The feeling of resentment against the Igbo man by his Niger Delta brothers and neighbors is real and deep. But if examined dispassionately, you will discover that these false conscious and misguided activists are victims of ethnic and evil regimentation and prejudice; who carry on based on the stories they were told and who have not taken time to interrogate some of the things they have heard.
The ebullient and the restless Obidients have torn what is left of Soyinka’s reputation to shreds, deflating his ego and demystifying his personality. The dreaded lion seems to have lost its jewel and is now like a sheep in his demesne. Yes, “the man died in him” who tries to suppress the voice of dissent…

He has too many battles on his hands, and it is obvious his troops are already overstretched and battle weary. They, and their General, deserve our pity. Or maybe time will prove us wrong, which I doubt.
