If this is what you get after doing your google search then am afraid you are wrong or maybe u are connected to the wrong server... *or better still u are conducting your researh from a tribalist point of view*...

Because after doing my own research I realize that Prof. Wole Soyinka:

1. Was awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature, the first person in Africa and the diaspora to be so honoured.

2. He took an active role in Nigeria's political history and its struggle for independence from Great Britain.

3. In 1965, he seized the Western Nigeria Broadcasting Service studio and broadcast a demand for the cancellation of the Western Nigeria Regional Elections.

4. In 1967 during the Nigerian Civil War, he was arrested by the federal government of General Yakubu Gowon and put in solitary confinement for two years.

5. Soyinka has strongly criticised many Nigerian military dictators, especially late General Sanni Abacha, as well as other political tyrannies, including the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe.

6. he was a professor first at Cornell University and then at Emory University in Atlanta, where in 1996 he was appointed Robert W. Woodruff Professorof the Arts.

7. From 1975 to 1999, he was a Professor of Comparative Literature at the Obafemi Awolowo University, then called the University of Ife. With civilian rule restored in 1999, he was made PROFESSOR EMERITUS.

8. Soyinka has been a Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. In the fall of 2007 he was appointed Professor in Residence at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, US.

boron10: GEJ plus Ruben Abati can't stand Soyinka in a high profile debate let alone Nigerian first ever illiterate first lady.

kipesco: Soyinka has collected so much money from Rivers governor and promised to use English and Literature something to fight for Rivers governor. Hmmm he is now a politician and he is talking to the President and First Lady in a manner not minding he could be jailed for abusing the First Lady.

Bigcake: I still wonder why Wole is allowed to work freely. Shldnt he be locked up somewhr?

Messi j: For imposing cultism in our society, frm primary to higher institution. I usually ask, those killed by Boko haram, and wole inviegled cult, which are more?

jackbauersballs: PEJ's head would explode if she even began to attempt to understand what Prof Soyinka would say

I'm embarrassed on Prof's behalf,that he is being asked to debate with an Olodo that would have been getting steady F9 on his course

frankyychiji: how lower can d goatee go. He already stooped below low wen he engaged himself in a diatribe which he started with the first lady and anothers man's wife! prof Wo ole (see thief) shd be in oshodi market where he mates are! Market women.

chidindufrank: I wonder o.prof and english as if Wole and Soyinka are english words. To hell with his 18th century grammar.

Topiipii:
Is it a must that you have to post a comment? Do you have to show what utter slowpoke you are through your ridiculous post? If you have to refer to others posting on this topic as kids, it shows you're an old fool (since you're claiming to be a grown up). I don't know if the Prof. is corrupt as some people have said and I'm not in support of the statement he made concerning the first lady, but you should be ashamed of yourself and your ridiculous post.
P.S: You can find several short biographies of the Prof. all over the internet, you should also look for the dates that WAEC and JAMB were established. The information above is not only for you, but also for others who would let themselves be deceived into believing that Soyinka wrote WAEC exams nine times.
Finally, the word is INVADED and not ENVADED.

As for chidindufrank, frederal and others of their ilk, I'll suggest that you've been reading too much lies from your so called heroes; why not try and ask the truth from your parents and those alive during the war? Ask them how your fake legends were living then and why they ran away when it was obvious they were going to lose.

aND OF WHAT RIGHT HAVE YOU TO INSULT ME IF I MAY ASK?OF ALL YOUR GRAMMATICAL EXCELLENCE,ALL YOU CAN DO WITH IT IS TO SIT IN FRONT OF YOUR COMPUTER TO WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME INSULTING A FELLOW,WHERE HAS GOOD MORAL CONDUCT GONE TO FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, THIS COUNTRY IS REALLY IN DEEP SHIT.CALLING SOYINKA AND THE FIRST LADY TO A DEBATE AND THAT IS ALL THAT BORDERS YOU NOW BA?YOU ARE INDEED A DISAPPOINTMENT (APOLOGIES) IF THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN INSULT BT I COULDNT HAVE ADDRESSED YOU BETTER FROM YOUR UTTERANCES.SOYINKA GRADUATED WITH SECOND CLASS UPPER AND WHAT STOPS HIM FROM FINISHING WITH FIRST CLASS?ARRANT BALDERDASH.
Chike Obi is still a famous name in many circles in the southwest, I suppose the men who still praise him do so because he is a Yoruba man don't they?

Dollarmind:
JAMB? UNILAG? When did they create both JAMB and UNILAG? Are u ok? Anyway, Wole Soyinka graduated from the First/Oldest university in Nigeria - University of Ibadan (U.I) and also the University of Leeds at the United Kingdom. And, during his time, JAMB was decades from being created. I think you should ask your president, Jonathan, the same question. Let him tell you the school he went to and what his JAMB score was. Mofo....
Hmmmshwww....

kakachi: It is pointless to call for a bebate between Soyinka and PEJ.Those calling for a debate could as well call for
a boxing bout between Soyinka and Floyd Maywether or a wresling match between Soyinka and Undertaker(if them no go kill am)
It would have made a lot of sense if the purported debate is between Wole and other nobel laurets of the world or between
some brilliant nigerian professors.To the best of my knowledge Wole Soyinka has not being crowned the most intelligent man in Nigeria.(this is not intended to undermine his acheivements)My point is let the first lady be the first lady and the nobel lauret a nobel lauret.Or let Soyinka vie for the office of the president and make his brilliant wife the first lady.
