It is only Nigerian youths that awaits an 80- something year old man to lead a protest on their behalf!
It continues to know that ancient Nile valleys created the mythological narrative that appears today as a Jesus Christ story of some sorts of historical truth, which is the most obvious lie told.. Alhambric religion derived their one God from one of the egyptian pharaohs… Study kemet which today is called Egypt.. Stop allowing emotions, beliefs to override real intelligence and history of the previous civilizations along the Nile valley…
This is not only true for Nigerians, but of Black people as a whole.
True
He literally spoke my mind.
Forget the government be self reliant and self sufficient.
Refreshing to see a Nigerian from that generation that writes and speaks good English. A sad reminder that we have an illiterate in Aso Rock.
Shut the fuck up sir aren’t you one of the crooks with mad man resume! Stop fooling us and using your past accolades to divide us animal in human culture!!!!! Fuck off prof !!!!useless man! Na so so oyinbo and big words dey impress this fellow idiots and fools follow follow
🤐
This is partially true! You can tell from the way Nigerian youth portray themselves on social media.
One of the most educative clips I've seen on YouTube.
First to comment
😂 "this generation you are jobless "
Nonsense
This man never uses one word when a thousand will do.
Watin de do all una. Soyinka de burst on youth. His generation have failed Nigeria, especially the youth. The endemic problem is directly correlated to his generation abject failure. What did you expect? Make we hear word!
True
Prof.Wole Soyinka suggests that the instinct of innocence & lack of inhibition of CHILDREN and therefore their natural INNOVATIVE and CREATIVITY should be encouraged via various initiatives investment & involvement, he is doing the needful. Moreover he felt that some Nigerians Youths of nowadays, have become stiffled and less committed to taking hold revolutionary steps than their counter-parts & predecessors such LEADING lights like himself (Professor); in demanding their Constitutional Rightful place as active citizens, Stakeholders in the struggle, ensuring & involvement in integrity election processes, transparency in "good governance" ACCOUNTABILITY, as ACTIVE participants in ceasing political power from the current elitists, until recently. However, Prof. Wole Soyinka impressed on Nigerians Youths to continue with efforts such as the 'Not Too Young To Run Campaign' and the leadership of nationwide global grassroots mobilisation Town Hall campaign #SoworeRufai2019 of #AAC Party TIB Movement and Other Pres'I aspirant in 2019 general election, wishing the Youths the BEST for the 2023 Democratic Election.
Hard to believe he is 85 years old
An important and informative video like this has less than 20,000 views is enough proof of how lost our generation is. I didn't realize our elders have observed us this much, we need to do better as a people, if not for anything for the sake of our kids!
The leaders wasted our enthusiasm,This is the point
The message he conveyed was on self reliance and boldness in demanding that government performs its responsibility. The side comments should not be used as the topic unless you have a mischievous intentions, possibly to generate more likes and views. This makes you an internet troll generation members he mentioned.
Thanks to you
Again, not all children are creative. They are malleable and easily persuaded. Teaching creativity is still a matter under research.
Awesome conversation
This is total bullshit from Wole Soyinka you are the leaders who failed us and you breed us to fail our next GENERATION
And religion is the main cause!!
Talk too much, way too much!
Passiveness can be as much worse than ignorance.
Soyinka has that post independance classy Nigerian accent. Best Nigerian accent!
Prof, l think you are one of the illiterates, because you don't know the difference between an educated graduate and a PHD holder and illiterate or semi illiterate President PMB so you couldn't get of your narrow minded tribalist unclave, so see where change has brought us all today. Any lecture you give today about Nigeria the youth is null and void full stop.
How will the youth learn to be better when they were educated by watered down generations. Truth be told, the values have been diluted with each generation since the colonial times when the Professor was amongst the golden generation of Nigeria who were the educated and talented class of individuals that inherited Nigerias functional apparatus from the colonialists. It's from the set of people that we get all our heads of state except Jonathan and Yaradua (Who is a part of this establishment tbh) and in my opinion, Nigeria failed because they failed. Prof saying what he saying because he is worried but he should also realize that their failure to initiate active measures against the rot and decay of Nigeria has led to the mess today. If they progressed the country to a good position like their contemporaries did in Singapore, Korea, Dubai, Brazil and Vietnam, Prof would be lauding the brilliant and innovative youth of Nigeria as against trolling the produce of a failed system. Nigeria is where it is today because it's citizens failed her. Its as simple as that and trolling the youth shows poor class.
I can never believe this man untill you look for ways to erase or completely withdrawal various Occultic group you established. You have tactically destroying the life of youth today, the numerous styles of your establishment gave birth to Yahoo Yahoo etc. You need to correct this before it's late for you. You yourself go to some institutions and see what youths from reasonable family are doing to themselves. 'Oba to je ti ilu toro oruko e koni pare'.
You are the number one idiot for helping give us the most lousy government in history
Sadly because adults have bought in wholesale to this evil paradigm leaving the young with no foundation to start on. Because the young lack sophistication they won't know how to pour the new foundation so that it sets for generations. Their foundation will be weak with cracks and penetrable. But only because their roots are of weak trees. So weak they will not admit it. Leaving the young holding the bag. Sad.
If you doubt prof, please visit nigeria and engage with youth, you’ll realized Nigeria is still far from civilization!
…they can't afford a generator, "haq haq haq, eventuary, they dont know wah is going on"
Professor W-Soyinka……. Self Sufficient ,it's wat all Africa Need! I Hope these Youths Would listen….. Nice to listen your Wisdom….. Your Books are bless….. Thanks
You are complicit
The situation concern all west africa in my country Senegal nearly 65% of childrens born in rural erea end up beging on the streets to feed masters
not ALL the youth are making noise on the internet, but unfortunately THEY ARE making the most noise.
