WOLE SOYINKA FADES INTO NOTORIETY Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI


A model to expectant scholars 
A signpost to young activists 
A dream of professors
A hope of truth in the sea of lies 
Fades into notoriety 

Lying barefaced and unabashed?
Now abhorred by teachers?
Now the negatives of courage?
What no one wants to be anymore?
Just fades into notoriety 

This 90 years is terrible 
This age has been blurred 
This chapter of chatter shatters 
He turns to his spittle
Goodness me!

Becomes the scorn of kids
All about him is now of jest 
Abandoned to sorry tribalism 
Leaving the stage in dishonour 
Murdering earned reputation

Can fame turn notorious?
Wole Soyinka, insignificant?
Let none of mine age like him 
May our age never turn curse
Haba Wole Soyinka!

    His recent vituperations against Mr. Peter Obi are exposing him negatively to the world 🌎

    The interesting thing about his war of words with the young people is that they are willing to engage him just as he did to the generation before him.

20TH OCTOBER, 2025: THE DAY THAT PRESIDENTIAL INEXPERIENCE BROUGHT RESTIVENESS INTO THE FEDERATION CAPITAL TERRITORY. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

I had always believed that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will make a serious mistake as the president of Nigeria. He and almost 90% of Yoruba people are not versed about Nigerian politics but a lot of people will argue about this. The Yoruba has a developed environment and it's normal that such people don't easily go out. This is not their fault but it's a reality.  Most of them do their primary, secondary and tertiary education within the Yoruba states and never travel out of Yoruba land. Those who are lucky to have experience beyond the Yoruba land within Nigeria are those who undertake the NYSC Scheme outside Southwest. This also usually happens to them when they fail to get posted to their states.  Others who go out of Yoruba land are those who go to London or a few other countries and if you have been close to the Yoruba people, just like some of us who are "Lagos boys", you can predict them.  Just as they're trooping into Abuja now and are busy doing real es...

THE ANIMAL CALLED IDIOT AND THE MYOPIC MENTAL FACULTY OF OUR LEADERS. Written by Prince MacDonald Enwere

Image
Hedgehog popularly known as Idiot is an awkward looking spiny mammal which belongs to the subfamily of Erinaceinae and the family of Eulipotyphlan. They are mainly found in Europe, Asia, Africa and New Zealand. Idiot or Hedgehog has a common ancestry with Shrew. Like many other first Mammals , they have adapted to a nocturnal way of life. Idiots have a spiny protective feature like that of Porcupines which they use for defense especially during extreme distress.  Their spines are not poisonous like that of Porcupines. One of the distinguishing features of Idiot is that they are born blind. They have a very shallow mentality. This is the main reason why they always cover their faces with their hands, always feeling shy all the times. Their shallow mentality makes them to easily fall prey to their predators.  While other animals strive for survival they always mope about achieving nothing on daily basis.  Incredibly, some human beings are like Idiots with profound intellect...

WHEN POLITICAL GAMES ENJOY COMMENTARIES OF WEAKLINGS AND THE TREACHEROUS: THE EYES OF THE MOST REASONABLE BECOME THE WATCH SCREENS. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

It beats good understanding how most Nigerians think. So humans who are mostly believed to be normal are supporting Wike and blaming Fubara for being ungrateful? Ungrateful for what please?  Ungrateful for wanting some space to govern and live as a human? Will Wike be responsible for whatever happens in his (Fubara's) regime as a governor in history? Will any of the people criticizing Fubara ever be happy to live as they tend to be prescribing for the man? Again some others are saying that president Tinubu saved him the first time and I ask how? Tinubu spoiled his matter which was legitimate. The legislators were already out by law and Tinubu saved them in an unlawful manner using the state of emergency.  There wasn't any division in the PDP when the lawmakers defected and by that they legally lost their seats in the legislative house. Fubara would have lawfully ousted them and replaced them with reasonable lawmakers other than puppets and stooges as are now littered in Rivers...
