Can we also see soyinka's House? ![]() I'd love to see how his home and its surrounding neighbourhood looks like ![]() Can any RoNu oblige me? ![]() NOTE: I remember he cried out about fulani herdsmen attacking his farm and stuff at his backyard that year . . . So it's perfectly okay to show us the forests and bushes around his home too. It won't surprise us one bit ![]() |

Bitter Obituarists celebrating a man that struggled all his live to achieve what Wole Soyinka achieved yet he couldn't I wish I can abuse him they way IPOBidients attack others but I'm from a sophisticated region where custom doesn't permit us |

Ola9ja23:Honour the challenge. Soyinka vs Achebe. A good comparison thread for it. You think it's by writing to sweet talk to the colonialist? Or by betraying the agreement to sabotage mere award from the oppressors and taking the award? Nah!. Literature is heart. You write blunt, you maintain integrity!! |
