I admire this man so much until recently that I learnt he is an atheist.. Is this true?

Are atheists not humans?

Happy Birthday Wole Soyinka!!!
Re: Happy 80th Birthday To Prof WS (wole Soyinka) by Nobody: 8:44pm On Jul 13, 2014
Can there ever be another being as straightforward and honorable as wole soyinka among this generation? I'm yet to see that. This generation has youths suffering from low self esteem who depend on shallow things to 'survive'- intimacy, stolen money, cyber bulling, questionable movies, hard drugs etc. Very greedy, wicked and wasted generation!!!

OrlandoOwoh: 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.
Well said. I can't agree more cheesy

HBD to one of the greatest minds of our time...Prof. Wole Soyinka. But to be frank with myself and for posterity's sake,this is not the Wole Soyinka that I hear and read about while growing up as a small boy,this is not the Wole Soyinka that stood against Gen. Gowon's Genocide during Nigeria-Biafra civil war,this is not the Wole Soyinka that left this country to America without a visa because he criticized the junta and murderous government of Gen. Abacha. This Wole Soyinka is now in a state of quagmire,politically...too involved taking sides than making objective criticism. I was so disappointed when I read and followed the exchange of words Prof Wole had with Dame Patience Jonathan,despite the clear gap in their levels of education. Wole Soyinka should not have stooped so low as to exchange words with a market woman that found herself in top echelon of government affairs. I hope he realises this and smartly makes amends,cos if he continues like this,things will really get kinda messy!

You are a mad man. What's your business with Soyinka and his spiritual beliefs??
Aren't u a disgrace yourself for being a slave in your fathers land?

Soyinka was raised Christian but such intelligent mind cannot remain Christian for long, today he is a Pagan/Atheist devoted to Ogun. I can't see how this disturbs ur life
