The Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed has rejected the challenge to a public debate with Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka. Baba-Ahmed, in a statement on Saturday by the Obi-Datti Media Office, said he could not take up Soyinka’s offer of a public debate due to political and cultural reasons.

Baba-Ahmed was under fire over his comments on Channels Television last month that it would be undemocratic to swear in Ahmed Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s president come 29 May 2023. In reaction to Baba-Ahmed’s comment, Soyinka in a statement titled “Fascism on course” described Baba-Ahmed statement as fascist.Baba-Ahmed statement reads partly: “Therefore, we state that the Labour Party’s vice-presidential candidate, Dr Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, cannot take up Prof. Soyinka’s offer of a public debate, not out of cowardice, but for cultural and political reasons.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

This is a man who accepted a position from a military government 'FRSC under IBB' he is a scholar but certainly corrupt as established by govt he served.He is a Relic, shadow from the past, soon to fade away like every corrupt professors used by INEC to rig the election.

Soyinka should be pitched with Chimamanda Adichi and he will see that venting words is not the exclusive preserve of only him.

Wole a global icon world renewed, why bringing yourself so low, it's so sad that you will see blue and call it red shame on you

He's afraid

See wisdom wey finished Prof.

Compromised Global icon.

But it's ok for you to sit in front of camera to address them in matters they corrected you but rudely decline acceptability. That's it's a sign of cowardice and incapable to lead. You ain't bold to defend your blunder

Let Soyinka invite Chimamada and then poet vs poet

Baba Ahmed pls don’t debate this man . My respect for him is gone wole Soyinka is not a man a enough remember he is a Yoruba man chameleon in different colors pls ru for ur dear life ooo

If soyinka's want to talk and support Tinubu let him come out and talk boldly like a man the way he talk during Buhari time

The debate should be between WoleSoyinkaa and chiamandareal Chiamanda Adichie, on her letter to President Biden PeterObi dattibabaahmed peterobi fkeyamo realFFK

Global icon who graduated with 3rd class degree!!!!! Hmmm

These are the real issues. 1. Bola Tinubu's 1993 Narcotics Trafficking & Money Laundering Case, and $460,000 Forfeiture. 2. 25% in FCT. 3. Forged Certificate. 4. INEC not following its guidelines. 5. Shettima's Double Nomination. 6. Election Rigging.

👌That's my V.P. I said it that Prof. Woke Soyinka ought to be debating with his Fathers and ancestors

There are widespread concerns about a section of social media users polluting spaces with unhelpful comments,however, to simply say they fascists and are Obidient’s followers is disrespectful. Is mr Soyinka happy with the way this country is being run

Why would a Professor think of going to the extent of debate? It is really not decent. Debate is for the Penkelemes old Lords. It is not needed in this current world

Just say ya Papa misyearn no mean say him no be Papa again just trying to be respectful

What a smart way of spanking, yet not being disrespectful to an elder.

🤣🤣🤣😂😂

Wisdom guides

Mad man

It's not important, the 88 years old man should go and sleep

Best and wise decision eva

Soyinka should first of all explain the kind/type of RICE business Tinubu introduced him into before calling for a debate with Datti

Instablog currently ahead of Sahara reports

On point ooooooooohhhhhhh Respect X Master

Otherwise the 88 years old icon would be terribly humiliated as Festus Keyamo did to him years back when WS join the fray in the case against Fryo on the assassination of Bola Ige.

Great from Dr Datti

I like the way he respectfully declined with a little bit of insult 😂😂😂

Smart man 👨

Smile

Let him debate with Chimamanda if he insists...

Maximum respect

It's a complete waste of time with an aged man whose senses are already collapsing.

Soyinka should debate with chimamanda and get his ass... Even this man wey I like from small? Omo I nor expect this from soyin. Na why I nor go like grow old for Nigeria because most of these Nigerian old men just dey shock us since.

One thing is sure. You will end up crying if the debate holds

You're right! Let's respect his Gray hair..

Sahara Reporters is the most biased news platform. Learn how to give news captions without prejudice.

😂😂

Wisdom

Public debate on what Exactly😠 how can a so called professor be this childish ffs If your fellow professor Achinua Achebe was here will you call him for debates It’s like musician calling an actor for a music compose challenge 🙄

😥😥😥😥

Another grenade

This two resemble for my eye

come to thinking of it 💭💭

Wise Datti. Soyinka has compromised his stand. Even angels can be corrupted if they're successfully baited. I'm not surprised.

Datti you did well by rejecting dat Debate 👏.

The fact Prof Soyinka is older than Tinubu is enough reason to reject the offer. Bring the vibrant Jagaban to the debate. He is best fit for the task asked of Datti.

My pop corn

Baba-Ahmed appears to be a complete and respectful gentleman. I salute his courage. Prof. Soyinka's utterances as an elder statesman is to say the least disappointing.

Oil dey ur head baba Ahmed them dey find client ObiIsComing

Soyinka should debate with MC oluomo

Lol baba Japa. Lol English na ur mate.

He should bring so you can debate with him,or Soyinka should face Chimamanda.

That's correct

P

Very good decision. I know Obi cannot disrespect prof, even if prof insults him. Datti is learning very fast.

Woxked Old cultist.

Shameless old man that has refused to comment on the looting and killings under the Buhari he endorsed. All he knows is how to endorse criminals in high places. Wole Soyinka didn’t even care how INEC conducted themselves. He’s after the youths. Crooked bigot!

This is what is called respect for the elderly person and nation representative in the world.

Chimamanda Vs Wole Datti vs Tinubu like for options A, retweet for option B

So you are telling us because of respect your elders make our society still dey remain living inside corruption poverty terrorism abomination…. Our Lord Jesus Christ was 33 when he was challenging reputed elders to their wrong doctrine so it’s not disrespectful

How did Soyinka insert himself into this whole thing?

Copy and paste scammer

The meaning is that baba don old, him brain don dey deteriorate

Oh! Wait a minute! This man is 88 years and still looks much younger that Tinubu? Fada Lawd!

Nice

Is that all he said? What about the part he added a condition which was 'Tinubu should be invited there too'

When MNK was telling professor in Nigeria to debit him so called Soyinka hide under his bed..... because of the Evil he speaks about Nigeria youth is now looking for a way to clear his Mass.... shame to an icon of a zoo country Nigeria

Public debate? how childish of the hair..tbh he ought to be silence

Baba Datti does not want to put the once wise man to his place with his mouth

Is Soyinka not ashamed of himself of trying to debate with someone who did not even mention his name on the of the interview

He made a plea for public debate to lecture DATTI/obidiots followers to get it right,both in public discourses presentation and civility 👍

I’m sure Pa Soyinka has not remembered the story of David and Goliath. Or probably he thinks the story of David and Goliath is a fiction.

Baba wey ear dey pain want debate. How now?

Unnecessary distraction... meet us in court

Old age is the real problem here Soyinka is now reasoning in verse

Smart move..LOL!

You mean the bigostic global nuisance.

If he did... kudos to him. Let PWS look for another literary prof amongst the Obidients to debate... whilst he purges the corn from himself.

Is Soyinka a running mate to any of the political parties?

Which global icon ?An old man who have the privilege of speaking the truth but kept quiet when Nigerian people were being oppressed & terrorised by this government.Wole Soyinka have lost respect of most Nigerians.He should bury his face in shame.He eroded his little legacy left.

D be bض

Please prof should go and rest I saw the interview and I will say this a new Nigeria 🇳🇬 is coming and not even the old thieves can stop it

Hahahahahaha..!!! I just love my VP

O. Yes nice destination,,,

I'm so proud of my party. They will just let you rubbish your self in public then they will still call you sweet names to crown your already damaged image. See what obi did to soludo.

What made Soyinka a global icon? Which of his book is a best seller? CRAP!

He didn't reject it, Datti with modicum of knowledge ran away from the Pacific embodiment of knowledge, struggle and freedom personified as Kongi!

Datti Ahmed sense is being restored gradually.

Wow 88 years old man?

Obidients are very cultured

LMAO Icon wey only thing en contribute to country na to form cult group.

This shows that DATTI, you were well trained and mannered to respect elders but what if the elder failed to respect himself and align with those that are hell bent on ruining the future of a whole generation and youths of a nation? FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!?

Datti, you should pity Soyinka. He wrote books that are not readable because as a person, Soyinka refused to understand his audience. The books he wrote are not selling, he then resorted to Talking bribery from Tinubu. He tested bribery with Amechi and perfected it with Tinubu

Nigerians think that a debate is about speaking english and subtly insulting your opponent… A debate is simply a presentation of clashing opinions and a display of perception…

styleplus imagine that

myaccessbank someone sent me money since Friday night, and I'm yet to be credited o.

No sane man debates with old cultist

Prof. can only be understood better by language students and other exceptional students who understand what communication is all about. The decent thing is for Datti to feel remorse over that interview since his manner of communication has been faulted. He is a supposed new order

😂 😂 😂

This man is part of apc distraction tactics.

Icon my foot, betrayers and confused old people everywhere.RUBBISH

They want your comments to be tagged insulting and embarrassing or tribal war so that they can bring you down. You and your boss are the two smartest 👊

Baba Ahmed is more respectful than the so-called entire APC who rudely call people idiots. Later they will say Obidients are violent people give us peace and we will give peace but bring fight we give you hot fist.

All this are just threats of psychological advantages posed by the number of the laureate’s holders days on earth and with the “prof” title . If the laureate holder deems it fit for a younger fellow to sit with him in debate then why not . Wisdom may be of Age but God is greater

These Steve not the words Datti. It sound more like Obi’s cos Datti is full of poisonous words

'RESPECT'

Mumu datti that was calling Asiwaju uncle couple of months ago is now seeing it indecent to sit opposite a global icon in the person of WOLE SOYINKA. Wahala lo ma pa datti las las, o de ni ever di Vice President ni Nigeria afi ni Mauritius.

Names like Soyinka,Sowere, Sowolu, Soluomo and Sonibu is becoming a problem to this country...

Fake News

We move

Wisdom is profitable to direct... Children obey your father and your mother so that your days will be long.. Baba Ahmed is just doing God's bidding

Dementia 😢

This man Datti is full of wisdom! God give us these guys abeg!

Your headlines are misleading. You write as if you think from your bum bum

But Sir I raised my hand na I really has some questions to ask you, I accept your debate unbehalf of Datti.

Who is Baba standing for? The debate between a father and son is not necessary. I don't think they have issues to debate about.

😀😀😀😀😀datti Ahmed did not want to pass through another school again from the professor

But it decent to call 71 year old drug baron

Lmaoz 🤣😂🤣 no wonder Sowore kept trolling you for calling BAT 'Uncle'. Wake up man, take up the challenge and don't deflect

Datti japa! You should have honored Kongi's challenge and let him rubbish your existence. O ni se iru e mo. Imagine Prof asking a question in English language & Datti is hearing Spanish. Prof's vocabularies will nail Datti's career toll eternity. Congratulations Datti for japa!

What a lame excuse He knows he is no match for the 98 year old man. Kogi is not asking him to come discuss politics but the constitutionality of his stupid childish comments on national tv

You are just plain dull. Simple!

😂 He dodge the bullet

Shameless old folks everywhere!

Digital and Analogue choose... Am with Datti's line of thought. Soyinka! Debate with your mates, especially, Buhari, Tinubu and Yakubu.

Wise

Soyinka & his likes Abati thought we are still in the era of Azikism 🤣 during which they use big grammars to scare wise traditional ppl away 🤣. Absolate, grammer rappers & their lack of logic representing this new wse generation? Social media has expose their poor judgmt calls.

Global Icon ni. He has unmasked himself. Tribal bigot.

Why is he wolesoyinka so interested in debate than what is essential. What cannot baba officialABAT cannot do does not exist even our own icon

See as professor just dey disgrace himself. An 88 year old man whose time on earth is already numbered is just disgracing himself.

yes he doesn't want anyone to die in his hand

Lol it looks like some just said he can’t debate with an old man of global recognition..😂😂😁😁 this is even better than the drama in Nigeria

Sowore and his calamity reporter, Datti said the white head man should drag his candidate deleted by inecnigeria to the studio with him and he will oblige.

Social media wàhálà.. Tinubu is elected already.. Make we all go rest abegi

Wisdom

It grieves me to see how men of impeccable reputation are bought over by a renowned criminal/drug Lord. With all the gray hairs and certificates why Wole Soyinka? I had respect for you. Now you want to disgrace yourself on air for what, ruining the little legacy you have built.

Soyinka should invite Nnamdi KANU for a public debate about politics. Before the election we were looking for who to invites all the presidential candidates for to a public debate but u hide ur face.

My dear VP. Rest

UBACares pls check you dm before I make up my mind about u guys

Soyinka is another respected elder brother..

They are not mate in any area, he said that as a sign of respect for the elders, his a cultured man.

Datti should distill the debate down to the Nigeria situation holistically. I want to know which angle prof will debate from. Let them also consider the killings and kidnappings that have just started in sections of the country unabated. I want to really check something

'...and point out his folly to his face' That's the omitted part of the statement

Why would he call for debate,did he contest for any political office or he is just working towards another state sponsored birthday party?

A wise reply! Respect

Wise man!!!

Wole should challenge Chimamanda. Shettima should challenge Datti Bala blu, sorry BAT should challenge Obi. Fair enough.

Especially one that has been fed from Taiwanese rice.

'and point out his folly on national TV'

Useless Sahara and Sowore. Datti said he should bring una preferred candidate the druggy that avoided all debates during elections. If he can drag him to studio then he will honor his debate.

You scared?

It is not good when a leader is invited for debate and he didn't show up, how will the masses know your agenda. But it is good for leader to keep is plan secret for the evil leader. Does that are given speech what have they accomplish.

Obj: Obi this your VP can dish out VAWULENCE 🔥 response oh. Obi: Daddy, we must challenge this rascality & retire em all.

Nigeria ..sahara 😄

Like do u get. He accepts now go there nd schools him it becomes he doesn't respect his elders

Decency & decorum demand. That's what makes the difference btw obidients outside SE & SS enclaves.

Why didn't he seek his daddy's assistance, yes daddy

🤣😂😅😅

Dis Sahara be like una be sponsored by agbado people

Where was WS when tinubu shy away from debate? He would've rep Tinubu.

U fit sit down na. Make u hear word.

Tobechu59292139 Debate that Tinubu didn’t do, Soyinka wants to do it for him. This shame no get color 🤮🤮🤮

What did Datti the Daft have to say, he's a disgrace to Northerners identity. He himself can't think straight anymore his brain has been washed by his boss called saint obi the embezzlers of Anambra funds.

Wisdom

Teach them how to show respect.

If u like debate like this , how come u are yet to debate with any member of the present gov

That's very respectful of Datti. He must have learn a lesson now & regret his utterances during his Channeltv interview. When we felt offended we should always going back to the drawing board &strategies especially when we have our case in court. That's intelligence!!!

He knows 😜 Soyinka will disgrace him

If this man is 88, then how can bat be in his 60s? Abeg help me do analytical statistics.🤣🤣🤣

Very intelligent man...my vice I hail you

Look how Soyinka is disrespecting himself in public. Calling for a debate with Datti, on what ground really?

Soyinka has made himself so irrelevant, what a childish statement

So Soyinka is 88 and BAT is 71🤔

U people should update us on Bola Tinubu drug case not this Soyinka or Datti debate

That's someone thinking

This Datti sabi cook vawulence with respect. People wey no sabi English no fit understand say that statement na better smackdown ooo😄😄😄

professor wen no get shame

The difference is clear. Any icon could self destruct!

They should therefore take his advise without insults.

Sure, that’d have been so brutal. I’m sure if you do, the end has definitely come be that

WS used a gun to stop a radio station from announcing akintola as winner of an election. Facts are there. History never forgets.

irrespective of your tribe, religion and political affiliations; you are part of the problem of Nigeria.

Nothing has changed in over a hundred years! The emperor's always rolling out fresh gladiators to distract the populace and disenfranchised from demanding for their rights. The West is doing it even now so, why not our politricstars! If you support the illegality of 25/02/2023..

That's wisdom over there! Wale has downgraded himself cus of self greed!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 iyammi ooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Man dey reason proper! 💯💪🏿🧑🏿‍🍳

Is Soyinka representing Tinubu and the APC now? And does he want to debate that the mandate was not stolen? I don't understand why calling for debate. Debate over what exactly?

FirstBankngr FBN_help I want to claim back the failed transaction funds I sent you a text on your Dm 😡😡

Soyinka is 88 years old and Tinubu is 70😂😂😂

We don’t talk to old farts!!

If he need debate let him debate with Maazi Nnamdi kalu

So this is what this Prof has been reduced to... Shame.

Chimamanda is available anytime, anywhere, just set the date old man

Off course, what is he going to debate for ? Or on what issues? Mire distractions

What is there to debate. To me this is another Professional distraction...

My respected elder brother

Coward.

I TOLD PEOPLE THAT BABA AHMED CAN'T UNDERSTAND SOYINKA ENGLISH

What will Datti say in front of prof Wole Soyinka? He knows where he belongs to now

I so much love Ahmed Datti. Full of wisdom.

He just shows respect this 👇👇 no matter what

He use operation dodge ẹ 🤣🤣🤣

myaccessbank and access_more Thunder Go fire una for frustrating my life since today

No need for that. Till now he didn't tear his us passport.

We don't respond to surrogates

Disinformation....

Junk journalists. He said he’ll debate if……

Coward

Carefully packaged 'you dont mean shit'

Giving excuses will not save you

Why do these people like reporting nonsense

Wisdom. These guys always impress

Datti can not stand either Soyinka or Tinubu in debate. He shouldn't try it

He definitely knew he was going to be schooled by Prof.

Elder

fidelitybankplc please reverse my money, I bought airtime with my mobile App on 30/03/2023 the transaction was unsuccessful but I was still debited this is 10 days now I have not heard from you and all effort to reach you people unanswered. Please reverse my money I need it now

Nigerian professors most them are just shameless and hopeless. Soyinka a tribal bigotry political illiterate.

E for accept am wetin dey hm head ........Shea dat kunu brain abi......JOKE

Debate him as per what nah..as per who..me I want to debate Shetima!!!!

What can Datti Baba Ahmed say, what stuff is he going to present, how will he start the debate?

Matured response by Sir Datti ...let the man go and debate with market women if he likes.

Does Datti Ahmad have any electoral value? This is a man that cannot win his polling unit in Kaduna state. Labour Party scored 55 votes and came 3rd there.

I love this man...wisdom full him head pass some 88years old people

He did not reject it he said if only he will bring alongside with him tinubu.

Prof should ask tinubu for a debate because throughout the election campaign period, Nigerians did not see him in any debate and by age it fits the two

Always biased in reporting. Datti is too clean to sit with a senile old man

Datti is a very wise man.

Ferdina22444189 'If Prof. Soyinka can use his influence to drag his preferred candidate, Bola Tinubu who resisted debates throughout the campaign, to the studio, I'm more than willing to take them on' ~ Sen. Datti Baba-Ahmed

Na you see am as not decent. Your unlettered Obedients are not cultured to know it's disrespectful.

He know that he cannot pass the question and answer.

But we just found out that the icon is engrossed in stomach infrastructure disease. He takes bribe with style and has no credibility to grandstand.

Datti is wise, lets focus on the main issue.

I just wished there was never Labour Party. They brought more problems to a troubled country. And Obidiots won't listen. They see everyone as enemies.

Mr Soyinka is really selling himself short

Who borrow am sense?

Insult! Sarcasm! Obidients are smart people. We take out time to respond, maturity everywhere. Who's a loser now. He thinks he can bring down Obidients with his childish comments. Animals in humans form.

Prof Soyinka should please leave Nigeria youths to manage their future, he will soon join his ancestors 88yrs is not a joke.

Point of correction! Senator Datti did not reject a debate with Uncle Wole but gave him a condition. The debate is now for Uncle Wole to accept or not. 🤪

This would have done before Nigeria's selection, such debate remains irrelevant.

I think people should look in the mirror before saying things. APC Bola Theifnubo couldn't even show up for any debate whatsoever during election season, and u folks are blabbing about is Datti not debating Soyinka.

Baba is just too scared to answer questions and fear that his questions or points he’d have considered cogent would flaw before prof . 😎😎

This man dey fear

Hahahahaha. FULANI man is running away as usual. Quota system professor . Soyinka would have finished you pata pata. You think say na to carry gun dey kill people and sponsor terrorism that your people sabi do. 🤣🤣

Global Agbado Icon

It’s Educational engagement not fight 😂

This is not what he said.

Why would anyone actually want a debate btw WS and Datti? To what end really? Let’s stay focused on the issues at stake here please.

This Datti, should maintain his lane.He is arrogant and proud. Thank God there losed. Come back 2027🙄🙄🙄

What are saying again? It clearly shows you don’t think before you speak. It’s the knowledge you have to say that’s important.

Afraid of public humiliation

Werrey nor want dragging on national tv, he know say this one nor be Seun or that overgrown Odogbolu midget Rufai 🤣🤣🤣 Prof will mop the floors with.

I knew he’ll reject the invite

He know what is good for him.

So foolish to say lolz

The should come along with Tinubu for the debate bfor Datti. Case close!

A global icon who pointed gun at the head of a journalist doing his job? May be we should just forget these matured cultists that age has clipped their wings and can't fly any more so they sit at one spot and pour out venom . In 1965 he was a deadly armed cultist.

If our respected Nobel laureate Prof Wole Soyinka can use his influence to drag his preferred candidates, who resisted debates throughout the campaign season, to the studio, I will be more than willing to oblige Prof's request for a debate. ~ Sen Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed ~

This blog una sabi lie

Una headline dey always dey twisted

Icon indeed, if you are looking for an icon, just look at Chimamanda N. Adichie.

There's absolutely nothing to debate about... I mean; what we're they going to debate? That we have a democracy? Absolutely not! That we should accept whatever our oppressors are throwing at us and should turn the other chic? Absolutely not! That iNeCK didn't rig the election? No

Who’s a global icon? Lolz 😂 rubbish

Wisdom 📌💐

OBIdients are full of respect. Since Soyinka can't respect himself, we are advicing him to do so.

See his mouth, face him. Are u not a man like him? Una go dey open mouth anyhow 🤣

The professor ever seen till today,am not blaming datti and l.p leaders, they scaring grammatical of wise one soyinka

LP career has ended, let them try this shit, very useless set of obidient virus

The kingsmen of a thief always hide him at the back, so that, he will not bring Shame to them. Prof, the last time I checked you were not a politician. Allow the APC politicians to come for a debate. Roasting the bush fowl in the presence of the home fowl shows you will soon eat

What a response. This response will keep this grey headed miss-placed priority CORNfused man in his right position. U didn't debate with your preferred Candidate and all the rigging havok he perpetrated. Oga debate, go and debate with BAT and his crew

Soyinka has become a problem to Nigerians because of tribe politics

We are expecting soyinka to debate for important not challenging labour party. VP LP..

It's worse than indecent for a supposedly celebrated 88-year-old to challenge a young man to a face-to-face debate. You won't see that. Even when this same 88-year old mindlessly betted his American green card if a certain person is elected POTUS. It came to pass and he renaged!

Sowore is SUG president is too small Prof Soyinka is too old

Thank you the Solomon of our time. Leave him let him go in peace please

On what common ground will a debate btw Wole Soyinka & Baba-Ahmed take place? Nobel Laureate: Literature, arts, & creative writing. Datti: Economist & Politician, vying for a nation building role. I propose a debate: 1) Datti vs Shetimma. 2) Soyinka vs Chimamanda.

Ẹlẹribu ni Datti yi oooooo But it's okay to sit on national TV to promote and encourage break down of rule of law and chaos within the nation. Chai! PeterObi NgLabour and dattibabaahmed na pure yeye , thank God dem no happen to naija

No be physical fight na.... Na brains go fight

That's to tell you who we are as obedient.

Well well well, I think Datti is full of wisdom. This is a wise decision. You see him as a global icon but he sees you as a champion because it's only champion that's been challenged in boxing game. He actually brings himself too low and lower by your rejection.

Who are you working for? Incomplete news

Tell Soyinka to go court & stop fooling himself

See your life... You forgot that mosquito may look tiny and fragile,yet just one inside your net at night can give you the roughest battle of a lifetime and sleepless night! Don't underate anybody!!!

Sahara Rumourters

You too get sense jare!

This we do guy 😂

If you know you love Nigeria not out resources like obi BabaDattiAhmed come for debate wecantcontinuelikethis datticomeoutfordebate

He should have gone for public debate . Kowa gbo Itan . OBIDIOT

Even though I don Dey doubt the obidients, I like this response.

ZenithBank my money has been with you since Oct 1 2022, and till today you have refused to refund me cc. cenbank lasgcopa

He should seat with chimamanda and debate

Wisdom will not kiil u

Yeah. Soyinka should hurry on down to hell alongside Tinubu, Buhari, Robert Clark, Lai Mohammed, Pa Reuben & the lot of these old hypocrites...Yakubu Gowon inclusive. Their stakes in the Nigerian reality have been long exhausted

smart guy, he quickly Dodge embarrassment, after all small sense still for Obidiots

Datti is Wiser.. Wisdom is not measured by Grey hair.. There's a clear difference between intelligence and Wisdom..

lawnreigh1 This is wisdom at work. If our Icon is looking for an avenue to display his oratory and literary skills he can write more prose, drama and poems.

Agbado high chief Priest is no longer a global icon

'The man dies in him who keeps silent when it matters most.' Sadly, it seems the Man in my beloveth Prof is dead After 8yrs of turning the blind eye to oppression. It is most unfair of prof. Soyinka to apportion blames ElluP MrYakubu Obidients NotMyPresident electionfraud

Characteristics Of Fascist: Peter Obi And Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed By Richard Odusanya | Sahara ReportersThe word fascism comes from the Latin fasces, which denotes a bundle of wooden rods that typically included a protruding axe blade. In ancient Rome, lictors (attendants to magistrates) would hold the fasces as a symbol of the penal power of their magistrate. The first European fascist, Benito Mussolini, adopted this symbol both to recall the greatness of the Roman Empire and to reinforce his authority as the eventual dictator of Italy. Fascist regimes like his required their citizens to be as unified as the tightly bound fasces. Can't you guys find another topic apart from d 2023 labour party presidential candidates?
