He noted that despite several pleas from cabin crew and other passengers, the young passenger insisted on occupying his seat, telling Soyinka to vacate the seat and the literary icon reportedly obliged.

The post has, however, generated mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media.

Many Twitter users justified the young man’s action saying a younger Soyinka would have done exactly same, while others were of the opinion that the young man should have accorded him some respect based on his age and status.
