Soyinka Expresses Amazement at Reaching 90 Years and Reflects on Life Journey
Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka expressed astonishment at reaching the age of 90, a milestone he never anticipated.
At the 2024 edition of his International Cultural Exchange Programme held at his residence in Ijegba, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Soyinka reflected on his journey as a writer, driven by a desire to rectify narratives he encountered in his youth.
He clarified an incident from the past, emphasizing that he did not “break into” but rather “sneaked into” a radio station during the military era to reclaim what he believed belonged to the people, aiming to prevent the dissemination of potentially demoralizing content that could perpetuate a culture of brutality.
In his address, Soyinka criticized Nigerians for their propensity to fault the state while neglecting introspection.
He argued that societal issues like kidnapping and robbery stem not merely from poverty or inequality, but from inherent selfishness and a pursuit of extravagant lifestyles.
The event also featured an essay competition attended by students from various parts of Nigeria, engaging in thoughtful discourse on both national and international topics.
Nigerian TikTok influencer, Peller, reacts as American streamer, iShowSpeed, ignores him. It can be recalled that iShowSpeed is currently in Lagos, Nigeria, and Peller tried to approach him but was stopped and not answered.
The TikTok influencer even tried again and chased the streamer on a horse, but he was still not answered.
He pleaded as he shouted “Please, I’m a streamer. I’m big. Please let’s do something. I have suffered because of you.”
Media personality, Tochi, takes to social media and calls out Nigerian youths over unemployment.
It can be noted that this outburst was caused by the fact that popular American streamer, iShowSpeed, arrived in Nigeria. His presence hyped up many youths and fans, as some followed him when they spotted him in person.
The media personality then stated that youths must be jobless to be this excited about a streamer landing in Lagos.
Popular American streamer, iShowSpeed, arrived in Lagos, Nigeria, and streamed his day in the state. Nigerian fans logged in to watch the streamer’s experience in Lagos, while fans who spotted him made sure to express love.
He was spotted in a Nigerian football jersey as the streamer moved across Lagos Island and met up with some influencers.
