Your kindness and humour.Chimamanda Adichie has showered praise on Professor Wole Soyinka.
Chimamanda eulogized thanked the legendary author for being a ‘guiding light’.
Her words, “You are, for me, a guiding light:
Your courage. The ease with which you inhabit your skin, speaking your mind, unburdened by apology.
Your utter coolness.
The urgent, terse poetry of The Man Died, the exuberance of Ake; your faith in possibility, in adventure, in progress.
Yes indeed, ‘the mindless ones are neither the total sum nor the true face of humanity.’
Thank you, Prof.”
