Vice president Yemi Osinbajo had taken to Twitter to wish Prof Wole Soyinka a happy 86th birthday. He concluded the message by adding that the Nobel laureate should live to see the Nigeria of his dreams. The last sentence irked Twitter users who felt insulted. Here is the tweet and some of the replies he got:
Wishing professor wole soyinka to Live to see the Nigeria of his dreams is nothing but aMOCKERY AND A FALLACY.The fact is even WE in our early 40’s can never seethe dreams of our fore-fathers in another 40years. NIGERIA IS POPULATED ENOUGH TO BE DIVIDED INTO ANOTHER 4 COUNTRIES.

Can’t even try to engage you in a tweet. You are not who or what you claimed to be apparently. I guess we’ll have to be our own leaders because people like you in your generation couldn’t show us the way
