I respect this man not just for his literary prowess but his championing of human rights is exceptional.
Few people in Nigeria today can speak their mind without fear or some sort of carefulness to avoid future contracts being cancelled.

Happy birthday kongi.

ijigaparadox:

People should always think before making any post.

ijigaparadox:

Tholuwaniey:

Am i??. I just wanna make the truth pellucid enough for everyone celebrating this Man... He's an African legend, A rare gem that every nation will pray to have as a citizen but all his good deeds were marred by his Singular act which is causing catastrophe in most tertiary institution, Communities, even secondary schools.. We can only overlook and ignore it but we can't Justify it

Rubbish! Do you know the reason why PC was formed? Do you know that PC pulled out of campuses more 30 years ago?

DOWHILE: And that will make u as intelligent as he is?

It would make me even more intelligent than him. After all, I would have added his magic to mine, at least mathematically. Lol

Happy Birthday to Wole Soyinka.

DOWHILE: All I can say is: No one is perfect. We shld try nd overlook one another's misdeeds sometimes. I urge u continue to admire him

I admire him so much... He is a great man... I pray he encounters God before he dies....

jennylove7575: The birthday no dey finish?

Great men's Bday like dat of Shoyinka no dey finish ooo.

WS is not an atheist. He is an adherent of African traditional religion, in which he worships different gods. He has often said Ogun, one of the gods, makes him muse of his literary prowess.

DOWHILE: All I can say is: No one is perfect. We shld try nd overlook one another's misdeeds sometimes. I urge u continue to admire him

He's not an atheist. ..he of course believes in the existence of God, but not via Jesus. ...

Tholuwaniey: PC are still in campuses Mr... they only claim BAN when they get caught.. even in secondary schools

. Cheiii....Bro take am easy.

Tholuwaniey: Yes he is Africa's greatest writer... but he's also responsible for most of our youths not replicating his feat and reaching his height cos Of the very misappropriated use of fraternity in our society today...Which he and his dick-headed group created!
happy birthday though

so you create a group for good purpose and some lowlives later turn it to something else you'll carry the blame Abi?




The amount of scumbaggery on this site is disturbing

Hbd sir,wishin US many more yrs ahead

excellentmomma: Is he really an atheist as people say. If true that's very bad then, let him change o and believe b4 it is too late. Happy birthday sir all the same.

Which should he believe?Islam,Christianity ,budhism,.........n whole lots a beliefs there

Tholuwaniey: PC are still in campuses Mr... they only claim BAN when they get caught.. even in secondary schools

Some people on campus and even secondary schools can claim to be PC, but the question is, are they recognized by NAS? Membership of NAS (PC) is not secret. They advertise it in newspapers for their admirers to join. These people must however be graduates with NYSC discharge certificate, and that are ready to defend humanity. The panel to interview prospective members is made up of intellectuals and academics.
Any undergraduate that claims to be a member of PC is a liar.

At 80, WS still looks fresh, cool and handsome, with a Sex Appeal that will make Ngozi's (Evergreen123) Panties soak...

For all you Niggers thinking He's an Atheist, what's your definition of Atheism?

He's actually an Ogun Adherent...just like Me too! As someone mentioned earlier, He worships Olodumare via Ogun, the Yoruba God of Iron, War and metallic Ore...

Why do we like to look for who to blame for our shortcomings. If pple decide to join societies its becos dey wanted too abeg. Great writer of our time. Bsides today we celebrate mediocrity not greatness. Happy birthday great one

Clerverly:

Oga mi, you're welcome back to NL.
There is no apian way to PC.

Tholuwaniey: I should carry the blame?? You've got no point bro

did u notice the question marl in front of my comment?




I asked if its proper to blame you if your brilliant invention was later used for evil purpose

It is only in Nigeria that a hiphop musician is popular than a Nobel Laureate winner. If this were to be the birthday of, say, Tonto Dike, this thread would have hit front page earlier than it did. It would have also reached 5th page by now.
