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.

Odunfa is such a brilliant man. He already wrote a novel out of the

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

It’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
seat 2the prof but if the guy did not thr’s nothg wrong with
that.
