There he goes again! Is Soyinka a jobber? Does this mean that if IBB apologizes, Soyinka will once again accept a job in the IBB junta when IBB becomes "civilian president?"
Who appointed Soyinka judge of who can or cannot run for an office in Nigeria? Will Soyinka be campaigning for IBB in 2007?

Soyinka spoke in his capacity as a Nigerian and under a Democratic environment. Those are his views. Let's face facts though; as an elder statesman who has seen it all, it would seem to me that he has earned his stripes.

My brother I believe the very venerable Soyinka to be a TACTICIAN, a trained STRATEGIST who simply set the bar high for IBB knowing full well that in his (IBB's) foolish and inane pride he will never find it gracious to say one simple word that comprises five letters "sorry" to the nigerians whom he look down upon. So please let's tread cautious before you inadvertently invite those that would cease on this opportunity to lob premature insults at oga Wole. He knows what he’s doing I too could read him even if IBB met this condition more will be added by raising the bar a notch thereby making it the more difficult for him.
BTW didn't you know the big time political prostitute, the godfather of jobbers omo omuriyi hauled his ass back there to ferment more trouble with his early shout for support for the same man Wole is slowly working on? This idiot is a very selfish individual who looks out for self only. What say ya?

The speed with which IBB has indicated his willingness to "apologize" makes me wonder what private conversation IBB may have had with Soyinka.
Soyinka has gone from activist to tribal demagogue. One must point out that Soyinka has always reserved his harshest criticisms for Abacha while treating IBB with soft gloves, and even working for IBB sometimes.

Points might exist in the views you articulate however all I am saying is that we should carefully watch without the early persecutions. What if, just what if Soyinka has one up his sleeves unknown to IBB? A proper hard nosed response should be expected should Wole betray the respect we hold for him. Dig?

I have the same premonition when I read about the “visiting father” request of apology from his former boss IBB. To be candid, I think it is a bait set and perfected at the Hilltop in Minna, and if the masses fall for it, it would be a clear way for IBB candidature as it’s been speculated.
Personally I have no qualms with IBB contesting the election because so far he has not been found guilty of any offence by a court of law. However, it would be interesting to see how possible is for IBB in his wildest imagination to rule Nigeria again after he scuttled the inconclusive election of June 1993.
