When recently, the popular playwright and essayist spoke at the formal inauguration of his Foundation- The Wole Soyinka Foundation, a retreat haven for writers, I told a friend that no doubt Professor Wole Soyinka was just about to provide a pragmatic proceedure that would further clearly reveal and take care of the likes of the the most pathological lier in Osun, amongst other liers scattered all over the country.

Soyinka spoke on his fresh “vengeance” against “unprovoked assault of public lies” directed against him. Though, he focused on his personal concern, but when his calibre writes, you can bet that ideas therein fit commonly and generally.

I share Soyinka’s sense, describing the vomit and urine repugnance befeating of the personality of the man that thinks he could get what he lost on August 9, 2014 at the ballot in Osun through shameful tales of fabrications and fallacies.

 I am in sync with the Nobel Laureate that it’s time that attempts were made in the right forms to purge our society of “lies of staggering impudence, especially considering the fact that, in most cases, both victims and their traducers are still living.”

Really, there is the need for a “ritual of public purgation where both sides – such victims of lies and the traducers, are brought together before the public tribunal for the world to know the truth.”
I cannot wait to spectate in this “public tribunal” that Wole Soyinka has taken liers like the ones we have in Osun, as well as others to; in his latest and nastiest book: InterInventions, Between Defective Memory and Public Lie, A Personal Odyssey in The Republic of Liars. The book is a 130 page work.

I hope we would discuss and contextualise it as the case may be in Osun. This would happen with you folks, once I had flipped the pages. Stay ‘tuned’, please.
