He is 3 years older than Obasanjo, yet looks 15 years younger than Obasanjo.

He is 8 years old than Pastor Adeboye, yet he looks 5 years younger than Pastor Adeboye.

He is 10 years older than Buhari, yet looks 20 years younger than Buhari.

He is 18 years old than Tinubu, yet looks 5 years younger than Tinubu.


It's not by his effort, only our Father in Heaven distributes such Grace.

Happy birthday to the founder of cultism in Nigeria
Na wetin them teach me for Civic education

Yes, he is. And he has no apology for that. If you allow yourself to be killed by Cultists, then that is your business.

Your Civil Education teacher must be MAD.

Afonja laureate

We celebrate him. We celebrate intellectual militancy, ingenuity and courage.

When he was awarded the Nobel Laurel, while he was being celebrated by Africans, US & Europeans, right in Nigeria, some people turned the Nobel Prize to a subject of enmity deriding the award and awardee. They called the award a Toxic Waste dumped in Nigeria.

They said so many things out of bitterness, frustration and jealousy. If the award had come from a local organization based in Nigeria, they would have said they were marginalized , victimized and rigged out of the award.

The people from the region who fought Soyinka because of the award also fought MKO Abiola, Obasanjo and now Bola Tinubu.

Soyinka is victorious over them as the elemental powers fought them. Soyinka outlived them victoriously.

Happy Birthday sir.

If estimated 13,000 people can sign petition against Reno Omokri from that region, over 1,000,000 people from that region would sign petition register against Soyinka if he should make his personal statement on the election.

The battle he fought against them because he won Nobel Laurel is still fresh in his memory.

This man didn't tear his green card as he said he would if Trump wins.

And his support of Buhari in 2015 was disgusting.

Wole Soyinka, William Shakespeare Reborn

By the same initials, Wole Soyinka, just like William Shakesoeare, has transformed his aesthetic and artistic landscapes.

Christopher Marlowe was the first to explore the possibility of poetic playwriting. But it was Shakespeare who perfected the art. Wole Soyinka, with the spirit of Shakespeare, has transformed poetic playwriting in this part of the world and fed the world with it without the impingements of culture and other biases. The world accepted him because of the originality of his genius. It's the same way, the world couldn't resist the creative story telling ability of Chinua Achebe.

Soyinka is the last vestige of that generation that put African art and writings on the world map. He may not be around for another 20 years, but his memory and efforts will live after him.

* And, to that mentally deficient mortal who claimed that Soyinka started cultism in Nigeria, it's preposterous. One of the ills that assail Africans is the animal mind they carry. Can we not sieve fraternity from evil and clandestine associations? I'll say it again: Africans are the most stupid people in the world. They are stupid because they don't want to learn and look for solutions out of their current subterranean lifestyle. They despise anything that challenges their self-imposed animal minds.

I thought he was an atheist?

And I don't think he looks younger than pastor adeboye... all his head is whitish grey, but pastor adeboye isn't.
