Professor Wole Soyinka Clocks 79 Today




Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka is a year older today.  He was born Akinwande Oluwole Soyinka on July 13, 1934 in Abeokuta, Ogun State Nigeria.  The Isara Remo indigene is the 2nd of 6 children born to his family.  His father Samuel Ayodele Soyinka was a minister at Anglican church while his mother Grace Eniola Soyinka was a trader.

Soyinka is a cousin to late Afro legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti since his mother was a descendant of the Ransom-Kuti family in Abeokuta.

To make his birthday a grand affair, a number of activities have been lined up, and the most significant of it all is the Open Door Series Project WS79 organized by Zmirage Multimedia Limited.
