(EXCLUSIVE) Wole Soyinka: The Contrast Between New And Old Generation Is DEPRESSING.....

[@walter.zikalala]

I can sit and listen to this great son of Africa the whole day. Such humility, honesty, and wisdom to behold. We are very blessed that he is still with us, and tapping into his rich oasis of knowledge and wisdom! Long live Akinwande Oluwole Babatunde Soyinka, a great son of the soil!!!

[@spliffveron]

Absolute Lion of a man.

And many say Africa is the dark continent. If it were, this fellow would certainly be the insightful light in the darkness. May the world be blessed with many more years of his existence.

There is no one like him

[@iqmedia3919]

Because nation is just conception of man

so that internationalist bankers can thrive

One of the most beautiful interviews in recent history...Love to U

[@osasewere4027]

[@benjadidit]

Wow!... What a great African!

[@DeborahM116]

"War in the name of unity is one of the stupidest things humanity can engage in." Wow

I'm so glad he says his generation owes this generation an apology because it's his generation that got us into this mess,the mess we're currently in. I know it's something he also acknowledged, these so called leaders are responsible for the decay & terrible conditions especially with things like education.

[@Doonfoot]

You are implying what he wasn't implying. He wasn't refering to himself or Fela Kuti or Gani Fawehimi and many others because they talked, they protested they got arrested some lost their lives. He meant the animals that contributed to the mess Nigeria is in were people who were actively in power when he was a young fella. Now enough of that now you yes you fix it

The "lion" is a "jewel" and he turned 90 recently ❤❤❤ .

[@sabot4ge]

the continent of africa does a really good job at learning foreign languages...the synonyms, fluidity of sentences, and just the verbal dexterity is always impressive to me, not because its unexpected but because so many people here in the USA cant do that..you have to intentionally talk simply to the average american lol but most africans sound like professors..and Africans age VERY WELL..Even the most controversial military leaders from 50 years ago are still alive or lived to be in their 80s-90s. In america, Soyinka could pass for his 50s if he dyed his hair

[@Longest26]

I personally think Prof himself enjoyed this interview.

[@godisreal7165]

Oduduwa republic all the way period.

[@Emmanuel-vo7zg]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@innocentagbo2855]

I'm very happy that you're talking about the sufferings of this generation. We expected you to be talking about the sufferings, illegality, fraud, criminality in Nigeria. Peter Obi is not Nigeria problem instead the hope of Nigeria.

The wisdom literature from the bible is the way of the tao and they both are the occultism of the kabalion.

[@sabot4ge]

metaphysics of the universe converted into easily-understood human literature...egyptians or kemet tried to explain these universal principles in the form of maat and many gods...each generation of humanity does the same. It's the same general thing just re-written to fit a culture.

[@mishacknthane1060]

He is an intellectual earthquake

[@LordumohEdem]

When I hear professor wole Soyinka saying in his own generation; that saying makes me laugh, because I strongly believe that he does not no that he is still a youth even till 100 years except his over 100 of years then he can now say his an old man.
