Kid Approaches Wole Soyinka During Train Ride, Asks For His Autograph (Photos, Video)

A small boy walked up to Nigerian Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka and gave him a piece of paper to sign an autograph for him, IgbereTV reports.

The kid, his father, and Soyinka were all on the new speed train that plies Lagos, Abeokuta, and Ibadan.

Wole Soyinka signed on the piece of paper, and noted the date and place that the signature was given.

Sharing photos and a video of the event on Twitter, the kid's dad identified as Alli-Balogun H. Lekan wrote:

He should have asked for his blessings instead. Autograph is appreciated overseas not in Africa
The paper will soon go to the bin but his elderly blessings will always follow him.

Probably his parents.

Bullshit, 20 years from now, that paper would be a collectable item $$$$

And the man is traveling and doesn't have time for BS advice, use Google instead.

Wao
That is so cool.

Unlike some men who would prefer Wole Soyinka spraying some cash to his autograph.

The child has been exposed and enlightened to the good side of life from childhood. I love the father and son

This small boy has chosen Wile Soyinka as his role model. Some lazy youths’ role models are Hushpuppy and Invictus Obi, two international fraudsters

Lol its obvious the kid is from parents who have good heads on their shoulders. If it was a kid from parents who breed like pigs and produce potential recruits for 1 million boys, you'll hear the kid say "opoor". grin and he'll probably ask prof Soyinka for money.

If God tells u to ask for one thing he would do for u instantly,what will it be? Answer:MONEY.(for many Nigerians.).The little boy probably sent by parents has left adults with great food for thought .Philosophers will understand and interprete the request of the kid better while shallow thinkers will see it as stupidity.

Well staged!
As far I'm concerned,Nigerians don't ask for autographs rather they beg for money.

Those who are used to waking up their parents with kunfu kicks think it is a norm in every society. tongue
I think Soyinka was lucky not to have been approached by those kind boys because they are breed for drug trafficking and armed robbery from baby factory region, boys who introduced your money or your life into our innocent society. He would surely have placed gun on him and ask him to choose his money or his life

Jonathan revived the rail system, some worked in his tenure and other completed, still completing in buhari, it’s should be a continuous government not government of comparison. It’s getting stale. All of them bad we know. But we segregating is bad

I have gradually bt definitely come to the realization that Nigeria isn’t a civilzed country. We are only deceiving ourselves.

It is a great shame. The whole country needs a mindset change starting from any of the major blocks that influence social behavior and development and economic growth and development. By major blocks I mean leaders or youths or intellectuals or corporate group etc..

We are seriously behind true civilization not in money bt the social behavior/attitude, education, responsibility and correction, economic development, infrastructural development, political development and accountability.

60% of Nigerians behave like hooligans and even barbarians. A fraction of that do it when triggered into bandwagon mentality.

Unfortunately, Buhari has no economic sense to understand that. He has been feeding on government money since he left secondary school with zero business.
His APC party also don’t believe in private ownership of businesses. Check out Lagos and other states that they have governed since 1999 to see.
