Happy birthday Prof !
You are indeed a true nigerian and african
The one and only kongi as you are fondly called
Tho most of our leaders are thieves and lairs,
You stand distinct among all
No wonder the international communities believe every of your submissions about nigerian than the actual leaders
A symbo of a detribalised nigeria
Once again happy birthday sir.

Chris Oyakhilome was preaching that everyone was created to be a model in looks---- this is the man that should be saying that, everything about Prof. Wole is natural & real; his looks, ideas, works & his fans. Not some jelly haired man!
Happy birthday to a PRIDE of Nigeria!

I thought he was born in Enugu
I once had a misfortune to date an Enugu girl and she was adamant that Soyinka was one of Enugu children


clearly, I was duped beautifully angry

Re: Professor Wole Soyinka Turns 78 Today-a Poem For Wole Soyinka by criticalmind(m): 5:07pm On Jul 13, 2012
I will be sincere and frank here. I really admire Soyinka's scholarship, erudition and intellectualism. However, i must say that i have perception of him as a an opportunist and double-faced. He hates religion with a passion and he has litle patience to accomodate criticism. In Literary world, he is not any more knowledgeable than Achebe. His Novel Prize notwithstanding,some scholars insist that his writings are more 'western' than 'african'. In human rights activism, he is not any more reputable than the late Gani Fawehinmi. We all remember how he fled the country during the 'Abacha era' while the very bold activists remain to suffer. But i have no personal grudge against him whatsoever.
