Because you are an artist does not mean you cannot double as critic of work of others. More often than not renowned graduates of English double as both e.g Achebe. Criticism of others arts is a reliable guage of an artists depth. As they say only the deep can speak to the deep.

The criticism of art is often left to the critic, not the artist.
So, Chidi should be free to be silent on his work.
As for commenting on Toyin's work, please lets allow Chidi to be. Not everyone likes engaging in criticism.

This is a similar escapist reply you gave a while ago when asked to comment in your own poetry. You left that to the critics.
Toyin could have said that about Ireles work but he was forthright in writing some things even though Ireles work is equally in the publuc domain.
Something made you pass the comment you made on Toyins work. We want you to elaborate as part of that public. Your individual take.

Olayinka,
I can but I won't because Toyin's writings are in public domains, readers can judge for themselves.
CAO.
