Since the whole world knows of my connection with that fraternity, it is essential that I state in clear, unambiguous terms that I am not involved in that public performance nor in any way associated with the sentiments expressed in the songs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike any other civic group, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/08\/19\/police-arrest-nine-suspected-cultists-at-handover-ceremony-in-oyo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pyrates Confraternity<\/a> is entitled to its freedom of expression, individually or collectively. So also, is Wole Soyinka in his own person. I do not interfere in, nor do I attempt to dictate the partisan political choices of the Confraternity. I remain unaware that the association ever engages in a collective statement of sponsorship or repudiation of any candidate. This is clearly a new and bizarre development, fraught with unpredictable consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition, let me make the following cultural affirmation. I have listened to the lyrics of the chant intently and I am frankly appalled. I find it distasteful. I belong to a culture where we do not mock physical afflictions or disabilities. Very much the contrary. The Yoruba religion indeed designate a deity, Obatala, as the divine protector of the afflicted, no matter the nature of such affliction. This sensibility is engrained in us from childhood and remains with us all our lives. It operates on the principle of mortal frailty to which all humanity remains vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of my favourite authors, about whom, by coincidence, I had cause to write quite recently, was CLR James, author of The Black Jacobins, Beyond A Boundary etc. I called him my ideological uncle. He suffered from Parkinson\u2019s Disease, but remained alert, lucid and combative for decades after the onset of the disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe interacted politically at the Tanzanian pan-African Congress, the Dakar Festival of Negro Arts, and a number of other cultural and political fora. We met frequently in his lifetime, dined together in restaurants, despite his challenge. It would be unthinkable, and a desecration of his memory to be part of any activity that mocked his affliction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that a further statement would be issued on the development after he had made further enquiries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elder statesman, Prof Wole Soyinka, has reacted to a viral video showing some purported members of the National Association of Seadogs, otherwise called Pyrates Confraternity, mocking the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in a song.
