USA Africa Dialogue Series - Wole Soyinka vs Wole Soyinka at 90

*"WHO ARE YOU?, AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE YOUNGER WOLE SOYINKA?":* The Heated Conversation when *Wole Soyinka @50 Meets the Wole Soyinka @90 Leaked!*


*The Alleged Confrontation Scene*: A quiet study in Abeokuta. Books everywhere. Palms whisper outside the window.


Then the door creaks open — and in walks a younger Wole Soyinka, aged 50: afro blazing, eyes fiery, voice sharp as thunder.


Behind the desk sits the now 90-year-old Soyinka — calm, slow, decorated, sipping tea from a cup engraved "Order of the Niger."


*50-YEAR OLD YOUNG SOYINKA:*

Who are you, old man?

You wear my face, my beard, my laurels — but not my fire.


What have you done with my legacy? I fought soldiers with nothing but words sharper than bayonets.


I faced prisons, bullets, and exiles — all for a nation that refused to kneel.


I stormed a radio station with a revolver to stop rigging.


I founded the Pirates Confraternity to confront corruption head-on.


I told the world "The man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny."


And now I find you — an old man sipping tea with tyrants on my table wearing an old semblance of my face


*OLD SOYINKA (@ 90):*

Calm down, my impetuous youth. You'll understand someday. Fire burns out; wisdom matures.


We cannot stay in permanent rebellion forever.


*YOUNG SOYINKA*:

Wisdom? Don't insult me. You mean compromise?.

You once called power a disease — now you collect its medals wearing big traditional robes


You rejected national honours from Jonathan, calling him corrupt —

yet you casually embraced Tinubu's, smiling like a groom at his own coronation. Didn't the irony seem obvious to you since though you may be older now, you still write very good literature 🤷🏿‍♂️


You, the same man who once roared "I don't need validation from corrupt regimes!" Now, Today you're the poster boy for the establishment you swore to dismantle.


You, the lion who barks and bites the powers that be — now purring contentedly in the palace of oppressors!


You who would have sent out your boys in the Pirates Confraternity on the streets to protest or even harm anyone voting for leaders with so much baggage just 20 years ago, now glorify a man with so many questionable credentials to became president of our nation just because he provided you a house and kitchen utensils when you were in exile from abacha?


Since when have we decided to place friendship about principle?


*OLD SOYINKA*:

Ah, but Jonathan was a moral disaster.


Tinubu is a friend; I know his heart. He bought kitchen utensils for me when I was moving house years ago with nothing


You can't equate being loyal to friendship with me supporting corruption.


*YOUNG SOYINKA (furious):*

Friendship? So that's the price of integrity now — friendship?


You trained us to fear no man, to bite even the hand that feeds injustice.


And now you dine with that very hand.


Tell me, Professor — when did your courage retire?

Was it before or after the GCON medal glittered on your chest?


*OLD SOYINKA:*

You don't understand the nuances of diplomacy, boy. The nation has changed. The young have become reckless, rude — children of anger.


They don't fight with purpose anymore, only noise. They abuse elders anyhow and call it activism . They are now mostly children of anger masquerading as freedom fighters


*YOUNG SOYINKA (laughing bitterly):*

Children of anger? You dare call them that?

They are your spiritual descendants!


Their tweets are softer than the bullets I carried,

their hashtags milder than the barricades I built in our younger days.


They only shout on social media with texts— I stormed a radio station!


And yet you condemn them? You inspired rebellion — and now you curse it.


The youths are walking in your footsteps, only without guns. But you, old man, have become the thing we once fought.


*OLD SOYINKA:*

They lack respect! They mock elders, they insult icons.


They called me names — "ethnic bigot," "out-of-touch relic."


Should I bless insolence?


*YOUNG SOYINKA:*

Respect is earned, not inherited like national honours.


You earned ours with blood and bravery — then squandered it with silence and selective outrage.


Once, you were the conscience of a continent.

Now, you are its cautionary tale.



*OLD SOYINKA (sighing):*

Time humbles every lion. Even you will mellow someday.


*YOUNG SOYINKA:*

No, sir — time should temper conviction, not bury it. The flame of truth does not retire; it either burns or dies.


You were the continent's fiery voice against injustice, and now you whisper excuses for those in power.


You once wrote *The Man Died* that inspired generations to be rebellious against injustice and corruption — now it seems the man has died in you.


*OLD SOYINKA:*

Be careful, boy. You forget that I gave the world a Nobel. I gave Africa a voice.


*YOUNG SOYINKA:*

And then you lost it!

What's a Nobel when the pen that won it now defends oppression?


What's global fame when it becomes the excuse to go soft on things that used to rile you up?


You taught us to fight tyranny. Now you fight those who dare fight it.


The man who once faced generals now scolds Twitter users.


The rebel has become the referee and ridiculer of rebellion.



*OLD SOYINKA (rising, defensive):*

Don't reduce me to your youthful arrogance. I've earned the right to peace.


At 90 I'm tired!


*YOUNG SOYINKA (coldly):*

Tired? The oppressed are still tired, too — of waiting.


While you sip comfort in Abeokuta, youths rot in prisons for doing what you taught us to do: speak.


You call it fatigue; I call it betrayal.



*OLD SOYINKA (mutters):*

America treated me unjustly — revoked my visa. A Nobel Laureate denied respect!


*YOUNG SOYINKA (mocking):*

Oh, the irony! You tore your Green Card on camera, declared you'd never return — and now you hold a press conference because they took you at your word!


The rebel who defied empires now begs for entry stamps.


The lion of Africa reduced to a tourist complainant


Seriously, Who are you, old man? And What have you done with my legacy?


(A long silence.)


The old Soyinka looks away, eyes misty.


The young Soyinka paces, voice trembling with rage and sorrow.


*YOUNG SOYINKA (softly):*

I fought for truth, not trophies. For justice, not just applause.


You were my future — but you betrayed my youthful past.


If this is what greatness becomes, then maybe history needs fewer heroes.


(The young Soyinka turns to leave.)


Before he exits, he pauses and whispers one last time:


*"The man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny. You wrote those words. And now, old man… they've come to bury you."*



My Last Words From The Fadeyi Balcony:


The tragedy of Wole Soyinka isn't that he grew old — it's that he grew quiet.


He taught us how to roar, but forgot how to listen to our echoes.


When the rebel becomes respectable, the revolution loses its poetry.


And when a once-fearless lion starts defending the hunters, it's not age — it's amnesia.


So today, I ask again:

"Who are you, and what have you done with our Wole Soyinka?"


My name is Ope Banwo

Self-styled Mayor Of Fadeyi , and Founder, Naija Lives Matter.


Yes, I am one of those generations who grew up inspired to activism by the life and books of the great Wole Soyinka in his youthful years .. but disappointed in his condemnation of the angry youths of our nation in his old age


Make of that what you will. I said what I said 🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️

Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Africa Update Fall, 2025

Indeed, many congratulations to Bernard Steiner Ifekwe for that area of research. We are looking forward to some future papers by him on the role played by Reggae Music in raising awareness and in contributing to the fight against Apartheid….

USA Africa Dialogue Series - [ Life, Death and the Example of Paul Biya] Protest Rises As Paul Biya Was Shamelessly Fraudulently Declared The President Of The Republic Of Cameroon



---------- Forwarded message ---------
From: Nebukadineze Adiele <nebukadineze@aol.com>
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2025, 00:51


Paul Biya is not in Cameroon, he went back to his abode of Switzerland minutes after he was "declared reelected", so I am not sure that this type of reaction will change anything, especially since France is staunchly behind Biya. 

My elder brother's wife wife is Cameroonian, so what goes on in that country is my business. The solution for that country right now is for the soldiers to remove the old man and hold a clean election immediately. It is absolutely intolerable that a 92-year-old man is the president of a country, despite his coherence -- more intolerable because he has been on that seat since 1982. My father died at 98 years old and was agile and mentally fit, except the last three weeks of his life. His mother, who lived to a century, was also agile physically and mentally but passed away while holding a conversation with my father in his living room. Dad thought that his mother had dosed off, as she often did, but it turned out that she joined her ancestors effortlessly and painlessly. But for the three weeks he was hospitalized, Dad and his younger brother (who preceded him in death at 95 years old in 2023) repeated the painless exit from this world similarly -- because they were righteous people whose foot-steps we are following. 

My point in the above paragraph is that old people, those over the age of 90, do pull the surprises of permanently  exiting this world at any minute, therefore they should never be allowed to hold leadership positions where life and death decisions are constantly made -- like presidents, aircraft pilots, vehicular operators, surgeons, etc. Regrettably, Cameroonian men don't fight, they are likely the most pacifist Africans -- that was why Nigerians soldiers were pissed off at Shagari when he did nothing when Cameroonian gendarmes killed Nigerian soldiers in Bakassi Peninsula in 1981.

Scott Ritter has also been sounding off on Donald Trump, and even before Nobel Peace Prize aspirant Donald J's latest sabre-rattling, declaring that he's going to start testing nuclear weapons , and before the questions arising, "Where? Caracas? Tehran? Moscow? When? On whom?, Scott Ritter was already asking what sounds like a  very legitimate question  of great concern :


" Is Trump unhinged ? "

Lest we forget , earlier this year, observers lament, breaking all diplomatic protocols,  Trump deported South Africa's Ambassador to the US . Trump takes all and any criticism of the US, so personally  - he  supposedly sees himself as the personification of the United States that he wants to make great again.  Fortunately,  we may not point at anything like Shelley's Ozymandias  - no facial feature of babyface Trump that fits the Ozymandias description. Perhaps, Trump will take some small comfort in that . 

 

The Wole Soyinka case : Respect begets respect .


Rule of thumb: Respect begets respect


Sadly, Jim Sidanius, erstwhile Professor of political psychology, is no longer with us to get down on this and other adjacent matters concerning what from time to time is discernible as Trump's erratic, sometimes eccentric behaviour


Diplomatic protocol means giving respect where respect is due and that's why the Trump who respects strong men just said to China's President Xi : "President Xi is a great leader of a great country, and I think we're going to have a fantastic relationship for a long period of time"


To our consternation, in his first term on the world stage, back then, less experienced and perhaps already somewhat surprised, frightened and giddy with the new-found (almost wrote "newfangled") power at his command - indeed - as the American poet e.e. cummings once observed in his love poetry, "not even the rain has such small hands" - and that was not a matter of precognition - cummings wasn't specifically talking about Trump's hands, but perhaps - another perhaps - Ginsberg was already hallucinating Trump's America when he wrote   


"Poet is Priest

Money has reckoned the soul of America

Congress broken thru the precipice of Eternity

the president built a War machine which will vomit and rear Russia out of Kansas

The American Century betrayed by a mad Senate which no longer sleeps with its wife"

 

Anyway, talking about the size and sizes of hands and other body parts  e.e  was certainly not then anticipating or talking about Trump  who we were unpleasantly surprised to hear referring to North Korea's Kim Jong Un with some disdain as "little rocket man"  - as if he didn't know that if Kim ever felt like it and had the wherewithal he could , God forbid, surely obliterate New Your City, Trump Towers with it and what a great pity that would be, considering just one reckless push -button and what's done cannot be un-done, not even by Kim Jong Un  who like China, is also a young master of Sun Tzu's The Art of War 


 Is it that the US Consulate in Lagos was hellbent in trying to humiliate  Nigeria's pride  and Africa's and the World's Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka ? What's so disheartening is that the consulate authorities know and knew they were dealing with a world famous dramatist and therefore went the further mile to set the stage -they summoned him - by letter  to be physically present  with his passport for the visa revocation to  be stamped  - he was supposed to travel all the way from his sacred abode in Abeokuta  , a distance of 100 km 62 miles, a 90 minutes drive  - and we are to suppose that he had to set out at dawn


I'm happy that Bard Soyinka didn't go the extra mile too, to make  a big drama out of it  - he could have done what Bobby Fischer once did  - Fischer  had received a letter from the UN, a letter banning him from playing a chess chess match against Boris Spassky in Yugoslavia; Bobby Fischer took the UN letter out of his pocket read the ban out to the assembled reporters of the world press, dramatically proclaimed "This is what  I think of the UN ban" after which  he then spat on the letter  and tore it up ….


The question remains, who wants to travel to Trump's Mar-a-Lago, anyway?  A few years ago  - no respect - Trump thought that he was insulting everybody when he said that Africans and Haitians come from "Shithole countries " and that "When they see our skyscrapers, they don't want to go back to their huts


Middle Nation has been weighing in heavily on Trump 


From Iran,  even academic commentators such as Seyed Mohammad Marandi are relatively calm but bellicose when weighing in on Trump (The Great Satan) and by extension Trump's best buddy, according to Iranian demonology, " little satan") 


No doubt if Nuremberg Trials Number 2 were to be held in Tehran , then ADL - God's Justice  being the second most important in Shia Usool ,  Great & little Satan would pay a very heavy price indeed 


Surprisingly, we haven't heard any harsh words from e.g. China or Russia's Lavrov, both of course, masters of diplomatic protocol 


Are we to understand that the visas of Trump's critics will be revoked? 


On his own home turf,  among Trump's critics are 


The Defiant Lawyers Network  -no love lost between them and Trump


Jeffrey Sacks  who has labelled Trump " The worst president in our history "


Chris Hedges 


Andrew Napolitano
