    Nigeria has had an incredible people.
    From Ken Saro Wiwa, an ordinary man who has taken the initiative to fight for his minority clan over the exploitation by the majority, he advocated for environmental conservation which was later said by the UN that it is required at least 30 years and a minimum amount of 1 billion USD to put things right.
    To Wole Soyinka, a charismatic man with the gift of the mind to move crowds(audiance) through his writings.
    Great people indeed.

    Despite his fame and his greatness and being incarcerated in his youth he continues to live in Abeokuta. Lesser greats would have lived in the West. You are my hero.

    A great writer. His book "The lion and the jewel" was one of a set of 3 books that I read for my GCSE literature.

      I would hate to have Morgan Freeman play him. If there is to be an American playing him James Earl Jones would be a better fit.

    No allusion was made to his views on religion and his choice of atheism. He is a role model.

    Point of correction; Prof. Wole Soyinka did not go to Abeokuta Grammar School, but Government College Ibadan, from where he went to the University of Ibadan.

    The narrators tone of speech is too similar to a news reporter's, this should be a documentary not a news report episode.

    WAKE UP. WAKE UP, you are still not hearing Soyinka. You are still learning from history, Sankofa. You are still not hearing Fela Kuti. For so many Nigerians don't know what Pan-Africanism ( Nebafrakani ) is let alone those that came before Soyinka. Like Duse Mohammed Ali that worked with Oguntola Sapara. It seems many are still manipulated by religion and can not read the writing on the wall. Yoruba language and ancient Egyptian ( Khamat ) are sister and brother, Fela name the group Egypt 80 and said to study Khamat and many are confused at what I'm saying. They go about suffering and smiling.

    • @randybridgeman5050
      @randybridgeman5050 5 лет назад

      You say that the Holy Bible is a hoax and i say you're a joke. If GOD hasn't removed the scales from your eyes which would allow you to understand its contents, the Holy Bible will be foolishness to you or anyone with a similar disposition. (Read 1 Corinthians 1:18 & 1 Corinthians 2:14). But you're not without hope for GOD loves even those who reject Him and His Word. See Romans 10:9 and John 14:6 to find out the way one can come to GOD for eternal life. Best wishes.
