Now hear this – Facts with CERTAINTY not hear say or dem say.
Again, this is the headline of the Daily Times on Thursday, October 9, 1969, the day after Wole Soyinka was released from 22 months of imprisonment for advocating for Biafrans. Fifty-five years later, the children of those he fought for are insulting him and saying things like, ‘You no go die better’, ‘Your father!’ and ‘Stomach Infrastructure’.
Peter Obi was eight years old on that day. He is one of the children Soyinka was fighting for. Wole Soyinka will be ninety in six weeks. Even if you cannot respect him for his age, at least revere him for what he did for some of our people and their parents when the whole world had abandoned them. Please fact-check me. Soyinka fought for food relief to be sent to Biafra.
Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed should consider this before threatening to “destroy” Professor Soyinka. If General Gowon, with fifty thousand soldiers, could not destroy Wole Soyinka, I seriously doubt that Baba-Ahmed can destroy the Nobel laureate even if he attacks with fifty thousand Obidients.
And to those saying Soyinka ‘has no future’ in Nigeria, please note that if not for men like Soyinka, who fought for justice and human rights, perhaps Peter Obi would not have had a future after the Nigerian Civil War.
We thank GOD for your life, you have touched so many lives, brought them closer to GOD, apart from making their lives better. GOD will not forget all you have done for mankind in HIS name. GOD bless you.
