- Professor Wole Soyinka is known to be an activist who expressed himself through literary artworks and even received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1986.
Now, he is 90 years old and President Bola Tinubu has renamed the National Arts Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos, after him.
According to the President, Soyinka is one Nigerian whose influence transcends the country’s space and who inspires people around the world, explaining that since his youth, he has been a vocal critic of oppression and injustice wherever it exists, from apartheid in South Africa to racism in the United States

Congratulations to professor Wole Soyinka,my most admired person in the world, you're the repository of Africa culture..To me, you're the best example of how human being should live his life.I wish you sound health for the rest of your stay on this planet earth ❤
The greatest challenge we have, about the youths, is the lack of their desire, to learn, thinking they know. Can you even imagine their comments, on this issue been discussed & these are people, that wants to rule Nigeria. What came out, of some of them, been absolved, into governance?
Just shut up your mouth
Your youths are wasted lazy generations. They descended so low by stealing anything visible. They're total Boneheads!
I hope you're not referring to obidients as the easterners???? Why emphasis on Biafra.... I think you may really be the one who is seriously locked up in political and tribal sentiments unfortunately....
I'm may not be as educated as some of you but i know for sure when one is right or wrong. Being wrong doesn't take away his accolades but the fact remains that he's wrong this time around. He didn't behave like an elder statesman. After one year, he's yet to say anything on Tinubu's administration like he did on previous administrations before him
You're making a mistake,if someone says something that you don't like, does that take away his accomplishments? Just likes a best student in a class you want to deny him of his prize because you dislike what he did somewhere else.Professor Wole Soyinka is a treasure not only Nigeria but in Africa,we should be proud to have him with us as a Nobel laureate,a feat that would take some people years to accomplish
Wole Soyinka and all Tinubu praise singers are disappointment to honesty and integrity.
It's disheartening to see Wole Soyinka condescending from Nobel Laureate to Professor Gbajue.
Wole Soyinka just because of financial and political patronage turned to a praise- singer to Tinubu a drug baron and an American ex- drug convict.
Wole Soyinka's days are numbered on earth and that's why he is so desperate to acquire ill gotten wealth from Tinubu a drug pusher and an ex- drug convict.
We refuse to be fooled
What do I expect from bitter Ibo Isiagu
Mr Oma, You're well read,i love your presentation
Its a pity, that some of the youths will not even attain nor achieve, what soyinka & the likes have achieved or where are the Soyinka/Achebe etc. will be of tomorrow?
NO, they don't need to attain or achieve what Soyinka achieved for them to have a better life. What has Soyinka achievement gave to youths in Nigeria? Someone who is backing certificate forger can't be respected in any shape or form. I pity you! You better fight for your own offsprings and leave Soyinka alone.
@@OlaDuni-vk2csperfect response, I don't really know how black people think, most black people reasoning are upsidedown. People invented cars, planes, telephone and many other inventions that has helped humanity and advanced this planet, yet they were humble and quiet, we the black people must learn to be quiet and humble in this life, go to China and see what they were able to accomplish in 20 years, we're here talking about poetry while others are miles away in science, technology and Artificial intelligence.
@OlaDuni-vk2cs Nigerians youths are well saturated criminals. Go to other countries with the same postcolonial independence, they have gone for good 👍 Bone head Nigeria youths 😮
We love and respect Wole Soyinka, some may not like him cos he is not Achebe but that is their problem.....Happy Birthday Prof, more grease to your elbows!
Thank you.
Bigot must act like one.
Obidients don't have respect for elders
You mean to a cultist
Does he have respect for himself?
Respect is reciprocal .
Badly brought up children like Dr Abati said. Prof legacy is way and beyond.
You mean the elders that are into corruption and they have handed that legacy to the "indomie generation" that Sam Omatseye is relishly calling out☹️. Or elders that do not stand with the truth or speak the truth because of a favour done to them?
The only respect money not human being oooo
You can't really blame the obidients because the bitter generation didn't give them adequate education and they didn't secure their destinies by bequeathing a secured future to them. I only pray that president Tinubu wont disgrace heroes like prof Soyinka by not doing the right thing for this country. Obidients please drop your phones at least four hours a day and read books!!!
Hello.Happy birthday to you 🎂 💛 ❤ 💓 💗 💕 .l really appreciate it ! 🙏 Take care! 🎉
Oga, practice what you preach. Yes he has written many books fighting corruption but the question is he practicing what he is preaching?
A true legend
TVC talk.
We don't want to know anything about him..... it's not necessary. Who does knowing him help?
It shows your father who has not make any impact in his life and around his community, reason you cannot appreciate Professor Wole Shoyinka
@@Sholaades5145 What a wickedddd response. gboosa to you 😄
@@Sholaades5145 He is very irrelevant. (Shoyinka). Take it or leave it.
@@Sholaades5145 Appreciate him for feeding his family???? God forbid.
@@Sholaades5145is it by force to appreciate Soyinka? abeg park well, people are talking about AI, robotics, supercomputer, advancement in science, medicine etc keep dwelling in the past, the world has far gone beyond poetry, reading novels etc, they belong to yesterdays.
I do not blame the youth or the so call Obidients but our system who wasted them by not giving them proper education and high level of intellectual development. Yes of course they have not read many of Soyinka's works neither his antecedents. Even those of us i will call fringe generation who tasted few good things in education before the total collapse only have a glimpse of the Man Soyinka the great so you can understand why these young men and women would never see the golden pearl in Soyinka but a "mere gold-like painted spoon". Until we go back to build solid snd functional education for pur young ones the succeeding generation would even not care to know when was Nigeria gain independence.
You guys that have your so called proper education should compare yourselves with your counterparts from Singapore and then tell me what you scores are? Idiots everywhere.
I read somewhere that in ancient China, the highest possible position was a scholar and the lowest was acting.
I don't know whether it is true or not.
Every generation comes with their own, it is not only in Nigeria that literature & poem seems to be taking back sit among new generation. New generation are dealing with Generative AI, Supercomputers, Quantum computers, Space explorations, etc. It is insult to call a generation Indomie.
You dey mind them, backward people
There are many aspects life,art, science, philosophy and technology are all branches of the same tree
Do Obidients know anything about?
The youths are not stupid as you claim, for to say that they don't know Soyinka is an insult to the truth.
We know 'has been professor Gbajue' and we don't care much about him.
There are countries whose nationals get at least 2 Nobel prizes EVERY YEAR in impactful aspects of life that moves the entire world forward and you don't see these laureates making as much noise.
I live not too far from 2 Nobel peace prize holders in Chemistry and Physics and as brilliant as these guys are you hardly ever seen them on the pages of newspapers or on TV dragging respect with the younger generation. .
Let this has-been Aparo hunter go and sit down quietly somewhere in the back. Brilliance doesn't drag to be recognized or respected.. Neither is it shoved down people's throats. The relevance of his 1986 award doesn't matter in today's world. We have other more impactful laureates in Literature than Prof Gbajue' today and we don't see them in their countries dragging with their younger generation. The man is egotistical.
Who has he mentored? How many of his mentees have got Nobel prizes? What foundation has he laid for Nigeria to benefit from after he dies in the next 20 yrs?
I understand if his people regard him as a deity. I am not into deity worship so waive me from the required stupidity of submitting to his arrogance and pride.
The fact is Professor Gbajue was yesterday's brilliant nobel laureate and today's ignorant political pundit. Obasanjo summarised the man's contribution to politics WELL.
It is sad that despite you leaving abroad, you're still daft to this unbelievable extent. Tell me 5 countries in the world that produce 2 Nobel Prize winners every year? The business of literature is different from that of Chemistry and Physics. If nobel prize winners in Chemistry comes out to speak all the time, then his laboratory is empty. Get sense pls
You lack sense whoever you are.
Ibos are the ones who doesn’t appreciate Soyinka bcos of politics
Evil is evil, this is why Igbos fears God than the way you people worship Elderly person than God
Nobody appreciates nor respects an elder statesman like Wole Soyinka who sold his conscience because of money.
Nobody blame you. You're working for Tinubu
This guy is an example of what you’re talking about. He think but he doesn’t reason.
Happy birthday Prof...The icon...
What is this Omatseye talking about Nigeria. It is a failed state .Soyinkas generation destroyed Nigeria and looted all the treasuries. What is there to read about Nigeria minus looting,stealing, nepotism, religious fanaticism, killings, almajiri, illiteracy etc.He was a great writer then but he has abandoned truth and is dinning with the main oppressors of the same people he claimed he stood for then.
Most of the people who criticize him now acknowledge and respect his achivements and many were his students in their way of thinking and some mebers of the confraternity that he startreted, the Pyrates! But he mis-spoke and that is why he was challenged and taken to task by the youths. This man questions people's knowledge of the history of Nigeria. His and our generation who read and know the history of Nigeria have left a country that is progressively dysfunctional and discriminatory for the youths of today. Prof. Soyinka questioned the status quo all his life almost to a treasonable point and we werre happy he did. We are in an age that he prayed and worked for, an age where anyone can be questioned. He mis-spoke and has been selective in a suspected tribal way at a time wherre the masses are groaning under very heavy weights. He took Jonathan to task at a time Nigeria was far beter, but he has not spoken now in these killing times because Tinubu is his friend? The Obidients are Nigerian youths who are ready to work for change. They took the name of a man who spoke to their experience but does not control what they think. They are youths who for the first time are coalescing across tribal lines agianst the chronic robbing of their destinies by the generation of the guest on this program. From the way he is speaking, he does not know the pain the youths are feeling. Our youths are all over the world, and doing well. many of them are the Obedients. No matter what, his generation are passing away, we hope they will be wise not to destroy their legacies with biased expressions.
Old tribalist
TVC has become a nuisance
A nuisance? Then you are a fool if you can't see the points raised here
Like your father Nnamdi azikiwe
Like your father Nnamdi azikiwe
You can as well stick to your Harrass TV and don't have to watch TVC!!
T V C has become a nuisance
Sam go and sit down with your bigotry.
. . .Omatseye should stop blaiming the younger generation for not reading more of Wole Soyinka's writings because the younger generation are not interested in those wrtings rather they are more interested in fantastic developments and advancements in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. This so-called "indomie"generation is also not interested in essays, poetry, stage plays etc. Never must we blaim this generation for lack of interest in "history" as an important, subject, rather blaim the military that removed history as a subject from Nigerian school curriculum. I sincerely respect Professor Wole Soyinka for being an extraordinary expert in his chosen field of literature; he is just unique and Nigerians within and in DIASPORA are proud of him. Happy 90th Birthday and long life in good health to Prof.(Emeritus) Wole Soyinka.
Let the so called new generation, learn how things are built. You build from the scratch up & not just from anywhere. How many of this youths knows what leadership is all about? How many of them can handle money? (Not just the paper but, the spirit that rules money) some of them knows nothing than phones & internet & to make money, the reason, many of them are into frauds. (Yahoo yahoo etc.) Let them tell us, what core values they have got & not just dis respecting, their parents & the senior citizens.
I agree with you that the Federal Government did the harm, but its not even the military government. It was the ministry of education during Obasanjo that destroyed our curriculum. I really don't blame the Gen Z kids.
Proud of a corrupt man? Lie. Nobody is proud of the tribal bigot.
And you can call him a cultist too! 😂😂
God bless you 🙏🏻
He is never a cultist. The group he belonged to while he was in university wasn't created for cultism. Shut the hell up bastard!
We should all wake up Soyinka has done something for himself,what about me and you? Soyinka today is an old man that thel whole world can't forget him neither yiu like it or not@@sundaychidi1979
Because you are ignorant. He is not a cultist.
The parochial people are calling people parochial. You can talk without mentioning Easterners even they have no business in the conversation. Shame!
This English language that doesn't produced a toothbrush or bicycle is only to use it for defrauding public funds if not what else?.
Mr man you are a liar, all this elders haven't sure anything good
Nigerian youths of obidients clouts are lost and damaged in thoughts
Rubbish but he now opened up his inner bitterness Centre’s on tribalism
And you can call him An AGBAYA of his generation, An elder who brought evil in our institutions, An elder who can't stand up against bad government. SHAME on you AGBAYA ti Wo ile.
Omo Ibo, thank you 😊
Accept that this time he completely missed it, stop twisting the narrative, nobody said he didn't have a wonderful past.
He came to betrayed Biafra people
That's why you should get some education to learn some history otherwise, you would have known he was imprisoned for 3 years for supporting Biafra and was friend with Ojukwu till death!!
What has those books he wrote, change for Nigerians, shameless people
Nnnnn when the obidient talk you will know,their word is repelling, full of envying bitterness malicious hatered bitterness etc
@@Soartech_engineer The very reason they call them Nattering Nitwits or headless mob led by thier oga Gbajue
@@Soartech_engineerhe asked a simple question and you're here abusing and equally disgracing yourself. Books that didn't change the mindset of corrupt politicians starting from his friend the drug man.
But the sad part is Nigerians are international thieves, most especially the women are far from being feminist 😢
I think if Obidients do know anything about him, atleast they know as professor Gbajue
See bad English. Come to think of it. Someone like this will run his mouth about Professor Wole Soyinka.
Yoou mean gbajue democracy
@@rajiabdul-ganiyy2002English language is a foreign language, no English man can spell or write successfully any of African languages, na slave mentality dey worry you.
To propagate your program Obidients must be inclusive.
I guess Sam Omatseye now lives and wakes up in Ass-hole Rock.
You are the one who thinks with your ass hole.
A like nigerian conversations😂
Nothing good about wole soyinka
If you father was as good as his bag carrier. Son of nobody and will be nobody himself. Should you know what greatness is or smell it you wouldn't open your unbridled mouth with no sense.
omatseye the noise maker
Omaseye, please stop your foolness.
Really, are you sure obidients doesn't? Politics, i thought it's over.....why spend airtime to defend an avatar?
This man is really Getting on the nerves of the citizens.
Which man? Prof Soyinka or whom?
@@akandesaheed3835 Ur president
@@akandesaheed3835 Do you mind this one!
Who gives a fuck about him?
Colonial baby 👶
in life is not how you started but how you end, Soyinka lost it in his tribal sentiments as yoruba Man he is ,as for us it was a surprise by that name but by his tribe it's never a surprise that's whom they are,
You can call him a cultist
He came to Biafra as a spy, for Nigerian
How can the children know anything about anything, when government is not giving them proper education.
Nothing good about wole soyinka
Like your father Nnamdi azikiwe
Just because your father is unknown in his community talkless of having international recognition like professor Wole Shoyinka
Ibo people will remain backwards in Nigeria politics.They are not educated and mostly traders.Shame on this group of Ibo generations.
@@echetabuemeka4087 Soyinka is very irrelevant for now....
To you and your types but to the majority of Nigerians, African and the world, he's a an icon!!
