Well said Wole, he,s an idiot, if he convened the SNC just after the Oputa Panel we would have avoided this present ethno-trbal killings by the herdsman in the north.
Wole Soyinka.. With due respect, I honor you always but WHY we condemned Awolowo is A: As a minister, yes he is now a minister to the federation, B: As a minister, why the then did he chose to punish IGBOs for the idea of total Blockade for the biafra and give 20pounds Only to the biafra no matter how you own in the Bank, If he Awolowo is a good man for the Biafra., he wouldnt have punished the Biafra as he did to the benefit of the Yorubas... GOD BLESS BIAFRAS AND NDIGBO amen

If a rapist comes into your house, then while raping your daughter, and you have a gun on your hand, would you try to find a non-violent solution to your problem? What if the ...
... rapists intend to kill u after the rape? U will go for nonviolent solution that prevents the rape and death of your family? The only reason to talk to the thieves for

Building a fence around ur house, & insisting that no thieves should cross it, does not constitute violence on the side of the homeowner.

Nice to see Drs. Gate and Soyinka on the same stage - Two great literary minds of our time.
On the issue of Biafra, I don't think we should mince word in regard to the fact that, Ojukwu, out of sheer disregard to all voices of reasons both within and outside Nigeria, rushed to declare the biafran civil war. Just like Ben Gbulie said, Ojukwu should have delayed for a non-violent solutions.
