Mehn this kids all looked alike, I can't even differentiate them except for their heights

Is it just me or are we having cuter kids this days.....no offense to wole and his siblings though

Wherever Wole's father is now, he would be proud, cause he raised a great man....

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.


*modified *

The three kids in that picture all grew up to be very successful in their own fields. It just shows that parenting goes a long way in determining the success of children.

Write-off someone because of mere looks in your own peril.

Just a few things can motivate one such as this archive.

Lesson:

-Don't throw away any child, because you can never tell his/her future
-Don't abuse any child, you may harden him/her and be his/her victim some day
-Don't judge by looks, it's very deceitful
-Don't discriminate against anyone, Angels appear in different forms
-Class is from within, and not outward appearance
-Useful education is not the ability to recite quotations, rather what you can contribute with your knowledge
-People who make the best speeches, pack less action. The great thinkers built the world

In all, looking at little Wole Soyinka who was not smiling from childhood and still doesn't smile, one would never think he's fit to be a celebrity, yet he is not just one, he is an institution and force to reckon with.

Where has positive role models gone in Nigeria recently, and not people showcasing naked bodies, sugar-daddies, baby-mamas, and ill-gotten riches to youths?
