His eyes gave him away. You can tell from his eyes that he was a no- nonsense boy, even at that age.

XVIER: WOLE PLS CAN YOU BE OUR PRESIDENT IN 2015?

Yes ...

Someday mine will be posted here on Nairaland.

I watched a documentry on discovery called "wole soyinka: child of the forest" i was so impressed by his life and other things....and understood why he worships a traditional diety.

How do you want me to believe that is Wole Soyinka in the picture. No resemblance.

I hope it's not poster's picture

Do you have a problem with this?

The end justifies the means always,you need to hear from his mates who went to university of ibadan with him,who he really was. He graduated from UI with a 3rd class,wasn't the brightest @ all then but was known for his fearless,selfless protests he started,per took. The first protest/riot that ever happened started by him and *forgotten his partner name*. They protested,when a full chicken that was meant for two was now meant for 6,7 or so sha. He is also the originator and initiator of the first fraternity but was for a good cause( helping each other academically,anything relating to studies),he was just like an activist,freedom fighter then but wasn't that a prowess academically. It was when he went to England,he restructured,refashioned himself and came out with a first class. So if you think he was born genius have a rethink.

Great men are not born great,they are made.

Wonderful man
