Obasanjo Ambushes Wole Soyinka On Olumo Rock

This is a melodramatic opinion piece by Tunde Odesola about the strained relationship between Olusegun Obasanjo and Professor Wole Soyinka. Humanity oscillates between extreme opposites; darkness paints the beauty of light; fear skirts the periphery of bravery; ugliness envies beauty; falsehood stalks truth, death ambushes life; good wrestles evil; all in an everlasting tussle. And science cements this eternal truth into reality, combining negative and positive poles to produce light. The ubiquitous beauty of social media is also its blight. Social media, a nonphysical marketplace of ideas where information is served online among human communes, is a bittersweet leveler.

Worried by the increase in the level of corruption among Nigerian politicians, a native doctor from Delta state has weighed in on the ‘best’ option to curb the looting trend. The native doctor who took to social media to share his opinion – said that the best way to rule a country like Nigeria is by using spiritual powers so if anyone loots and tries to run away from the country, the oracle will kill his family. Some Nigerians have argued that using the traditional way is the ”only” way to reduce corruption in Nigeria because shrine is the only office that politicians are really afraid off. It would be difficult for public office holders to siphon public money or abuse their office if they are sworn in with their deity, like ‘Ofo’ in Igbo or ‘Ogun’ in Yoruba.
