In His Memoir, You Must Set Forth At Dawn, Wole Soyinka Accused Obasanjo Of by onumadu: 10:20pm On Apr 09, 2023
"In his memoir, You Must Set Forth at Dawn, Wole Soyinka accuses Obasanjo of regaling his memoirs with ‘half-truths, outright lies and coy adumbrations’.

Soyinka goes on to claim that it was Obasanjo’s misrepresentation of the facts and details of a clandestine meeting he and Obasanjo had during the civil war, that led to the former’s incarceration during the war for allegedly acting as a spy for Biafra.

Obasanjo did this, Soyinka insists, ‘in order to ingratiate himself to his superiors in Lagos’."

If our beloved Prof Wole Soyinka could not stomach Obasanjo's "half-truths, outright lies and coy adumberations ... in order to ingratiate himself to his superiors in Lagos", how is that different from what he (Soyinka) is doing today with Tinubu?

What really happened to Prof Wole Soyinka, a man who invested his whole life into the fight for truth and justice?

I ask this question with a heavy heart, because I (and most of EDUCATED Nigerians) feel real pain that our role model appears to have sold out.

This is a man who fought injustice FOR DECADES in Nigeria.

Role models have HUGE influences on people, and now a lot of youths are confused.

Are lies now truths?

Honestly, I still don't know what happened to him.
I strongly doubt that this has anything to do with tribalism. An Igbo proverb says that a person cannot learn how to use left hand in old age.
The man has earned his stripes over many decades in Nigeria.
It has to be something else that changed him.
Maybe old age?
You know that some people don't handle aging very well.

Was this perhaps a ploy to tarnish Wole Soyinka's image, what really happened?

This man, nobody knows what he stands for. He is neither here nor there. Always speaking from both sides of his mouth.

Stand one place and maintain your Position, no. Always attacking people who wants the youth of Nigeria to take charge of their lives.

Zhis is a man who went deaf silence in the almost 8 yEars of Buhari's maladministration. When he is called out he will give excuse that he is too old for the future of Nigeria, charging the youth to take the affairs of their country into their own hands.

Suddenly he has regained his consciousness, seeing what the youth was all about in 2023 election, he is no more old, attacking anyone who is aginst the stolen mandate thief.

Deceiving people with big useless grammer is not a sign of intergrity, sincerity or standing on the principles of truth equity and justice.

Soyinka you are a disgrace to the world of literature

The whole thing is deeply troubling and has broken many hearts.
