Wole Soyinka - Hatched from the Egg of Impunity: A FOWL CALLED BOKO HARAM
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- Akinwande Oluwole "Wole" Soyinka is a Nigerian playwright and poet. He was awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature, the first African to be so honored.
BOKO HARAM is indeed a “homegrown” religious affliction - insofar as any social eruption, anywhere in today’s world, can be considered an insular development. Nor is Boko Haram a purely religious phenomenon. What has become familiar as a toxic brew of religious and politics in pursuit of power for its own sake has catapulted the Nigerian instance into a solution defying menace that threatens the fabric not just of Nigeria, but of both surrounding and distanced African nations. Many like to subsume its beginnings and expansion under social alienation, economic deprivation, governmental corruption. As always, there is some truth in that. The Nigerian instance was however largely born of impunity, the art of - literally - “getting away with murder”.

Baba Wole Soyinka, I salute you sir. Hopefully, Nigeria will celebrate you while you are still here with us. I wish you continued good health, joy, peace and long life.
Much regards sir.
Wale Soyinka's poems allured me to taking Literature in English, even when I was a core Science student. I just read the subject for the interest, however, fate created the room that enabled me to write the Literature exam which I also passed. Thanks to our own 'WS'.
Wole is the most conscientious elite in Nigeria. He’s always put his thoughts forward without colorations or biases. These are men that should have been president in times now past. We don’t need anyone from the current crop of political leadership to ever represent Nigeria or be responsible for its future.
👍You gà'it!👌
That's great to hear. Thank you. He should have been one long time ago.
Prof. Is a supermarket of wisdom!
💖💖 to you professor Woke Soyinka
I read Soyinka in late 80s high school, and Loury in the 90s. I feel nostalgic and renewed all at once!
Nobel Laurete Poet/ Playwright Prof. Wale Soyinka, to me is not only a pride of Nigeria but also Pride of Africa. Somebody to look up to. A man who's not afraid to write what he feels about injustice in the system. A great poet and wonderful lecturer. Bless you!
To show familiarity with his thoughts, I will call him knowledge personified.
He amazes me every time I listen to him talk, must I say, he is my hero.
I have one of his poetry taught in my college,based on a white land lady housekeeper in usa doing racism even he was very honest with the rent etc ❤️, respect to such s great man🙏, love from India 🇮🇳.
Thanks to Glenn Loury and all who provided us this fine lecture by Mr. Soyinka.
Prof has given no less than a detailed compendium of the issues that propagated and sustained Boko Haram and indeed insurgency in northern Nigeria and by extension the unending spread of terrorism in Nigeria.
This lecture is absolutely illuminating and courageous.
"Wole Soyinka" is an icon of both modern and past literature
His wide knowledge is incomprehensible
Thanks Prof. You did justice to the questions. I even wondered a man of your age could be so young hearted by the response you gave. it is clear your vision for the future generation is flawless and achievable. May the younger generations take a cue from your visionary submission.
Sir you have said nothing but the truth God bless this nation with peace amen.
It's a hard truth which must sink into our minds as we join him with prayers that his overview of our nation would come to pass.
His play, 'Madmen and Specialists', is the clearest exposition of the inevitabilities of post-colonialism that I have ever come across. A genius!

Thank you for analyzing all that has been done in our country all this while. Many of us have affected in different ways by all this. But thank God for u and for the changing we are having now. I can't wait to end listening. I live in Bauchi at most of this time
Hearing all these manifestations of impunity, no one with sane mind will be comfortable to be in same country with such people who do not respect the secularity of a country and never held accountable for such impunity.
So all should be conscious of this speech and act accordingl..
An amazing reaearch paper for prosperity.
Ohh! I have read most of his proms and one of his play The Trials of Bro Jero. This man comes after Nchinue Achebe. Am a cameroonian but must admit that Nigerian have talents and has always produced great men and women
Apparently they are everywhere
Thank you Eric.
You're damn right.
You're also wise and intelligent to say that. Thanks!
Prof Wole Soyinka, without doubt, is by far, the conscience of the nation Nigeria. Of course there are many other Nigerians who can fit the description, Soyinka is up there at the top.
Nigeria's foremost national treasure. We must protect Prof. Wole Soyinka at all cost.
when people get old , they should nt meddle into things .. cleary he was good. but meddling into nigerian politics and campagning for an iliterate terror man for president, -that led to the loss of thousans of lives in nigeria and still counting, made nonsence of his academic intellectuality- my humble opinion
May God heal our Nations. More strength to Wole Soyinka
Prof Soyinka is a man a counter must have. He is an uncommon asset.

One of the greatest philosopher freedom/justice fighter of Nigeria & Africa interests worthy of emulation
Professor Wole, may God bless you. You are a man of absolute great integrity and honesty.
The Prof! Thanks for this lecture. You had your education in Nigeria. Can Nigeria of present generation ever produce your kind of international scholar? I don't think so. It is a pity.
Really a pity and big shame
Still no changes in the contraption. Agbe preach regional parliamentary system or breakup.

Have you read the new book " DEAR SATAN, Is God Evil?" By Kanayo Nwankwo. The book is on www.amazon.com.
The book deals with the ironies of human existence and how to live with them , an eye-opening exposure on the ills in Nigeria.
Thanks for the good intervention regarding Nigeria problems devastated and degraded?
My professor.. I am very proud of you for delivering a very sound lecture..
God bless you Prof. Wole Soyinka for your good work.
You are a great man of wisdom of knowledge and a great inspiration and role model.
You are a blessing to Nigeria and Africa.
God bless you Prof and thank you for all your good work 🙏🏿👍🏿😊
THIS IS PURE & TRUE HISTORY OF NIGERIA. THE GENESIS OF OUR PROBLEM AS A NATION ONLY TRUE NIGERIAN CAN MAKE THIS BIOGRAPHY OF OUR TRUE COUNTRY. YOUTH OF NIGERIA CAN SEE NOW WE HAVE A DEEPER PROBLEM THAN ENDSARE. NORTHERN YOUTHS, SOUTHERN YOUTH & MIDDLEBELT YOUTHS LET US SEAT & THINK ON WHICH WAY FORWARD WE BETTER AS ONE NIGERIA THAN BEING DIVIDE. WE WILL TAKE THE WORLD IF WE ARE ONE. FORGET ABOUT THESE OLD EXPIRED POLITICAL JUNTAS WHO ARE ONLY PACKING OUR WEALTH USING STILL THE IMPOVERISH NIGERIANS TO CONTINUE TO ENRICH THEMSELVES. THEY WILL USE RELIGION, TRIBE OR DECEIT TO BRAINWASH & MISLEAD YOU ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. THIS PROFESSOR HAS GIVEN IS A LOAD DOWN TRUTH . MAY BE HE IS SAYING HIS LAST TRUTH SO NIGERIANS WILL REMEMBER HIM WHEN HE MIGHT LEAVE THIS WORLD THEN GOD WILL QUERY HIM WHILE OTHERS DEAD OR ALIVE WILL HAVE AN ANSWER TO GOD. PROF. MAY GOD FORGIVE YOU ANY OF YOUR SINS & WRITE YOUR NAME IN THE BOOK OF LIFE. REMAIN BLESSED FOR SAYING ALL THESE TRUTH.
Must RESPECT! Icon! Doyen! My DUDE!😘👌

Few things that make Professor Wole Soyinka unique are
1. He is above eighty years yet still strong.
2. He spends over seven years without drinking water.
3. He has no mobile phone and he is OK with it.
4. His activism has validated his voice as a critic of society.
5. Aside the Military governments, all democratic governments in Nigeria have high respect for him.
Prof you are saying the whole truth! Those who has been secretly supporting this agenda will vehemently speak against you. You can know them by their comments.
A good presentation.
With all due respect to our Noble Professor, Wole Shoyinka, none can fault the articulation or the Intellectual materials parked in this lecture. If all these are true of Boko Haram impurities and by extension to Muslims practitioners culture . Prof. Today's situation in Nigeria, 2021, gives you and others likeminded individuals or groups the opportunity to severe relations with the Canals of the North and speak for the Yorubas and narrates their suffering under this oppressive regime . But instead you argue for RESTRUCTURING and continue association with Nigeria, One Nation
EXPIRED NATION.
Wish You Long Life
Indeed you are great sir
Always on point
Same problem of many years ago has continue to trouble the nation till date

Well done for exposing the truth.
deferred dreams lead to bewildered frustrations, our young have become victims of circumstances, our young in mind and body have been driven to the wall thus have no other choice but to employ such militant tactics.

Do we have other Nigerians like prof Soyinka? From his revelations can we call this country "one Nigeria"?
No is not oooo my brother

God bless you proph.
This message is for the various Igbo and Yoruba groups in the Diaspora, it seems like we are in a better position to help those back home. Ibadan Descendants Union, Eze Ndigbo, etc., USA, UK, France, etc., need to join forces and take Britain to the International Court of Justice, Hague. They must admit what they did to our people and also be part of the Solution ("Great Solution" especially to quell any agitation from the North). We are not asking for reparations (even though we could as well ask for damages to cover the big loans and indebtedness of the current country). Then "We The People" can truly decide our own destiny. The Southern people have the right to determine their self-government and the right to a more stable union.
This is the demon the US and Europe have both chosen to take to bed, one that has scotched the Nigerian landscape and set it spiralling into the womb of darkness. Somebody please wake me up in 30 years hence, and I will join my colleagues in the developed nations fight the many fires that would erupt within their societies when the monterous child begins to mutate.

Is it a curse to be African? Only the white education can stop these inhumanity to our own brothers and sisters.All Africa countries should copy Ghana’s free education to Senior High School level so that they can know good from bad.
Where are u from mr speaker
We need to listen to a father and a well learned Nigerian educationists. I thank God for you big Dad.

hear yourself, after 50 years of biafran war, you calling them biafran rebels. incase you dont know, what biafrans saw 50 years ago is replaying now
Christabel, You do not know the role Profesor Soyinka played during the civil war. He was kept in prison for protesting the killing of the Igbos and starvation as a means of warfare. His friend Olufemi Sowemimo was thrown downstairs from a seven-story building and that gave birth to THE MAN DIED. Till death, he remained Ikemba's best friend. Please go and read the Man Died. Thank you.
@@alexomeke5660 not prof but the moderator that introduced him...
U make sense bro.
Need not be surprised. One person useful idiot of British designs on that part of dark ccontinent.PWS started off as socialist just like most intellectuals that came out of ibadan or SW Nigeria of that era. He had an encounter in Egypt when he went for international socialist conference. I thought it was here he had his Damascus experience that made him to become tool for British imperialists. PWS opposition to trump says a lot about where his international politics lies.
Prof. Wole Soyinka, the living legend
He is a seasoned writer. He has done his bit. Let the politicians do their own bit.
I have no good news for this man speaking wonderfully here- he helped in bringing in the monster we have today as Buhari! how come in all his wisdom, and even from History, he could nt see the Iliteracy , inability , Islamist and terror tendency in buhari ? Stop deceiving people with poetic quotes its over with such nonsense! Hatched from the egg of impunity.... you are one of the impunity Mr Soyinka
I a Nigerian how did Wole Soyinka help bring Buhari to power please? Did he force people to vote for him or was he the INEC chairman then? You guys should desist in your hatred towards him
@@godwinejiofor8064 he campagned for buhari, he said he wont come back to nigeria if Gej wins, in his status, his speech and or silence matters a lot- he and others including Dino , who out of his acting ability and shamelessness openly apologized to Gej... its unbelievable how learned people in our society opted for a clear known islamist as a president
I’m not LA my life is over my bro everything and you know him as my name is Allie OK bet my life you know my
The average Nigerian politician is corrupt and they cannot police themselves. It is the responsibility of Nigerians to make them account for their corruption. Some times the Nigerian public trusted their politicians trust that they don't have for themselves. They are giving the impunity to cheat and no one make them to account for it. They are free to do what ever they please, and get away with it. Apostle R.A.

Which questions wasn't properly answered? And what did you expect his reply to be?

Could you please check the records and correct your impression that Biafrans were rebels in the 1966 civil war in Nigeria.
lol if biafra wasnt rebels what were they then? afterall they werent terrorists? any body who took arms against the government is a rebel, even when their course is a just one.
@@olusolaladimeji5165 What do you term a situation where government takes arm against her own people? It was a clear case of genocide and attempted extermination of a race. If the Ibos had not been resilient and creative they would have been wiped out merely on allegations of been responsible for the 66 coup. You don't classify a people who defended themselves against national genocide as rebels. A coup carried out by Victor Banjo, Adewale Ademoyega (Yorubas), Chukwuma Nzeogwu (Opanam, Delta), Emmanuel Ifeajuna , Chris Anuforo (Eastern Nigeria), was termed an Ibo coup and Northerners started killing the Ibos everywhere until Ojukwu called the ibos to return back to the East. My brother I ask you to check your history one more time, and to help you, try reading "Why we struck", by Adewale Ademoyega. You cannot classify the Ibos as rebels. In that incident, it was the Northern Nigeria who rebelled against the ibos, by overthrowing Aguyi Ironsi, and killed any ibo person in sight.
@@Royaltreasure1967 i got your point of view, of course there was a Genocide against biafra, for sure i know and that genocide is still going on in nigeria and i tell you something, the reason they are mostly able to carry out all these impunity is because, they got support from those who are even hungrier in the name of tribal and religious divisions.
They were not rebels but they wanted to control the minorities in the Eastern regions
@@dinecookingchannel1352 Being a Rebel is not necessary a bad thing. The American rebellion led to the creation of America. Biafra rebelled against Nigeria against the killing of its people. discusion like that will just digress from issues

You think ?
Of all that was said, shame shouldn't have been what you should feel rather begin to think of solutions yourself being one who is practicing what the subject highlighted, not attack someone who exposed truth to also help you with solutions which your sympathetic ass won't oblige. Absolute nuisance
All the past solutions given, which one is being applied.
Weldon. Tell them the better truth. And the solutions it's division.

Epitome of scholarship and rigour
Extremism is an ignorance of those who practice Islam but do not really understand the Qur'an and the Hadith's of our beloved prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him and all the prophets of God) if you ain't socially connected with your environments and nature, and you read the Qur'an you may not really understand it, we as humans in all levels, animal's, plant's both all that's surrounding us we are interconnected by God.
I dont know why you didnt use your skill and knowledge to rule this country. If i go free education like you do. Many youth will speak better and fluent without looking down on any books. But God is looking all of you... we move
First Question is very interesting. What USA can do for Nigeria on Boko Haram problem?Answer should be: USA should hands-off from Nigeria and other countries and focus on his own country. Each nations can solve their problems easily if USA does not mix them. USA is the source of most of the conflicts in the world.
