The Lecturer: Wole Soyinka "Books and all forms of writing have always been objects of terror to those who week to suppress the truth." Wole Soyinka, The Man Died: The Prison Notes of Wole Soyinka Nobel Laureate, playwright, poet and political activist, was born on July 13, 1934, in Abeokuta, Western Nigeria, and lived with his family in the Aké quarter of the city. At that time, his homeland was still a British dependency. His father was the headmaster of an Anglican primary school, and his mother, whose nickname was "Wild Christian," was a shop owner and teacher. In 1981, Soyinka published Aké, a memoir about his youth, which James Olney of the New York Times described as "a classic of childhood memoirs wherever and whenever produced." A precocious, intellectually omnivorous child, Soyinka sated his hunger for knowledge at his home, which he describes in the book as "the intellectual watering-hole of Aké and its environs." His memoir is filled with the poignant, often hilarious misadventures of a hyper-energetic young boy, but toward the end the narrative takes a decidedly intense turn. Soyinka becomes involved in and inspired by both Nigeria's fight for independence and the revolt against a tax on women that his mother leads. In Aké, Soyinka writes, "I sensed the beginning of an unusual event and was gripped by the excitement." The author admits that his lifelong political activism has its roots in his childhood. He describes the tax revolt as "the earliest event I remember in which I was really caught up in a wave of activism and understood the principles involved. Young as I was, it all took place around me, discussions took place around me, and I knew what forces were involved. But even before [the tax revolt], I'd listened to elders talking, and I used to read the newspapers on my father's desk. This was a period of anti-colonial fervor, so the entire anti-colonial training was something I imbibed quite early, even before the women's movement."

He sometimes wrote of modern West Africa in a satirical style, but his serious intent and his belief in the evils inherent in the exercise of power usually was evident in his work as well. A member of the Yoruba people, Soyinka attended Government College and University College in Ibadan before graduating in 1958 with a degree in English from the University of Leeds in England. Upon his return to Nigeria, he founded an acting company and wrote his first important play, A Dance of the Forests (produced 1960; published 1963), for the Nigerian independence celebrations. The play satirizes the fledgling nation by stripping it of romantic legend and by showing that the present is no more a golden age than was the past. He wrote several plays in a lighter vein, making fun of pompous, Westernized schoolteachers in

Wole Soyinka Study Guide Using this Guide Wole Soyinka (born Akinwande Oluwole Soyinka in 1934) is Africa's most distinguished playwright, winning the Nobel Prize for literature in 1986. A Yoruba, he studied first at the University College of Ibadan, then at Leeds University in England, where he came under the influence of the brilliant Shakespeare scholar G. Wilson Knight. The fifties were a period of great experimentation in the theater, both in France and England, and Soyinka was involved with various productions in Great Britain before returning to Nigeria, having been commissioned to write a play to celebrate that nation's independence in 1960 ( A Dance of the Forests). It was a lyrical blend of Western experimentalism and African folk tradition, reflecting a highly original approach to drama. He has always emphasized his African roots, dubbing his early theater troupe "Masks," to acknowledge the role Yoruba pageantry has played in his work. From the beginning he was a political figure, During the Nigerian Civil War he was not sufficiently anti-Biafran to suit the government and was put into solitary confinement for two years, being released only after an intense international campaign. This experience is movingly recounted in his book, A Man Died.

Wole Soyinka (1934- ). Nigeria. The first African to win the Nobel Prize in Literature (in 1986), Wole Soyinka has established himself as one of the most compelling literary forces on the continent. Born in Abeokuta, Nigeria, in 1934, he is often regarded as a universal man: poet, playwright, novelist, critic, lecturer, teacher, actor, translator, politician, and publisher. Soyinka's writing "blends African with European cultural traditions, the high seriousness of modernist elite literature, and the topicality of African popular theater." His early poetry, which can be found in one of the first issues of BlackOrpheus and in A Shuttle in the Crypt (1971), resulted from his imprisonment during the Nigerian Civil War. His powerful prison diary, The Man Died (1972) was published after his release. Soyinka is actively committed to social justice and he has been an outspoken, daring public figure deeply engaged in the main political issues of his country and Africa, and he has become a symbol for humane values throughout the continent. Soyinka's hallmark is his dramatic work: "His plays are shaped by myth and imagery and the narratives move back and forth in time. The events are powerful, the language filled with puns and witty wordplay, references, and allusions. Soyinka has an excellent sense of dramatic rhythm and visual theater."

Isokan Yoruba Magazine Summer 1997 Volume III No. III: Wole Soyinka on Yoruba Religion A conversation with Ulli Beier Beier: I wanted to talk to you about Yoruba religion, because you seem to be the only writer who has seriously tried to come to terms with it. Even many of the Yoruba scholars, who do research into language, literature, history of the Yoruba shy away from the subject - as if they were embarrassed about it ... Now in your own case, given the type of upbringing you had, I have asked myself how you became interested in Yoruba religion. There is an image "Ake", that has made a very strong impression on me. You were living in the Christian school compound, that was surrounded by a high wall and when the Egungun masqueraders were passing by outside, you had to ask somebody to lift you onto the ladder, so that you could watch the procession going on outside. Your upbringing was designed to shield you from the realities of Yoruba life ... and later on your education in the Grammar school, the University in England - they all were designed to take you further away from the core of your culture. How then did you find your way back into it? How did you manage to break the wall that had been built up around you?

Soyinka and the Nigerian Civil War Lisa Sachs '93 English 32 (1989) Wole Soyinka 's A Shuttle in the Crypt contemplates a critical period in Nigerian history between 1966 and early 1971. Soyinka's efforts to curtail the Nigerian Civil War in 1967 resulted in his arrest and imprisonment without trial by the federal military government. Soyinka's work remains inseparable from his activities as a political dissident. His commitment to promoting human rights in Nigeria and other nations reflects his new approach to literature as a serious agent of social change. A Shuttle in the Crypt chronicles Soyinka's twenty-five month experience of solitary confinement with its accompanying horrors and dangers. His poems typify the renewed political concern of the African writer as a critic of societies which promote human degradation. Soyinka denigrates Africa's past while warning his people to redirect their energies in order to avoid the demoralization and purposeless cruelty which characterize contemporary Nigeria. A comprehension of the inner reality of Soyinka's experience as a political prisoner requires understanding historical events, including Nigeria's military convention and ensuing civil war. Political antagonisms and increasing corruption characterized the first government of independent Nigeria. The establishment of the Midwest Region irritated many Yoruba of the Western Region, including Soyinka. Disagreements between Awolowo of the AG and regional Premier Samuel Akintola paralyzed the Western Region where central authorities assumed control for ten months. Representatives of the federal government charged Awolowo and other Yoruba leaders with treason in 1962 and sentenced them to fifteen years in prison. On January 14, 1966, the federal government proclaimed martial law as a solution to Nigeria's problems. The overthrow of the federal government resulted in the mass violence which Soyinka sharply attacked, including the murders of Prime Minister Balewa, Akintola, and the sardauna of Sokoto.

Washington State University Home Photograph by Isabelle Levy Wole Soyinka, the first African writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature (1986), will be at Washington State University February 3-4, 2005. Soyinka's visit is in conjunction with the theatre department's presentation of Death and the King's Horseman , one of Soyinka's most celebrated works. The play is about the Yoruba, one of the three largest ethnic groups of Nigeria, and brings into sharp focus the differences between Western and African cultures. The panel discussion following the opening night performance will engage the audience in learning about another culture and help them better understand the differences between certain cultures and historical reasons for the continued existence of those differences. Soyinka is counted as one of contemporary Africa's greatest writers. He is also one of the continent's most creative advocates of native culture. At the center of his work is the idea of "organic revolution." He envisions a "New Africa," wherein native myth is reformulated in the context of contemporary reality and where ancient tradition melds with current technology, enabling escape from colonial past. Professor Soyinka's appearance provides a rare opportunity to experience African culture from his unique perspective as a native Yoruban Nigerian, dramatist, academic, literary critic, social/political activist, and exiled citizen.

imlive Wole Soyinka - Biography Wole Soyinka was born near Abeokuta in Nigeria. He grew up in an Anglican mission compound in Ake. He attended the parsonage's primary school where his father was the headmaster, and then attended the grammar school in Abeokuta where his uncle was principal. When he was twelve, he left Ake for Ibadan to attend the Government College there. He entered Ibadan's new university when he was eighteen. Two years later he went to England to complete his degree in drama at Leeds. Following his graduation, he worked as a script-reader, actor, and director at the Royal Court Theatre in London. Upon his return to Ibadan he founded two theatre companies, one of which was called the 1960 Masks. It is now called the Orisun Theatre. His first important play, A DANCE OF FORESTS, was written for the Nigerian independence celebrations. Soyinka's works were met with criticism from all sides. They brought out hostility from Nigerian authorities as well as by proponents of pure "Negritude." His plays are written in English, but they incorporate the music, dance, and the words of the traditional Yoruban festivals. Soyinka's work openly criticizes the Nigerian government. He advocates an autonomous African culture which assimilates only those elements of the modern world which are progressive. He was imprisoned for two years on the charges that he aided the attempted secession of Biafra from Nigeria. While in prison he spent much of his time in solitary confinement. Upon his release he published a book of poetry, A SHUTTLE IN THE CRYPT, and one of his many autobiographies, THE MAN DIED: PRISON NOTES OF WOLE SOYINKA. He was later exiled from his home land for speaking out against the dictator, General Sani Abacha. The charges of treason were dropped when Abdulsalam Abubakar came into power.

Wednesday, 14 November 2007 Wole Soyinka On The Menace Of Cults In Nigerian Universities Warning: Graphic Imgaes Posted by Uche Nworah at 3 comments: Tha Iboprincess said... This documentary gives a glimpse on the Cults that prevail on Nigerian Universities. I find them strikingly similar but maybe a bit more atrocious as fraternities/sororites at historically black universities here in the states. One thing that reigns true for cults in Nigeria and Fraternities abroad is the notion that both groups have strayed away from their purpose/mission of being created. The documentary revealed that Cults have somewhat taken over Nigerian Universities and expanded their networks to include Political affiliation. If then these cults have forged alliances with those in power whereby which they engage in"political thuggery" then it is fair to say that those ruling parties are in fact supporting such violent groups or movements. 20 November 2007 05:00 Aloofa said... I consider the documentary very revealing. Well, as much as I do appreciate Soyinka's noble effort in producing it, I think the doc is rather propagandist. Soyinka, I strongly advise, should desist from creating different guises aimed at changing the psyche of the people about the widely held notion that he created (and sponsors) the societal scourge of cultism. He has always done, and done, and done this; giving lectures, home and abroad, about the difference between cultism and fraternity. If people are not ready to understand that he, alongside his colleagues, formed pyrates fraternity for a just course, they'd better go to hell. Moreover, I'd like to know your take on the documentary.
