Did You Know Wole Soyinka Does Not Have An Academic PhD? by ChrisOD: 8:16pm On Jul 17, 2013
Did you know Wole Soyinka does not have a PhD?
He was lucky to become a full professor in those days
Nowadays, he could not have become a prof without a PhD
But who first made him Prof without a PhD sef? I guess it was one of those SW universities most likely OAU grin grin grin grin grin grin
Then the oyinbo universities were bamboozled by that OAU gesture to continue to use him as a prof
Or did he use dagbo certificate to bamboozle Oyibos?

Chris Ode. How many people in your entire generation has PHD? Again,how many people in . . . Won an award let alone a Nobel prize? Your goatluck plus his calamity patience multiply by 1000 can never atain the feat that WS has attained. Leave it. Don't touch it. File be.
