Prof. Wole Soyinka, Nigerian writer and Nobel Prize in Literature, received on Thursday at Casa de las Americas the Haydee Santamaria Medal, awarded by Miguel Diaz-Canel, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic.

The award was given on behalf of Cuba and at the proposal of the Minister of Culture.

As reported by the Presidency on X, Jorge Fornet, director of the Center for Literary Research of Casa de las Americas, in his remarks of praise, said that awarding Soyinka the medal that bears the name of that extraordinary woman “is an act of justice that honors us.”

After the ceremony, Diaz-Canel held a meeting with Soyinka, where he thanked her for his visit in such a complex moment for Cuba.

“It is the visit of a brother who has always been fighting for the most just causes,” the president noted.

The Haydee Santamaria Medal is conferred to national and foreign citizens and groups who, over the years, have shared the main objectives of the Casa: the enrichment, defense and integration of the genuine cultures of Cuba region and the entire South.

This event also celebrates Wole Soyinka’s 90th birthday and the 60th anniversary of his first visit to Cuba, where he has returned on several occasions.

If a particular tribe hates you just know you’re destined for Greatness!

Obidients will not like this...

Kongi is surely HARVESTing where he has shown. More grace and long live our own William Shakespeare.

I agree

Amaka dumbbug will want to poison him but she fail....

Useless old man

Wawu. If the Obidient or our brothers from one region starts hating you, God just opens showers of blessings. However, if they start supporting you, abeg run far away.

The legend who went to prison 22 months for the sakes of the Igbos deserves every bit of it.

Eunoiaa/Magnoliaa ... The one you hate passionately keeps getting worldwide recognition. Wole Soyinka is the most honored Nigerian ever. Man is so rated that his name will forever remain in the Nobel Prize Hall of Fame. There is Williams Shakespeare
There is Wole Soyinka
The W.S 🔥🔥🔥

You didn't mention Beremx, Nwanimo1, one Franchas and racoon. These lot are so dumb they deserve a honorary award of dummies! How will you hate Soyinka and the Yorubas just because your gbajue, feminine-voiced, weakling of a sham presidential candidate was denied a support? Dumb to the DNA people, who live on manufacturing fake products for people. Hating on a man that's add his bit to humanity. Hating on a tribe that's been kind enough to accommodate them so much and give them platforms. Well, there's their sister in Canada wanting to poison Yorubas and Benins. Such hate‐filled tribe. Ask them what offense have Yoruba for them, none except we didn't vote Obi. Okay why d'you want me to vote Obi when he was abysmal as a governor?

Who Jah bless, no one curse........

They should give him his award for Cultism and Electoral Malfeasance instead

Bastard

If a particular tribe hates you, you shouldn't be with them in one country

Congratulations Prof. Those hating you have lost their relevance. Envy and hatred are in their veins.

A cultist getting a worthless honour from a fourth world country is nothing to be proud of. We have more important things to do with our time.

That’s my biggest wish I done tire for Una complain and hatred towards everyone if I become president that’ll be my first thing just like BAT removed subsidy on the first day I’ll do the same 🤮

Cuba!! It's like we Yorubas also have an historical affiliation with Cuba.

Aregbesola spent billions of naira on pilgrimage to Cuba to propagate Ifa religion when he was governor. My elder bro was amongst the beneficiaries then. Going to Cuba from osun then was like traveling between Lagos and ibadan.

Shey na him dey market cuban cigar

Of course, the children of hatred and bitterness will continue to be sad.

However, before we got to the world, Honey was sweet; when we got to the world, we meet Honey as being sweet; when we leave the world, Honey will still be sweet; hatred, bitterness, or conspiracy will not stop Honey from being sweet. Those who are bitter will continue to die of bitterness, after all over three million of them once died of bitterness
