Surely, Nigerians are a people bedevilled by inexplicable paradox. They eulogise you and testify to your meritorious achievements when all things are equal. But when the opinion of the achiever becomes diametrically opposed to theirs on any issue that they hold dear or of pecuniary interest to them, they quickly turn 360 degrees around to pull the same person down. What a people!
How on earth would any right thinking man of the society say that the Noble Prize Award conferred on the literary Giant and revered icon, Prof. Wole Soyinka of all persons in 1986 was rigged? An Award that the entire world celebrated and made Nigeria proud as it placed us on a map of global scholarship.
Yes, any riff-raff (as is obvious in this case) could say or write his/her pile of rubbish against the name of a well known personality, to satisfy their whims and caprices, but the annoying thing is not what they say or write per se, it is when others begin to pay attention to their garbage. It's very annoying to say the least!
See Vincent Modebelu calling Wole Soyinka a "boy boy" to Gowon, when Gowon was he who jailed Soyinka for opposing his Government on the issue of Biafra. Soyinka risked his very life like no other Nigerian on the other side by opposing the Federal Military Government at the time of war for the Biafran cause. If he were a Biafran and his utterances were made against the Government of Biafra in support of the Nigerian cause, he would have been summarily executed. And the Government of course would have been justified. So Soyinka knew the consequences of his action. Yet he defied all odds to oppose a government run with live-ammunition at a time of WAR. And his pay back today is calling him Gowon's "boy-boy". Lord have mercy!
Nnamdi Kanu allegedly talked about dismantling Soyinka in a 3 minutes debate, and people are listening to that kind of rubbish? How old was Nnamdi in 1986 when Soyinka achieved his global feat? He was about 14-15 years of age and in secondary school. So, what does he know about Soyinka?
What about Governor Ayo Fayose? So because he has become a governor of a state, he has suddenly got a credential to pull down Prof. Wole Soyinka, abi? How old was he in 1986? He was either of primary or secondary school age when Soyinka achieved that feat. So, what does he know about Soyinka?
To all Nigerians, I make bold to say that Prof. Wole Soyinka has become a solid, concrete and credible institution. He is an immovable towering mountain that no human being can afford to push down. He has contributed beyond measures to the land that gave birth to him and he still soldiers on. Even God is happy with Soyinka's contributions to scholarship and to his fatherland. "Whence wilt thou lift up Olympus?" (Apologies William Shakespeare).
As opposed to celebrating our heroes, Nigerians have a penchant for pulling them down. Even where there is no cause to do so, they try to fabricate one to satisfy their whims and caprices. We have suddenly become the demented chicken that sucks the best of its eggs. We have to change our mentality. Lord have mercy!

It is no secret that Wole soyinka's Noble Price was not based on sharp writing but Political to debase Abacha and turn the world against Abachja.
American and Europeans that take 99% of the award decided to play politics and used Wole.
The rest is History
It did not work
Abacha did not care,
they had to find other means
Nigerians cannot even tell you the books published by wole Soyinka.
Obasanjo + YaraDua + Jonathan + Buhari know what happened.
Wole is a politician than a writer.
from his Boy boy service to Gowan through Sam Aluko
To Willing his Thugs of Black AX fraternity to Babangida
To opposition to Abacha and exile and political noble prize
To Obasanjos showdowns on appointments he never got
To NDDC Board fight with yaraDua and Jonathan that were denied him
Now Buhari who does not want to hear from him do not talk of see him
Remember that when Jonathan refused appointing him, Wole joinedGov. Amaechi to abuse Jonathan.
Now he is on his own.
He always wants to be bought out.
BOMBSHELL!!! Nnamdi Kanu Finally Exonerated: Soyinka's Nobel Prize Was Rigged - Says Fayose's Aid, Olayinka
Governor Ayodele Fayose, has said Professor Wole Soyinka's Nobel Prize was rigged. Recall when the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu made the same allegation during one of his live broadcasts on Radio Biafra thereby challenging Soyinka to a live debate and vowed to deconstruct the Nobel Laureate in just 3 minutes.
Olayinka has been a rabid critic of the playwright and Africa's first winner of the prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature ever since Soyinka grudgingly supported Muhammadu Buhari, over Goodluck Jonathan, in the 2015 presidential election which Buhari won.
Olayinka described Professor Soyinka's recent outburst against Nigerians who criticized him for not ripping his American Green Card into shreds as soon as Donald Trump was elected the United States president last month.
"When you are operating under the ANOINTING of a RIGGED Nobel Laureate, there is no way you won't say Nigerians are morons", he said on his social media account.
