That man is the reason why we have Federal Road Safety Corps today in Nigeria.
Professor started it in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Mr Jelil Adeyemi was the first official driver to Professor then...
It was Oyo Road Safety, later to all Southwest states before it metamorphosed to Federal Road Safety Commission , now Federal Road Safety Corps.

Every good things Nigeria is enjoying today started in our region...if I should be counting them...won po gan.

Jakumo:
This might be true. I stand 6 foot one inch, and Wole Soyinka stands at least 6 foot 4 inches. I know this for a fact, having been surprised at his towering physical height and athletic bulk when I first saw him at that time.

Jakumo:
Ogun is the God of Iron who presides over the activities and destinies of blacksmiths and hunters in Yoruba tradition, just as Sango is the God of Thunder who harnesses the formidable power of nature when the skies turn grey and the ground trembles to the sound of inbound rolling thunder.

This must have been before Tinubu betrayed Abiola after June 12.

The ayederu man has always been betraying Yorubas since before he used ori olori to enter Chicago.

Mathematically this translates
Mu² = Mu *u

Next time try
(Mu)² = (Mu) * (Mu)

Something must be misaligned. Either in terms of where either of you were standing, or vantage point or age. Because I have also stood beside him and he cant be any where near 6'4. But the difference, and why I added age as a factor, is that I stood beside him in his old age.

Note that Abacha and IBB were very short.

Wotowotoman:
Do you know that he’s 91? 🤔

Jakumo:
As humans age above 60, their physical height can in some instances diminish to less than their earlier lifetime's stature, due to a subtle curvature that develops in the spinal column of some individuals, and the slight compression of the cartilage disks that separate the backbone's individual vertebrae bones.

My sole encounter with Wole Soyinka was decades ago, and he towered above my 6 foot-one height, at that time. Now that you mention it, there is a slight forward stoop in Kongi's stance, as can be discerned from recent video footage as the man resolutely proceeds north of 90 years young.

This man always associate with evil people. Tufiakwa. Won't be surprised to see a photo of him Adolf Hitler.

Do you believe in or practice African Traditional Religion?

Jakumo:
The credence I assign African traditional religion is anchored in a recognition of the moral compass provided for believers by those ancient modes of worship, much in the same way that the Holy Bible's Ten Commandments could be regarded as a universal code of conduct distilled over centuries, for adherence by all who seek harmony with others by displaying compassion and refraining from inflicting harm.

A traditional African hunter who sneaks through the forest stealing animals from the traps set by others, has transgressed Ogun's statutes.

A person who deliberately harms others with premeditated acts may be warned to desist and repent for fear of invoking the wrath of Sango.

muriunited:
You have been brainwashed by your slave master, who tells you Abacha is evil?

oyeb15:
This picture is photoshopped. Tinubu used to wear awo cap.

He started wearing that 8cap a year to his reelection as Lagos governor.

Some people were still trafficking heroin in Chicago at this point

Kobicove:
No I don't know, I thought he is 23

nairalanda1:
Lol, it was more like helping launder money from heroin trafficking , not actually handling the goods.

Still a crime either way.

givedemwotowoto:
Was Pablo Escobar handling the goods? Was Maduro handling the goods?

nairalanda1:
Didn't I say it was still a crime? Or are you now saying money laundering is not as bad a crime as drug trafficking?

Hmm, okay

givedemwotowoto:
You were caught trying to launder the image of a drug baron, don’t be a coward now, own up to what you did, we know that’s what you tell yourself so you can codedly support them. It’s ok just own up that’s all

brain54:
I will give it a last try...


But that's it. For the sake of humanity. At over 40 pushing 50 the guy is already too old to learn anything new anyways

You know what they say about a fool in his 40's

Heaven knows I tried!

Jakumo:
Wole "Kongi" Soyinka, an African Lion in the Winter, whose storied life straddles the nebulous demarcation between mythology and history.

Over 90 yet still in robust health thanks to a lifetime hiking rainforests and savannas alongside fellow hunters and barefoot philosophers.

Wole Soyinka, a prolific literary icon for the generations in Africa, and far beyond her tumultuous shores where the sea meets the sand.

I was privileged to have crossed paths with this physical and intellectual giant once, many moons ago, when he pulled up at the wheel of an olive-drab Jeep and poured fourth traditional libation to mark the denouement of a chronicle not unlike his own.

sweetjohn:
To the Yorubas, this Soyinka would be remembered as a noble laureate winner but to the rest of Nigeria and Africa, he will be remembered as a tribal bigot, supporters of evil and cultist and to the west (especially US), an ungrateful idiot and a waste of the prestigious laureate award.

Jagabanfromcali:
He have always wanted to belong , he have always wanted to be on the side of the powerful, he loves the good things of life women , fine dining etc , that was never a man of the people like all those South American or South African writers
