Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie And Wole Soyinka Pictured Together by OgaGist(op): 11:50am On Jan 26, 2019
Two writing giants from Nigeria, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Professor Wole Soyinka met and took a photo which the former shared on Instagram.

Sharing the photo, Chimamanda showered the Nobel Laureate winner with glowing words.

She wrote:

You are, for me, a guiding light:

Your courage. The ease with which you inhabit your skin, speaking your mind, unburdened by apology.

Your kindness and humour.

Your utter coolness.

The urgent, terse poetry of The Man Died, the exuberance of Ake; your faith in possibility, in adventure, in progress.

Yes indeed, ‘the mindless ones are neither the total sum nor the true face of humanity.’

Thank you, Prof.

Chinua Achebe was her role model. He was a storyteller too.

Soyinka on the other hand is a wordsmith.

Who else could use the phrase, "powerful cabal" to describe Babangida and his clique when they annulled the 1993 presidential election? That phrase held everyone spellbound!

Who else would refer to the ex governor of Zamfara as a crossborder paedophile? The man's English too much?

The man does not really like taking photos. You must be really adamant to force him into taking a picture.

Even journalists find it difficult to get him to take pictures after interviews.
