Wole Soyinka in red, with his fellow freshmen at the University College, Ibadan (Now University of Ibadan) in 1952 where he studied for 2 years before being awarded a scholarship to finish his B.A degree at the University of Leeds.

ogbeni just sharrap.

You probably don't know anything about him nor his books. You don't even know the founders, history,and idea behind the fraternity . All you heard is Wole started Pyrates and that's all what you dwell on
