Soyinka was quick to condemn Datti's statement but couldn't see anything wrong with what Bayo Onanuga, FFK and MC Oluomo said. Quite shameful and disgusting
Bcos he did not support their candidate in d first instance , y shud he caution them. His only cautioning Datti bcos he is interested in their movement. (Yoruba adage says ọmọ ti baba be feran lo ma n bawi.)
Also a lie if you had done a little bit of research or listened outside your preferred channel/echo chamber, you'll have heard in the interview he did on Channels Tv he criticising FFk specifically as well as all other political "spokes person". Datti's words were very condemnable and you people need to be truthful to yourselves and love Nigeria enough to say it! Otherwise you're just as dangerous or even worse than the people you swear to hate
Absolutely 💯
People failed to understand what datti said
Very disgusting indeed!
This AYo woman is very intelligent and decisive in her questions
She is learning from the maestro himself Mr Rufai
Very intelligent lady
Very intelligent
You understood quite well, Soyinka just shows who he is he can not pretend, hypocrites !
@@chiemelaodemela1744 exactly! Elites will always support their elites no matter what? This is the time we need to reject all of them.
Super happy to see Ayo. Just as fearless as Rufai. The true definition of Journalism. Arise Tv is the only reason I believe in the media
Can you define the meaning of Journalism?

Because its supports your candidate you lots will be alright 😅.
Arise TV is a Labour Party tv
@@tomiakinwale1027 Peter obi news..Later they paint the same bigotry brush with TVC news you all are the same you have your candidate which is not suppose to be like that
Prof joined people to protest against Jonathan, Jonathan didn't do 1/10 of what Buhari and APC have done in this election. He has lost what it is to call out Datti what Datti said was the hard truth and had to be said by someone. You can't swear in someone who hasn't met the constitutional requirements even after breaching the electoral act as drafted by INEC themselves. Where is the equity where is justice. Datti did not threaten anybody he only said what had to be said
He’s born again 😊
It is pathetic. Soyinka (WS) is now nothing more than a mouthpiece of Bola Thiefnubu (BT) - the grand-master of corruption and political murder in Nigeria. The fact that BT could buy the conscience of a man as self-righteous as WS is an indication of how bottomless BT's pocket has become since the man started fleecing Lagos several decades ago. The man has finally died in WS. It is a pity.
I think Prof is making a reference to the statement that Datti said regarding the Chief Justice not inaugurating the president elect and alluding it to military take over.
@@busayoeniola8943 but Datti is right, the constitution was written in consonants with the judiciary, it's their Bible if I may put it that way. Anything asides whats in that document should not be allowed. They shouldn't swear in anyone till all cases has been decided. Kenya did theirs in 14days, Ghana in 30days. What if the courts takes Tinubu out , so all that money on inauguration gone, tax payers sweat wasted. Common let's be serious in this country. I agree with Datti if you are swearing in someone whose election did not meet the constitution requirements that's military way, it's simple.
With due respect prof...i want see a video clip where you condemned Ononuga ,Mc Oluomo, FFK and the rest of them who openly threatened voters and actually stopped them from voting!
An institution that can be bribed. An institution that has been known to side with untruth. Datti was right in everything he said that day!
I don’t agree with you, he should’ve been soft and political in answering those questions and not to be infertic.
@@nwachukwu54 alpt of politician have been saying alot of things, this one doesn't even near what they have said. So why is this news?
🎉😅
List the states that Obi won that made him win election. Also list the number of state governors he won since he had party members that won those states for him. Igbos needs to huriedly learn politics otherwise the future of the south east is dark. People sit at home and think they can win election in naija by cursing people online. Shame!
@@nwachukwu54 108i
Wole Soyinka will always remain a genius. At his age, he is still so intellectually vigorous and sound. Nigerians listening and commenting should learn to respect people's right to have their own views. People on this platform are using abusive language on this living icon simply for speaking his mind. This is sad and unfortunate. Social media has corroded our value system so terribly and so irreparably. I hope one day we will all learn to accept that we are different, and we think differently, and we must respect people's right to have opinions that are different from ours.
Then, Prof. Soyinka should have respected Sen. Datti's personal views as well! Calling Sen. Datti's views "fascist" is petty and mischievous. Obviously, Prof. Soyinka is for a Tinubu Presidency. That is his right to choose. But, he MUST also allow Sen. Datti the right to oppose that his choice.
God bless you Okoli… only your comment is worth reading and applauded here
@@obiemereuwaonu1928 he was not opposed to Datti having a different opinion. However, you cannot use such freedom to threaten our democracy or foist your jaundiced understanding of the law to threaten the judiciary to preempt the outcome of the election petition or call on the CJN and Buhari not to inaugurate Tinubu as president on May 29. That is nothing but fascism!
we don't have elders in Nigeria, what we have is worn out men ,truth is far from them
No lie
They are first class b*stards.
Wọlé Soyinka is an elder statesman of the highest order
At this point , Mr Macaroni and Falz are doing a better job at being Statesmen than Kongi.. law of diminishing returns has set the in.
One thing I learned with you guys as long as it did not come in your favor then it is nothing to you
Soyinka should be condemning the rigging of the elections and not the verbal response to it.
If he does OBI is just as guilty
How can he do that when he supports the wrong party
that's the basis of my question in the first place, not that I could ever put down Soyinka that I have so much respect for
Abi? The man is confused.
@@MrILES-gu3xbProvide proof in court if you have any not just some vague statement & proofs you just said.
Ayo is now showing us her true color 😮. This is what endeared us to Rufai 😅. We love you Ayo.
The prof was part of people that cheered Buhari years ago. Now the country is upside down he's not honest with himself.
Thank you Ayo for seeking for clarification on his condemnation of Datti statement.
And I am surprised at his judgement, because all what Datti said 'is letting this INEC president elect assume office is the same thing as military taking over'. Considering how this election was conducted and how the so called winner was announced @ 2am confirms the opinion of Datti.
I and highly disappointed at professor Soyinka
U re only disappointed in ur self. What the old man has passed through in life, the experience of both military and civilian govts, u don't have 1% of such. Datti statement is so treasonable and should be condemned. So his statement suite ur gut, it show d kind of supporters LP have. We all saw what happened in U.S following Trump statement and the outcome of his statement, now he is facing criminal charges.
Am very disappointed by this useless old professor who can not simply say the truth. He's very corrupt too. I remember he looted the treasury of road safety commission and I can see the old system in him. If you listen to him carefully, there's nothing tangible he said. He's sitting there talking nonsense
He's just talking nonsense and pretend not hearing her questions
Can you see that he's lying. That wasn't the question. He said that the chief justice should not swear in criminal tinubu as president as he hasn't met with the constitutional requirements. Old man with lying lip
In as much as the proff supports ObiDatti candidacy, Datti should have followed Obi's steps by moderating his utterances. This is exactly what Wole is saying. Datti made a mistake. Let's be objective.
This election has revealed alot about some people I used to respect
It has Indeed!!

This Prof analysis falls below my expectation from a man like this. No straight answer to any of the questions asked by Ayo. If am to rate this interview, I give it half ⭐.
This prof speaking against Dattis interview when the court hasn't reprimanded Datti for detecting to the court.
My brother the biggest problem in our countries are the educated ones who are easily bought …Professor Wale Soyinka ..Professor Yakubu … and others who colluded to rig the 2023 election

@@demolaayorinde3599 This is what you always say to delude your younger ones with your illusions
Because u Hav predetermined assumptions
Ayo is our second Rufai! We love you Sister for your fearlessness. Up higher Arise TV!!!
This Wole Soyinka is a joke and should😊 return Tinubu's money for PR clean up. He keeps trying to remind us who he is and almost threatening Datti about Utterance while reminding him about Trump. This man should go back to Dubai and continue his teaching of English, his time has passed and he currently has no value whatsoever to Nigerian youths.
He is part of the elitist and classism problems in Nigeria.
I want to know the measurable value he adds to Nigeria.
ARISE should consider using a text-based interface to chat with its online guests. It's okay even if it only transmits the interviewer's question to the guest. It may not be needed all the time, but will come in handy when the direct audio interchange is poor as in this interview.
While the guest is talking, a new question gets typed up, then sent, while the same question is being voiced out.
This is a veeeeery brilliant take home. I ain't Obedient and i ain't Arise TV as well but this is a damn good way forward. God bless and add to ur brilliance
Nice thing. Although it might not be as easy to comprehend and more so, answer a written question in a verbal/oral chat
Well remarked, and a way forward indeed. 👍
This is good thinking - to help getting the questions right.
Soyinka has lost some senses by condemning what is good and supporting evil. He should have remained silent knowing his contribution would not be relevant at this point.
No your dad has has lost his senses.
Yoruba will support evil for tribal sake
The memory this so-called prof would leave for the Nigerian youths is that of a corrupt and confused enabler of dubious election riggers.
U are senseless
@@saintfolabi3082 He is sounding like someone bought over. I stopped respecting him when he condemned Goodluck but kept quiet with Buhari’s destruction of Nigeria. He did not even say anything with end SARS and when Igbo’s were targeted in Lagos. He only came out to support Thiefnibu’s stealing of Obi’s mandate. Soyinka is just like the regular Yoruba tribalist and a bigot
Don't blame Datti prof, as somebody who witnessed and experienced the Abiola injustice, the 2023 election robbery is highly provocative.
You are right
Hold your leaders to a higher standard, or else they will be no different from APC/PDP

I must at this point in time ask myself, ''what was this man fighting for all these years?''
Absolutely nothing.....all our so called elders are failures
Prof is pro Tinubu
You just did what fascists do.
If you don’t agree with someone’s stance on a particular issue, question their whole existence.

@@tracyumoffa5387 isn’t Kanu your leader ?
Don't blame Datti, we've seen The Judiciary give fraudulent Judgement, they Did it in Imo State, si Datti was trying to make the Judiciary sit up and do the right thing to avoid them being influenced negatively by the opposition
You aren't making sense at all. Obi didn't win any election.
But u skipped that same Judiciary help Obi when they wanted to rob him in Anambra?why re u guys suck hypocrite
Professors are the new Yahoo boys!😶😶😶😶😶😶👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
Exactly
So true!! The statement by Datti is making APC and their cronies in the judiciary nervous. He pre-empted their scheme to rob Nigerians of the mandate they gave to Obi/Datti. Now they've resorted to concocting baseless treason allegations and what have you against Obi. These are desperate people. They're cornered and don't know how to get out of it.
Is Soyinka having selective hearing? It's interesting that he can hardly hear the interviewers but heard all Datti said.
The professor was brought in by APC egbekegbe to gaslight Datti & LP. Ask yourself where is the professor when Nigerians are being killed by the ruling party. Why is he brought in at this time, is it wise to slap someone and also ask him not to cry or how to cry?
Don't mind him.
Why talk like that? I think he's getting old
See vawulence 🤣🤣
In fact really selective hearing
I believe the professor is only showing his true self he has a soft spot for this PMB regime, quickly condemning Datti without condemning INEC ineptitude is unfair
He did in his last interview before now
He said the election was massively rigged
Thank you for the good question , it seems the professor is biased toward one side he never mentioned what the other party is doing , let's leave American politics to American
This man is Disgrace. So u dud not see all that the agberos and tinubus spoke people did, all the killings and bullying durring election. . Well not surprising a man that believes there is no God any, what will u not see or hear him say. Youth rise up and let us take back our Country. All these people care nothing about u the ordinary people. Soyinka u are a Shame
Na another yuroba I presume
He had a soft spot for tinubu.Tgey used to protest together those days
@@travel.guide_tobaoni Tinubu fought only the Abacha government and that was because Abacha created NDLEA which affected Tinubu's business. Go and do tour findings and you'll see it's true.
He must have collected his own share from Mr agbado
First time I have seen prof shooked...Ayo is a direct, concise interviewer...it shows a level of professionalism..Dr Reuben will always stay a Politician..
When Arise TV want to interview him again,they should bring him to their station because some of the important questions was dodged by Prof Soyinka.
It's like asking them to bring Tinubu to the studio. You think Prof Soyinka have that time? Remember, He's having more reputation than Tinubu that feels too big to be interviewed by any of the media houses in Nigeria.
I agree with you Daniel. It seems that he was pretending not to hear the question.
he definitely dodged.
Dodged???? You are a igbo with Yoruba name. Lolll
@AjilaRiyike what's up here. U are not the only one in the country, and u can not be. If u find only ur tribe in the country, can u still be? So, don't be unnecessary tribalistic. U have gat other tribes to live with, so deal with it diligently.
I stand with Datti. I do not care whatever the prof thinks or says.
You and I would find Dr Datti, would value the Prof’s opinion!
Luckily for democracy he's not our VP elect 😊
@@SCh9912 No he won't. Datti was spot on. He said nothing wrong. People just hate to hear the truth. If you swear in Tinubu you are swearing in an unconstitutional president. It is as simple as ABC.
U go understand Prof. later...nor be gra gra Mata....Dati could be right BUT him fit use him own hand spoil Mata 4 himself.

It is shameful that Soyinka who was away during the elections is now approached by Arise News to speak about election he didn't even vote in.
You're right
Thank you! So funny
A well meaning Nigeria who was away can still express his view on matters concerning elections that was conducted.
What I was surprised about is for someone who was away for a few days of a prolonged electioneering process in a digital age of cameras, live video and media capture of events and activites to say I am not aware because I was away.
How many people then know the facts about June 12, '93 beyond one polling unit?.
Then do Nigerians abroad really know about the endsars at all?
What about those in diaspora supporting the obi movement? Don't they have right to speak about the elections they didn't vote in too?
@@adenijifisayo3354 why didn't Prof also issues his statement/opinion about MC Oluomo, and Co. At least be balanced not biased
Soyinka is a friend of Tinubu. Both may not be alike but there is some level of fondness toward Tinubu from Soyinka even though bulaba na election thief.
You are just being economical with the truth. Your friend, Bola Tinubu stole the people's mandate and all you could say is this rubbish. Datti and Peter aren't the problem here , your friend Tinubu was rejected by the majority of Nigerians. You can only say all these because you belong to the same old order that subjected our people to the worst human deprivation....
You are right. SOYINKA must be a friend of Tinubu

Thank you so much Ayo, for doing justice to that question, prof is my icon but truly sir, Nigeria should help him work on his hearing
we all will grow older , Prof has lived hos life and truth be told , he is one of Nigeria finest
I respect baba Wole alot however I have my reservation about his misgivings in regards to Dati interview. I find it hard to share his thought on this issue. I like the question Ayo asked as to which part of the of the Dati's statement that he actually found inciting. I don't see it, he only expressed the views of millions of Nigerians who feel aggrieved about the stolen mandate. This is a far cry from what happened with Trump in America.
I am sorry he had no point here but came to defend himself
It is pathetic. Soyinka (WS) is now nothing more than a mouthpiece of Bola Thiefnubu (BT) - the grand-master of corruption and political murder in Nigeria. The fact that BT could buy the conscience of a man as self-righteous as WS is an indication of how bottomless BT's pocket has become since the man started fleecing Lagos several decades ago. The man has finally died in WS. It is a pity.
So you don’t find what he said inciting, he said his stand on the constitution is the correct one and no one else and called the Cjn not to swear in a candidate going further to say it will be unconstitutional. It would have been another thing from you people if it was the other way round.. is he trying to put the people against the Cjn and the judiciary, why then are you in court ? This same Datti that rigged election which was retrieved from him in the court, Abi it’s not this pdp prior. I fear who no fear u people o.
This young lady Ayo is extremely gifted, she will go very far.
Soyinka was not concerned about the killings and election suppressions. Rather, he is more worried about what Datti said. What a shame.
I'vent been this disappointed. I'm so surprised that Mr. Soyinka can say this about the election
@@ngozinwankwo5051 Soyinka isn't a good role model. He supported Buhari and never spoke tough against him for the past 8 years. He insulted the wife of President Goodluck Jonathan and called her a Shepopotamus.

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!!!!
Well spoken...this is it right there
Absolutely 💯 well said, pastor.
Thank you for this piece 👍
God bless you Pastor Paul
Great talk from a VERY great mind. God bless you sir
Professor Wole at his best, still ! I have longed to hear from you with regard to recent election in Nigeria. And here you are. Thank you so much. May the good God continue to preserve you.
Nonsense. This single interview has destroyed the reputation WS has built for decades. But he is being paid handsomely by the Presithief-elect of INEC.
Ayo,
I am loving you the more, I have commented before that you are equally another another strong force on that table, I like how you sound and quietly repeated your question 😂
I love how she asked her question, Soyinka is avoiding the question.
@@honesto8457 How are you sure he is avoiding the question? May God forgive you.
Why has he not expressed his strong views about others who have been threatening to destroy Nigeria's reputation before the entire world? I wonder how he can face the world as a revered Nigerian who maintained silence at lives lost, vote buying, blatant voters intimidation, ballots box snatching, and the magnitude of such chaos watched all over the world. Instead of being ashamed of INEC's failures that led to Datt"s statements, he blamed Datti. He couldn't even comment on the fact that Nigeria would have been burning by now without Peter Obi's wisdom to calm things down.
Prof sir, there is fierce urgency of now, also surprised that you are not talking the fascism the present govt has unleashed on hapless Nigerians.
I just wonder if his ear is closed up which is the reason why he is not talking about that.
He discussed the fascism and attack on innocent minorities at 24:02
He's a typically of the old yoruba way of ethnic politics
@@royalchannel2630 , Sotinka said so.
@@okeyekeh936 and who practiced ethnic politics beter than your own leaders?
This generation thinks so shallow. Without history, you will keep making errors. I listened carefully and I think a word is enough for the wise. Thanks Arise TV and Prof .
Just keep deceiving yourself man ,we all know the truth so you’re only fooling yourself.
Please sir, give me one word which is enough for the wise. Because all what that Prof said is trash. We call it ,' beating around the bush.' He is clearly corrupt and afraid of showing it on TV for his reputation. Unbeknownst to him, we aren't fools. OBIdients are comprised of the most intelligent and good people in Nigeria. Rich or poor; young or old.
I do not think the elite in Nigeria know how angry the people are. This will not go away. Nigeria is like a petrol tanker on fire. The explosion will damage every one of us if the fire is not dealt with. All this attempt to shift the blame to Obi and Datti is simply making things worse.
Leave them to be using this issue as jokes. Amaechi’s statement always comes to mind…one day they will run away from the country
Let them continue, time will tell.

A most silly submission
Ignorant and illiteracy has eaten up your sense of reasoning so you can't see fact of what prof has said it's a pity 😂
You are very correct, am disappointed
A wack personality this day
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.
He is a friend of Bola Tinubu.
Awesomely put! I wish I could like this comment a thousand times!
...he’s a secret supporter of his bro & tribesman, tinubu; such dat he turns a blind eye to all d killings, votes/ballots snatches & switches everybody saw in real time...his criticisms of Datti have zero merits & most appalling!
This is d problem. We remain calm while apc continuously terroriser us. I hope we get it right this time. Nigeria is doomed if tinubu becomes president.
Very true. People are quick to insult those who they feel they can get away with insulting. He couldn’t say a word about the Tinubu’s character. “Emi lokan” is not fascist then. Smh
First time of listening to Prof. Soyinka. He speaks well with a clear mind.
Wole is a benefactor of BAT. He'll not see anything wrong with the pattern at which BAT want to force his way into Government.
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. It is a pity.
caution Mc Olumo, Caution the Yoruba ramble rousers, etc
I GUESS YOU DONT KNOW WHAT FASCISM MEAN. DATTI STATEMENT DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PROF. COMMENT.
I am so happy to see Ayo this morning, welcome back sis!
Prof is not really speaking truth with his full chest and is unfortunate.
Also, Arise news need to start writing captions on the screen probably that will help guest to better understand the questions as what happened during this interview.
Soyinka heard them. He intentionally sidestepped those questions.
Candid comment devoid of prejudice. Most of us react so quickly, carried away from the truth
Prof is truly showing who he is oo,all these men are the problem we have in this country.
I love our Prof Soyinka. But the Only problem is that he was outside the country during the elections. So not qualified to talk about the elections.
Because he is not speaking what you want to hear. It a shame!
Maybe Arise should consider typing the questions to help interviewees provide correct answers to questions posed.
Honestly Arise News needs to do better and stop this irritating behavior of asking too many questions at a go it's so annoying and frustrating. As a viewer and listener even me sef dey forget d questions not to talk of d guests
The man is deliberate in his insistence that the Datti statement is unbecoming without picking his opinion.
They understood but they want to dodge the question and push their own agenda
Accent
He did not come to answer their question but tell the same tell tale.
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.
I am in support of everything said by Baba Datti Ahmed.
Soyinka never showed support for Peter obi but he is acting like he was suporiting a change in the status quo.
YOU AND YOUR LIKES ARE DEAF CAN'T YOU HEAR HIM
He supports Tinubu. And that's common sense.
It is so so shameful how some older people who should be the truth speaking ones have become the true problem of Nigeria.
Prof. Soyinka seems to stand for nothing at this point. He seems to be on the same table as the corrupt people we complain about.
U don’t like hearing the truth
😂 because he is not crying like other Obidient.
Yoruba will never change. I believe Tinubu has been making a lot of promises.
Can you explain your claim unambiguously and without insults?
That’s because you are not educated. Soyinka is known to stand for the truth can you say that of your dad even tho Soyinka is way older… Mugu
I am really getting very disappointed with this man today. He selectively hears some of their questions. Thank you Ayo God bless you. Tribalism is written all over you and it's a shame.
Let have open mind. Your statement seem that "your mindset shows you are blind towards the trust" as long as it doesn't fit your opinion
Our dear Prof. Soyinka; never disappoints, always brilliant! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’m disappointed at Wole Soyinka …. I think he must have lost some element of integrity as he grew older …. People like him are supposed to stand up for justice and not speaking from one side of their mouth ….
Obviously English is your problem
It is you that has lost all elements of reasoning....you are not thinking straight at all. Bcs Wole Soyinka did not support ur party does not now mean you talk down on his person just like that. For Datti to be displaying these highest levels of desperation, arrogance and flagrant disregard for the judiciary, ds goes to mean that if they happen to get the presidency, their regime will be worse as no one will be allowed to caution their excesses.
I am disappointed at your comment, you have lost all sense of civility.... that's me assuming you had some.... shame
@@kissprecious did you call that desperation? After watching how the election in your country was carried out and the abuse of power of incumbent by the ruling party, I was speechless not because it wasn’t expected but because of the level of impunity at which such criminal acts were perpetrated in broad daylight. So, if Datti was giving his opinions out of outburst or provocation from all that transpired during and after the elections and some people misconstrued that as being desperate or inciting a revolution then such people are either afraid of standing firm for justice or just part of the rotten eggs killing that country.
@@nonsotonyazubike9884 don’t be disappointed my friend, be disappointed at the likes of Wole Soyinka who couldn’t condemn the criminal acts of the ruling party during the elections but saw faults in an opinion from a wounded Lion such as Datti who yearns and desires to see your country work. The time people of his like don’t shy away from condemning what is wrong and stand up tall for justice, equity and fairness, that’s the time things would start turning around for good in your country.
Thank you for the good question sister,i stand with datti and peter obi.
Wole Soyinka May God bless you for saying the truth. May you live longer
When they asked him questions he doesn't hear well but could hear what Datti ssid
Because he watched the news, just the same way you do , you people should stop acting childish , people who said Igbos don't know anything about politics they ain't lying afterall, the moment someone opinion is different to yours , you flooded him with insult ..what exactly do you want him to do? He take side wahala ,he didn't take side wahala , he supported Igbo candidate wahala .. you people are nothing but zombie
🤣😂😁🤣,
Abi o my brother,
He is playing hide and seek.
@@Tade734 what is childish about saying that swearing BAT is unconstitutional? Are you that daft and ignorant of the constitution or you think everyone is uneducated like you. If your prof knowing fully well the provisions of the constitution cannot speak the truth, then he is CORNfused and compromised.
Please sir keep enjoying abroad 😂 if you voted in the last elections, you’d understand my daddy datti’s comment. For now, keep watching from over the seas
Uncle was 100 percent accurate.Respect him.
Why answer a question you didn't hear nor understand, if a thief brazenly made away with your goods, would you fold your hands, clapping foolishly along, we must stop this foolery, aging apart, respect, tradition etc, we must equally put up a fight if need be, get it?
@@demolaayorinde3599 it’s that respect that they’re using to chop your eye. Yoruba ronu 🤣 clowns. I am yoruba too and i said what i said.

...well put; i’d be glad to provide some beer for him while he keeps watching from over d seas & oceans & d great rivers of d globe 🌎! Love ur comment, and owe u chkn pepper soup 🍲!
am really happy that rufai oseni was left out of this particular interview.His omission from this interview contributed immensely to the success achieved.
I would prefer if prof would come to the station live so that he can answer real questions without missing some of the important questions. As well, asked him about the statements of the opposition parties on daily purposes, the likes of FFK, Festus Keyamo, Bayo Ononuga, etc. Justice is best served when it cuts across all people.
Thank you
On point
Well said 👏 👌 👍 🙌
Come on my man. He is 90yrs old.
come to the station because of what exactly?
God bless you brother..✌️
Finally someone is saying it. The same way rigging should be condemned unequivocally so should Datti's statements. There's no if and buts about it
Despite the fact that we would love to see the Judiciary resolve the issue in favour of our candidate. It is important to speak with discretion.
The judiciary like all institutions has its flaws and shortcomings. However, you cannot throw mud on the institution even while you need it to resolve an issue for you.
How does WS rate the lives that were lost because of the cruelty of APC? What about the inhuman acts of the Obi of Lagos? And the untold stealing of electoral materials, damages of properties, ill treatment of Nigerian citizens in their own land. WS must be a complete joker. I am so disappointed in him. Congratulations to our galant Nigerian youths who know how to fight for justice. Congratulations to Peter Obi our pace setter
Where had Soyinka been all these days, prior to the election? Why has he come out now ?
Proff truly needs a hearing aid, I’m sure he didn’t hear Datti well. He needs a hearing aid to listen to Datti again and judge without bias
Prof heard clearly what Datti said, you need to put yourself on the other side and listen without bias. If PO won and Shettima said the things Datti said would you call him an anarchist?
We are not interested in what Datti said. What interets us now as Nigerians is our president elect Tinubu is he a drug lord or not. This is very serious. Why has Buhari not investigated Tinubu's drug case. Is Tinubu a drug dealer or not simply not Datti
@@chimakalu5195 So the bone of contention now is not whether he won the election or not but that he is a drug dealer 🤔
He has no problem with his ears just pretending to say the truth
@@chimakalu5195 if i were you, i will check myself to any nearby hspt before ur high-fever will be over blown? You definitely need urgent medical attention cos you have started demonstrating psychiatric traits. The stress of bottle is the one that always kills the one of iced water......see plenty JAMB questions wey you asked now now now....if you continue at this rate, then i'm afraid dt ds Tinubu matter go soon kill you.
The condemnation in a strong term of the atrocity committed against a particular tribe, their shops where burn, they where killed, treated intimidated etc. All because they want to exercise their rights to choose who governs them. This was what I was expecting from our iconic professor.
Welcome back Ayo
I miss you
Ayo is brilliant!
Doesn’t matter how educated Nigerians are…. they ALL approach matters through tribal lens. Prof is blaming the cheated person for crying but making excuses for the cheater. Who says tribe isn’t a powerful emotion.
Don't mind him. They are known for that. Nigerians always blame the victims rather than the culprits who commits crime.
The moment someone's views on issues are not what you want to hear, they are tribal. Don't you think something is faulty with such thinking?
thank you
It’s baffling
@@abayomis2284 Actually, WS should be condemning the audacity APC has to rig the election after their atrociously failed 8 years. It doesn't take a lot of assessment to know that most Nigerians do not want Mr "it's my turn the drug lord", hence why they lost. As someone who fought for democracy and as someone who witnessed June 12, he should be focused on how traumatizing this elections were for a lot of Nigerians especially on first time voters. This year's elections is a shame to the democracy they fought for!
I love Ayo, very persistent and never backing down.
The professor was almost looking like he was pretending not to hear.
In the end, all will be well with Nigeria.
Ayo,the female version of Rufai! Bold,fearless and intelligent.
Can you tell your father that at home? Nosh!
Wow!What was threatening to the judiciary that Datti said?
I have no idea what's this pro was saying. it's too much talk beating about the Bush
I don't get this twisting. Elections were rigged. People were intimidated, killed. There were lots of evidences everywhere. Nearly all the people that voted have the results of their polling stations captured with their phones. Datti expressed his opinion of the elections, so how did he threaten the judiciary. If you don't agree with him, move on or suggest another way out.
@@abiolaadeola1937 gbenu soun.
IPOB of course
Exactly!
Prof Prof live long truthful legend
Ayo you're on fire. Babe keep it going..oluwa dey your side.
This man is part of the problem we have in this country. Why is he beating around the bush? Ayo God bless you.
It's either it's old age or something has also changed hands
It might be helpful, knowing the hearing disability our revered learned and wise professor suffers from, to write the questions on an electronic chat tool or chart paper.
He is such a towering intellectual and moral reference for the truth, that he should continue to be consulted!
Thank you ARISE TV
Honesty is dignity and you have it sir. I know you're 88 yrs old, your hearing needs check up. Federal government should pay for it. Thks Ayo I wish Rufai was there to assist
Ayo was fantastic with her line of questioning. Wished he was in the studio.
My dear me too because Rufai is the man of truth and nothing more, but they will not like to talk with Rufai because they are afraid of his true questions so they might have tell the the arise tv that they don't want to talk with Mr Truth been Mr Rufai😅
Exactly, the act of selective hearing was very embarrassing and shameful for a man of his status.
@@royalchannel2630 Prof Soyinka will avoid Rufai????? An intellectual giant who has single handled foiled coups, liberated people, will be afraid of a Rufai..Honestly many of you have gone mad
@@dolapoogunbayo793 they've gone totally mad😂😂
They are living in their own self-engineered bubble of delusion
It's so funny, when MC Oluomo threatened, did Wole Soyinka hear that? When FKK threatened, did Prof Soyinka hear that? He may be losing all his credibility with this statement.
Sad.
So pathetic
It is pathetic. Soyinka (WS) is now nothing more than a mouthpiece of Bola Thiefnubu (BT) - the grand-master of corruption, thuggery, electoral manipulation and do-or-die politics in Nigeria. The fact that BT could buy the conscience of a man as self-righteous as WS is an indication of how bottomless BT's pocket has become since the man started fleecing Lagos several decades ago. The man has finally died in WS. It is a pity.
And what about Dayo Onanuga who released threats equivalent to what started the war in Rwanda...did he not hear that one?
He lost it all for life.
Arise is hearting up the political space with their one angle narrative. Simply
How did Datti threaten the judiciary?
Don't blame Datti prof, as somebody who witnessed and experienced the Abiola injustice, the 2023 election robbery is highly provocative.
I know right, this interview is a waste of time, he was throwing anger at the reaction never mind the action that caused it
Abi
Who noticed. He skipped the question and quickly said he didn’t hear the question and only got the glimpse of it and voom. Baba no skip am and he no answer.
@@amlo50 And that's why Soyinka mentioned Trump. Inciting violence is not beans. Now Trump is a felon because the American people worship rule and order. The point is Obi/Datti should not be allowed to act or say things that can be used against them despite the outcome of (s)elections. They both represent a new consciousness in Nigeria that stands for integrity and the respect for the rule of law.
God Bless you sir! its an honour to hear you speak objectively!
Welcome back, Ayo. We missed you.
You missed him
They leave the issues, they are concerned about Datti... Lmao
Prof, talk about the issues!!!!..
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.
A suggestion to Arise News when interviewing senior citizens...
Please provide them with closed captioning , to save them the trouble our honorable Prof had to endure today. Many at his age may have hearing issues, as he humbly alluded to.
While I agree with the intellectual argument for power decentralization, i fear that, that may only bring more problems unless Nigerians can identify and elect leaders who are intent on serving the people's interests. I can't imagine more power in the hands of the crop of governors we have now. Imagine what Wike will do with more powers?😅
Your submission is apt and well received.
However, judging by Wike's performance as Governor of Rivers State ( served there as a copper) he ranks as one of the finest/most performed Public officer at the helms of state affairs.
Personally, I didn't like his uncouth manner of speaking and highly outspoken,but who cannot but fall in love with Wike the infrastructure-builder ?
While I understand that Prof is saying we should calm down, that the fight is not over yet, we had to be a bit aggressive with Datti statement. I really believe that we all need to work for the common cause - A better Nigeria, which you want as well Prof, and you also agree that Tinubu and Atiku cannot offer. At least we have a common ground on what we need and we must not be divided as we pursue the mandate back
Okay, many people are aggressive right now. Let's see where it will lead us. I think we the youth just want everything scattered, but that's not the way to go. That's not the solution.
@@mrmoraks Honestly I don't know if you saw what happened in Lagos during elections. Everything was already scattered sir. People were cut with cutlass! Shops are closed and burnt in Lagos and elections are already even over. Why are we being partial?
It is like a Father who continues to cheat a child because he is quiet and ask him not to complain when the other child always beats him? How is that fair?
So it’s right for Datti to
Say his own narrative is the correct one and calling the Cjn and giving him orders? Is that who you call a leader ?
@@danieldirtieri1855 Sir, if this is where you are really taking your conversation to then it is difficult for me to reason with you.
I just told you before were killed in Lagos and you did not even blink? My God, am I not talking to a fellow human. 84 people already dead in Lagos and counting and you are asking me this?
Sincerely you cannot continue to beat a child and ask it not to cry and as far as I am concerned that is exactly what happened
Please for once be fair. APC cannot even win an election without rigging yet they said it was just 4 people tweeting in a room. Then you said go to court and now when they see the petition's prayers they start saying different things to not allow the hearing happen and tag Obi a criminal. I really would like to see how these ends
@@segunajayi3594 maybe you are taking me for a wrong person, you never mentioned anything like end Sars on this thread and if we are going to go by that, what did Obi and Datti do or say after the massacre? Do you know Datti said in an interview that he doesn’t believe there was a massacre at the toll gate, how dare he say that after all the proofs available online. Im sure you didn’t know of this interview I’m saying, Dele Farotimi was attacked by a journalist trying to cover up for Datti, do you also know Datti has rigged election before which was retrieved from him at the tribunal. There are a lot of red flags in that movement and I don’t believe in it at all, they are just using the citizens for a game, Sowore that stood with us, jailed fighting for our right, been playing the opposition standing against every bad policy that this administration has done, but you ignored him and went for Obi, you can’t tell me the two times Obi was governor of Anambra that he didn’t rig election also. You are not expecting this people that have led us to where we are to come take us out, all of them na same same, forget the lies and deceit, that is why the government are not raking them serious, they know where they meet. All this is just political games bro, we have to stand in one voice behind someone who feels our pain and struggle and go against the ruling class. Do you think of what is happening now is Sowore, dem no go wan try and steal Sowore mandate. We have to sit down and make the decision to get it right once and for all, we can’t keep choosing among the lesser devil. Nigeria will be great again.
I believe in freedom and unity of my beloved brand Nigeria and like you SIR, it's all about NIGERIA and her citizens
I'm with you Prof 100% especially decentralization of governance
Very intelligent question from Ayo 👍
Yeah, Ayo is my golden girl
Very intelligent gal ayo.
He didn't answer the questions
I came to RUclips to learn how to trade after
listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $700.000 in 2 months for $70.000. Somehow this video has helped shed light on some things. But I'm confused, I'm a newbie
and I'm open to ideas
Ayo dearest, you are my favourite in this interview, kudos to you.❤
Mr. Soyinka is too old to be stretched on any national agendas. I think it's best he left alone.
Thank you o
Hahaha..
If he supported you nko??
Thank you Ayo for bringing him to answer your question. It's better for him to state clearly which part of that statement is treasonous
Hope you know that Datti never said what the Prof claim he said. The Prof clearly lied against Datti.
Bless!🙏🏽❤ Old age! May we all grow old and lucid. Prof is so cute!😍 His hearing is going due to old age but he is clearly a “fighter” and keeps going because of his love for country. I don’t agree with all his submissions but they are his submissions and opinions and that’s ok. He has lived well and worked tirelessly for the country irrespective of what we think. I pray for longer life in great health Sir!🙏🏽💐😊
I’ve worked with the elderly and we just need to be a little slower as we speak to them and let them read our lips as we slowly speak. Probably a better tech equipment will be necessary to help others with audiology issues etc. I must commend Ayo and Reuben for their patience and kindness towards an elderly man struggling with his hearing 😊😍🙏🏽💐
Same here. Good tidings to the old prof, he looks well.
Do not agree with a particular assertion of his without a mention of the preceding action from the ruling party. As said, he has more than earned the right to his submission and would've lent more clarification with enhanced audio.
Like I said in my submission, Sir Soyinka is no more the one I used to know! What Datti said is nothing compared to threats from MC Olomo, FFK, Tinubu, and Keyam!!! What of the killings and maiming of human beings? Oh, please, PA Soyinka
Imagine a Yoruba professor talking like agbero, How is Soyinka different from MC oluomo ?
@@dando8091 You people don't have a single respect for your elders.
I have been saying it some of you archaic igbos should stop insulting a whole tribe and creating problems for other innocent igbos living in some state,s, can't you make your point without vomiting your illiteracy inspired tribalism
Datti never say give him the mandate,check what he said b4 judge pls.
I went back to listen to what Dr. Datti said. I heard nothing menacing or blackmailing. He was brave and stern.
This man is answering his own questions and not the ones asked of him. Ayo made sure he answered a specific question so we know who he really is. It’s a shame. His generation failed us with his type of thinking. No wonder they never made any progress in making Nigeria work. Shame!
Condemn datti what he said , the orof is right you can't say your position is the only correct answer na .
God knows what the fly will later become, which is why He created it with diminutive overcoat" Go learn and read about Prof Wole Soyinka before you guys start to open your buka cavity to spit venom.
Soyinka lost his credibility and respect in the lead to the 2015 elections when he became a tool of the apc. He was all over national and international media insulting the hell out of Jonathan and Patience. This was after Ameachi had invited him over to Portharcourt in 2014, held a state dinner for him for nothing, gave him 200 million. Then, he started his national and international media tour. Buhari came on board, and he was practically silent. Now Tinubu is declared president-elect, and he is now vocal gallivanting. Nigeria catches up with everyone.
The man was obviously dodging these brilliant questions by Ayo and Abati. Wow.. These journalists are very celebral and thoughtful . I give them my flowers
The respect I have for Soyinka died today after this interview. Blaming the victim continuously is shameful.
It means you never respected him , what he said was correct and datti was over board in what he said .
What victim?.Who is the victim?
Apparently, you didn't bother to listen to the interview, neither did you read his press release nor listen to his interview with channels tv.
Prof made great sense,He has not bias for anyone.He doesn't like how Datti spoke,he doesn't have to agree with him simple
What Prof said about Datti was not correct. Infact Prof Lied. Datti never imposed his thought on the judiciary - He never threatened the judiciary & never said the Judiciary must accept his position . Prof Soyinka lied here.
Prof you refused to talk about the big elephant in Nigeria, Buhari, who among other many malfeasance refuse to release incarcerated citizens despite Supreme court rulings like in case of El Zakzakky, Dasuki and consistently MNK. Nigeria under Buhari is abnormal.
He wasn't asked.. people like you would later come to say he has hearing problem.
