Wole Soyinka: “I Don’t Believe in the Islamic or Christian God, If That Makes Me an Atheist, Then I Am an Atheist”
Nigerian Nobel laureate and celebrated playwright, Wole Soyinka, has openly expressed his views on religion, stating that he does not believe in the Islamic or Christian conception of God. During a recent interview, Soyinka made it clear that his stance on religion has always been rooted in skepticism towards organized faiths, particularly those of Christianity and Islam, which are the dominant religions in Nigeria.
Soyinka’s declaration that, “I don’t believe in the Islamic or Christian God, and if that makes me an atheist, then I am an atheist,” has sparked conversations across various social and religious circles. His remark underscores his philosophical approach to spirituality, which emphasizes personal inquiry and freedom of thought, rather than adherence to dogmatic religious doctrines. Soyinka’s views are not entirely new, as he has previously criticized religious extremism and the role of organized religion in perpetuating division and violence, particularly in Africa.
Despite being raised in a Christian household, Soyinka has consistently questioned the legitimacy of institutionalized religion, advocating instead for a more humanistic worldview. His position reflects a broader critique of how religious beliefs are often manipulated for power and control, both socially and politically.
While his statements may be considered controversial in a highly religious society like Nigeria, Soyinka remains steadfast in his belief that individuals should be free to question and choose their spiritual path. He also continues to champion the right to think independently about matters of faith and existence.
In conclusion, Wole Soyinka’s bold stance on religion adds to the ongoing discourse about faith, belief, and personal freedom in Nigeria and beyond.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has reacted to statements made by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, advising northern political aspirants to refrain from contesting the presidency until 2031.
Akume, speaking on Sunday, December 8, suggested that the North should wait for President Bola Tinubu to complete two terms in office before contesting. He also specifically urged Atiku to abandon his aspirations for 2027, asserting that if it were God’s will, Atiku could become president even at 90 years old.
In a response through his media aide, Paul Ibe, Atiku dismissed Akume’s remarks, criticizing Tinubu’s current administration and stating, “God forbid” that Tinubu deserves another term. He further asserted that Nigerians, not political figures, will determine who leads the country in 2027.
Atiku also pointed out the imbalance in power distribution between the North and South, emphasizing that by 2027, the South would have held leadership for 17 years, compared to the North’s 11 years. He argued that this disparity raises concerns about fairness in power rotation.
Atiku, who was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the 2023 presidential election, continues to advocate for balanced leadership and the will of the people in shaping the nation’s future.
