Oyewole Soyinka in his own words to "General" Segun Obasanjo, the Jagonmolu of Egba land!
"For a loose canon, you are abnormally liberal with advice, so here are some for you - all distilled from attestable blunders in your career: Learn first of all to be less intemperate. Learn to read carefully what is before you. Learn to relate every word to its context. Learn also to read between the lines. Do not believe the first tale bearer! When you write or speak, avoid categorical claims that may blow up in your face. Do not attribute falsehood to others - 'mischievous', 'perfidious' or whatever - until you are absolutely sure of your facts. As No. 1 citizen, curb the excesses of your 'First Lady'! Anyone can urge 'self-restraint', 'sobriety', 'decency' and 'honesty' on others, but you should begin by looking inwards, examining your own actions and pronouncements with diligence. You will discover that you aggressively try to foist on others traits that characterize your outbursts, conduct and relationships, including a streak of pettiness that does not become your age and status".

This level of "truth-telling" about Obasanjo to other BiafraNigerians could only be the result of anger. Both Soyinka and Obasanjo have unclean hands.

Obasanjo deserves worse. But, we have to start asking questions about Wole Soyinka. During the elections, Soyinka launched attacks on on Buhari just in time to give the advantage to Obasanjo. I think that the report that Soyinka missed a ministerial appointment in Obasanjo's cabinet should not be overlooked.
