When he won his "First" Nobel "Price"?

When did he win his "Second" "Price"?

Iliteracy is afflicting a lot of people these days.

How many Nobel prizes has he won? If it is only one as I think,, your caption should read thus:

Wile Soyinka Shares adorable photo of 1986 when he first won his Nobel price.

Soyinka was jailed by the Nigerian government in 1967 during the Biafra war just becuse he stood up and spoke up in support of your ancestors.

You need to enrol in some history lesson.

You ingrate, son of ingrates

@2chukwu,you're contradicted, blinded and bound by,first,your prejudice against the Yoruba.Second,by your poor knowledge of Soyinka as a humanist and activist.And,third,you're bound by your inability to see beyond your nose.In short, your narrow-mindedness.
You just went gung-ho about the failings that are not Soyinka's. How much of his works have you studied?
He easily could have won the Nobel Peace Prize.He,in company of the late British philosopher, Bertrand Russell,and other activists, campaigned against nuclear arms.
This is a man who's had his own share of suffering in Nigeria. Much of his lifetime has been spent as an exile. From his imprisonment in 1967 to the dark era of Abacha.

First Nobel Prize winner in Africa.

Achebe never smelt that prize throughout his life.

Achebe will perhaps never ever smell it even if given a second life.

History has a sense of humor and has an uncanny way of repeating itself.William Shakespeare, same initials with Wole Soyinka, was the first to really write poetic plays after Christopher Marlowe had pioneered it. The world would wait another three centuries or thereabout to really relish this kind of literary craft.
So,in.a sense,Wole Soyinka is Shakespeare reborn.

Illiterate.

How do you measure greatness?

Soyinka wrote more books, was more versatile (writing in all the genres) and even beyond as a scriptwriter and a musician. Soyinka has more awards, including the most coveted award in Literature (the Nobel Prize). And all these, in spite of being 4 years younger than Achebe.

Before you argue with me, better get your facts right. Today is Saturday, I have a lot of time on my hand.
