Nigerian Nobel laureate in literature Wole Soyinka turns 80

Nigerian Wole Soyinka - the first African to win the Nobel Prize for Literature - is turning 80. A recurring theme in his work is opposition to dictatorship and to the use of force, in his homeland and elsewhere.

His trade is literature. But that doesn't prevent Wole Soyinka, who turns 80 on Sunday (13.07.2014), from expressing trenchant views on domestic Nigerian politics. When the Islamist militant sect Boko Haram abducted 200 schoolgirls, Soyinka told the BBC that "the Nigerian nation is about to be defined one way or the other. If we don't find those children, then for me Nigeria is a hopeless state. Then let's all sit down and decide that Nigeria is too much to manage and that it is easier, for instance, to manage a crisis of this kind, or even to prevent it, if we were a smaller nation."

In a statement issued in Osogbo on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said under President Jonathan's watch, Nigeria has been thrown into unprecedented crisis that is manifesting in the opposition strongholds of Rivers, Edo, Adamawa and Nasarawa States and elsewhere across the country.

The President has also abused national institutions perhaps more than any other President in Nigeria's history, deploying the police and the army to intimidate and harass ordinary citizens in general and opposition supporters in particular, as he did recently in Ekiti and he is allegedly planning to do in Osun state; shutting airports at will just to punish the opposition and muscling the electoral commission, INEC, to prevent incorruptible RECs from conducting elections, it said.
