Wole Soyinka and the disrespectful young
man in face cap
Lanre Babalola
Tosin Odunfa, the fellow who posed as the young man who ordered
Nobel laureate Professor Wole Soyinka to move out of his seat on a
plane has denied being the impudent young man.
Odunfa who works at EbonyTV made this clarification on his
twitter handle: TVTosin @TosinOdunfa some hours ago.
He said he was just trying to create a plausible scenario on why
the youths must rise up and defend their future from the
ageing-patriarchal society that doesn’t know the damage it is doing
to their future.
Read his tweet below and the reactions of some Nigerians to his
prank:

The real
#bobofine‘s
character was assassinated without trial. He needed a fall guy and
I volunteered through #Satire and I created a #PlausibleScenario todrive home my
point. #JeSuisBobofine #IamBobofine #YouareBobofine #WeAreAllBobofine #YouthandWomenArise

The story
was meant to help drive home the point that Youth have to rise up
to realize that there is a clear and present threat to their future
by an ageing-patriarchal society that doesn’t know the damage it is
doing to our future. Women are at risk too. #YouthandWomenArise

Tosin
Odunfa Said it in his page that he isn’t the guy. He only created a
scenario.
We cannot all swallow everything we see in the media when we’re not
Americans.
The University of Mannittawiw doesn’t exist. He didn’t sit close
to Wole Soyinka. He studied chemical engineering.

Uncle jimi,
the said reaction has been found to be false. The said guy, Tosin
Odunfa works with Ebony Tv and he has come out to say he was only
creating a scenerio. Besides, no Uni bears that name. Attached are
some twitter screenshots.

If I didn’t
know Tosin Odunfa, I would have at least googled ‘University of
Mannittawiw’. It hurts to see supposed media platforms run with
every social media post as news. It is a disgusting disgrace.

Kpekere.

LOL, Tosin
Odunfa that I know is a pleasant media personality who works at
EbonyLife TV. There’s no way that Tosin Odunfa doesn’t know about
Wole Soyinka like this comment on Tonye Cole’s post says. Lol

someone’s seat ! Who is tonye cole ?

The Tosin
Odunfa guy simply did an IQ test on our @Twitter ‘intellectuals’ and the
result did not come as a surprise, my only disappointment is that
the on line Editor of the almighty @GuardianNigeria had an IQ score of
70.
The good news is @GuardianNigeria

Odunfa is such a brilliant man. He already wrote a novel out of the
whole thing…Lol the signs were there but most of us didn’t notice
on time that he was just painting a scenario 
First of all, he’s not the man in quote
2ndly, there’s no University of Mannittawiw

The height
of clout chasing is when your university is in the hidden city of
Mannittawiw, on the mountain between Kuvukiland and Wakanda. By the
way Ogbeni Tosin, Broda Sikiru also had his PhD in Yoruba
Engineering from your university too

Mr Tonye
cole and other so called upright mother’s out there are really part
of the problem we are facing in this society. Imagine what mo abudu
said about Tosin.I believe prof wole soyinka tested the guy &he
passed. Prof is a man that wants people to always claim their
right.

How

update and muscle man turned out to be Tosin. Tosin present on
EbonyLife. Will Mo Abudu change her word or view on the issue?
Objectivity is KEY, this is a reminder.

Xtra@Extranessa45·Replying to @jeunjeun123 and 2 othersIt’s very
normal for some1 to mistakenly take anoda seat which isn’t theirs
but then if the rightful owner of the seat shows up and wants d
seat he has 2get up. People are different. Sm1 else will give the

Dear

will finally learn that not every Instagram post/comment can be
taken and reported as NEWS. Especially not by a respected national

Says the
man who in 2006 insulted the same Wole Soyinka anyhow because WS
criticized OBJ. The man who insulted Chinua Achebe in 2004 because
CA turned down a National Honour.

The
young man that told 80 year old Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka
to get up, move to the aisle and vacate the window seat for him on
a commercial flight is disrespecful and irreverant.We know it is
his right but it is not every right that u insist on
exercising.#wolesoyinka

Meanwhile, the search for the young man in the encounter with
Wole Soyinka continues. He is yet to identify himself and many
Nigerians want to know him
