    No matter how you castigate the Laureate, he was and still remains the conscience of this troubled country. He understands and respects the fact that there is no perfect being but opinioted people.

      Devil (not God) lifts wicked people (like Hitler, Idi Amin, Sani Abacha) to do his will. Thiefnubu is the devil's workshop and WITH YOUR SUPPORT he will ruin you and everything important to you. So you better start praying to any God you worship that the courts will sweep the rubbish called Thiefnubu into the dustbin of history. Otherwise a few weeks after May 29 you will be lamenting more than those of us who warned you Agbadomites and Cassavarians against the Asinwin whom you foolishly call Asiwaju.

    This's quite paradoxical, no matter from what angle one look at the issue. Who wil ever think that our own dear professor will come to honor and eulogize Tinubu. What's the difference between Obasanjo (whom our dear professor hate with passion) and the greedy Tinubu. The gesture beat me hollow Prof

      When you failed to enact your own narrative rather follow others you'll definitely not get the paradox... Tinubu is an icon and a legend and a true Democrat

      Pa Soyinka (WS) has been corn-promised and corn-fused. Bola Thiefnubu (BT) has been giving WS "agbado" since NADECO days. 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.

    It is not surprising at all that you eulogized Leader Tinubu you being a prominent genius using your sixth sense superlatively and I hope that your excellent contribution will let the Southern citizens shun sabotage and support the President elect JAGABAN in making Nigeria agricultural and industrial and no more religious. Nigeria remains RRPP: richest in religion, poorest in production despite government laudable efforts. Very bad !

    @ truthnlogic reigns I find your castigtion of Soyinka inappropriate and I feel compelled to respond.
    About Soyinka's respect for Tinubu been selfish and reflective of personal gains: No! The first anecdote Soyinka gave was of Bola Tinubu, castigate him as we all do today, been an active part of the pro-democracy struggle. Every struggle/revolution needs money and Bola Tinubu helped provide it. Siimple! This was what Soyinka alluded to. And his comments are not reflective of personal gain. The money was used for the pro-democracy activism. Indeed the direct product of the "personal gain" you talk about is the collective democracy all Nigerians gained in 1999.
    The second story about Remi Tinubu bringing to Soyinka's spartan residence on his arrival from exile pots, pans and a fridge should mean little. These people are human after all!
    Anyone who knows any history should clearly see that Soyinka has been one of the most selfless individuals of reckoning the country has alive today. Soyinka has earned respect as been selfless struggle after struggle, government after government, pre and post independence. Even Gani sir, would not utter that Soyinka is or was selfish. It doesn't add up.
    About nobility, as far as I know, neither Falana nor Soyinka can claim nobility by birth. Or what kind of nobility do you speak about?
    In summary, Soyinka has earned and deserves respect.He cannot be said to selfish based antecedents and certainly not because of this 10 minute video.

    His respect for Bola Tinubu is very selfish, because everything he said about Tinubu is what he personally gained. This does not in anyway justifies why Tinubu has converted Lagos to his personal property. I have noticed something strange about most yoruba supposed noble men like Wole & Falana they have never castigated tinubu for corrupt. Men like Gani did, but this supposed noble men, turn a blind eyes.
