  • Akinwande Oluwole "Wole" Soyinka is a Nigerian writer, poet and playwright. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986, the first African to be so honoured. In 1994, he was designated United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Goodwill Ambassador for the promotion of African culture, human rights, freedom of expression, media and communication. One of the most prominent members of the eminent Ransome-Kuti family, his mother Grace Eniola, was the daughter of Rev. Cannon JJ Ransome-Kuti, sister to Olusegun Azariah Ransome-Kuti and Oludotun Ransome-Kuti, making Soyinka cousins to the late Fela Kuti, the late Beko Ransome-Kuti, the late Olikoye Ransome-Kuti and Yemisi Ransome-Kuti. Soyinka was born into a Yoruba family, specifically, a Remo family in Isara-Remo on July 13, 1934. His father was Christian Clergy, Canon SA Soyinka (aka "Teacher pupa" . He received a primary school education in Abeokuta and attended secondary school at Government College, Ibadan. He then studied at the University College, Ibadan where he founded the pyrates confraternity and the University of Leeds from which he received an First class honours degree in English Literature. He worked as a play reader at the Royal Court Theatre in London before returning to Nigeria to study African drama. He taught in the Universities of Lagos, Ibadan, and Ife . He became a Professor of Comparative Literature at the then university of Ife in 1975). He is currently an Emeritus Professor at the same University. Soyinka has played an active role in Nigeria's political history. in 1965, he made a broadcast demanding the cancellation of the rigged Western Nigeria Regional Elections following his seizure of the Western Nigeria Broadcasting Service studio. He was arrested, arraigned but freed on a technicality by Justice Esho. In 1967, during the Nigerian Civil War he was arrested by the Federal Government of General Yakubu Gowon and put in solitary confinement for his attempts at brokering a peace between the warring Nigerian and Biafran parties. While in prison he wrote poetry on tissue paper which was published in a collection titled Poems from Prison. He was released 22 months later after international attention was drawn to his unwarranted imprisonment. His experiences in prison are recounted in his book The Man Died: Prison Notes. 1972. He has been an implacable, consistent and outspoken critic of many Nigerian military dictators, and of political tyrannies worldwide, including the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe. A great deal of his writing has been concerned with "the oppressive boot and the irrelevance of the colour of the foot that wears it". This activism has often exposed him to great personal risk, most notable during the government of General Sani Abacha (1993-1998), which pronounced a death sentence on him "in absentia ". During Abacha's regime, Soyinka escaped from Nigeria via the "Nadeco Route" on motorcycle. While abroad, he visited parliaments and conferred with world leaders to impose a regime of sanctions against the brutal Abacha regime. These actions and his setting up of the Radio Kudirat helped immensely in securing Nigeria's return to civilian democratic governance. While living abroad (mainly in the United States, he was a professor at Emory University in Atlanta). When civilian rule returned in 1999, Soyinka returned to a hero's welcome back in Lagos, Nigeria. He accepted an Emeritus Professorship at Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) on the condition that the university bar all former military officers from the position of chancellor. Soyinka is currently the Elias Ghanem Professor of Creative Writing at the English department of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the President's Marymount Institute Professor in Residence at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, US. In 2005, he became one of the spearheads of an alternative National conference - PRONACO. Wole Soyinka is a connoisseur of wine and loves outdoor sports such as hunting.

  • Wole Soyinka é um escritor nigeriano. Foi agraciado com o Nobel de Literatura de 1986. Muitos o consideram o dramaturgo mais notável da África. Soyinka nasceu em uma família humilde de origem iorubá em Abeokuta, Nigéria. Ele fez o primário escolar em Abeokuta e o secundário no Government College, em Ibadan. Soyinka fez faculdade na University College, em Ibadan, e na University of Leeds (1954-1957), na Inglaterra, onde ele se formou com menção honrosa em Literatura inglesa. Ele trabalhou no Teatro da corte real (Royal Court Theater) em Londres antes de retornar a Nigéria para se dedicar ao estudo da dramaturgia africana. Soyinka lecionou nas universidade de Lagos e Ife (tornando-se professor de Literatura comparativa nesta instituição de ensino em 1975). Soyinka participou ativamente na história política da Nigéria. Em 1967, durante a Guerra civil nigeriana, ele foi preso pelo Governo federal mantido em confinamento solitário na prisão por suas tentativas de mediar a paz entre os partidos em guerra. Na prisão ele escreveu poemas que mais tarde viriam a ser publicados em uma coleção sob o título Poems from Prison. Soyinka foi liberado vinte e dois meses mais tarde após haver se formado uma conscientização internacional sobre a sua situação. Mais tarde ele recontou a sua experiência no confinamento em um livro: The Man Died: Prison Notes. Soyinka tem criticado abertamente as administrações da Nigéria e de tiranias políticas mundo afora, inclusive fez denúncias contra o regime de Mugabe de Zimbabwe. Muitos de seus escritos tratam do que ele chama de "the oppressive boot and the irrelevance of the colour of the foot that wears it", ou seja, parafraseando: o coturno opressivo e a irrelevância da cor do pé que a calça. Essas formas de pensar e de se expressar tem causado grande risco de vida ao autor, especialmente durante o governo do ditador nigeriano Sani Abacha. Durante a ditadura do General Abacha, Soyinka se retirou de seu país de origem em exílio voluntário (passando a maioria desse tempo nos Estados Unidos onde lecionou na University of Emory, na cidade de Atlanta.
