his bit.
Went to prison, went on exile, all while fighting the good fight!
Y'all learn to be a bit intelligent with your assertions.
TheSonOfGeorge: What do you mean "these are very intelligent men"?
Wole Soyinka, I can agree. But Seun Kuti and Brymo? What's your measure of intelligence? Smoking weed and talking about emancipation?
TomiwaTegbe: Brymo and Seun Kuti in the same sentence as Wole Soyinka is even one of the wildest things Twitter ever allowed to be twote
Glazerxx: Please leave Wole Soyinka out of it. He shouldn’t rest in his old age? If you people have refused to have sense then so be it. He has spent all his life fighting. Let his family enjoy him I beg.
CyprianKendo: Does anyone know the true identity of the person behind Chimaraoke Nnamani’s handle and why the person is being paid to write like Wole Soyinka’s Lakunle in The Lion and the Jewel? Like an entitled child increasingly deprived of bress…
_bigSnek: Brymo Seun kuti and Wole Soyinka I stopped reading the tweet there because...
Olufisiayo: Wole Soyinka wasn't arrested in '67 & bounced between 2 prisons & eventually ended in solitary confinement in Kaduna for speaking truth to power & visiting Biafra 2ce for you to lump him with Brymo & Seun Kuti as bigots in 2023 at 88yrs old.
You guys never learn. Actually
AdejoroDaniel: Wole Soyinka did not write poems on tissue while spending 22 months in solitary confinement and spend years in exile for you to rope him in the same conversation with Brymo and Seun.
We’re angry yes, but direct the rage accordingly.
Hitee_: If you still need an 80-yr old Wole Soyinka that has been fighting against injustice all his life to speak for you, then you’re not ready
Deshysmalls: If Wole Soyinka na your Papa, you go talk say make he dey do aluta at 80?
DJDamiger: From Obafemi Awolowo to Fela to Wole Soyinka to MKO - Gani Fawehimi all the way to MC Oluomo
The__Vyrus: Brymo; QUIET!
Seun Kuti; QUIET!
Wole Soyinka; QUIET!
These are very intelligent men who are Pan-Africanists or so they say.
Fighting for the liberation and unity of the black race. My role models I dare to say, Love them to bits.
