Pictures like this heightens my passion for education. See hw he looked in that picture. We see children like that everyday but they end up wasting away because of lack of education. Future presidents, scientists, professors rotting away due to poverty. I'll surely do all in my power to help such kids when I hammer. So help me God

The days of humble beginnings......back when men were little boys.


Its a testament to him that he rose from this seemingly humble background to become the global icon that he is today.

But no one has heard of his siblings. Just shows that kids might have the same parents but different destinies.

His elder sister,Tinuke is a qualified nurse who worked in various government health institutions before she retired.His younger brother,Femi is a professor of Medicine at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital.He also presided over the affairs of the Nigerian Medical Association in the 80's.

Great Wole himself,who would ever believe he'll turn to be the world famous Wole Soyinka,who would ever believe that this little local kid will be the one that white folks seek knowledge from,they need to embalm this guy's brain and put it in lab for people to study after he dies o,his brain must be quiet different from a normal human brain

His younger brother is equally great and internationally successful medical doctor and researcher. The major difference is the Prof Wole is more famous
