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 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. |
