Soyinka Shouldn’t Be Taken Too Seriously – Charly Boy

Published

on

Renowned singer and activist, Charly Boy has stirred controversy with his recent remarks regarding Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka.

In a statement, Charly Boy cautioned the public against taking Prof Soyinka’s words and actions too seriously, suggesting that the esteemed author, approaching 90 years of age, might be experiencing cognitive decline associated with ageing.

He expressed concerns about the vulnerability of Prof Soyinka to exploitation by politicians, citing the need for vigilance among the laureate’s inner circle.

Charly Boy shared his views on Instagram, cautioning that given Soyinka’s advanced age, some level of mental decline could be expected, and thus his words should be viewed with caution.

He wrote, “Prof. Wole Soyinka is aged over 80yrs, even tending towards 90yrs. For his age, some level of brain deterioration is not unexpected.

“His rhetorics and actions in recent times is suggestive of deteriorating brain disease, and as such he shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

“What we should be worried about as well-meaning Nigerians, is how his family and close friends can’t ward off agents of desperate politicians who are bent on exploiting his medical situation to their advantage, no matter how low it sinks the once respected Nobel laureate.”
