Didn't Naguib Mahfouz win a Nobel? Technically, Egypt is Africa, right? maybe say "Subsaharan Africa"?

Wole Soyinka was the first African to win it, in 1986. Mahfouz won it in 1988. And Nadine Gordimer won it in the 90's.--62.6.139.10 10:14, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Bold text== CAN'T FIND AN OFFICIAL WEBSITE FOR PROF WOLE SOYINKA ==

I'm a strong fan of Prof Wole Soyinka. My 3D Animated short movie "ABI'KU" was inspired by his classic poem, "Abiku". The 7mins movie won THE BEST ANIMATED MOVIE PRIZE at the 2005 2nd Abuja International film festival.

I'll just like to say thanks for writing such an inspiring poem and let him see that it's "alive".

My website is http://www.cgiafrica.com/page2.html

IF ANYONE HAS HIS E-MAIL ADDRESS OR A LINK OF SORT, PLEASE SEND IT TO ME AT abuluandrew@yahoo.com or animator@cgiafrica.com

Does anyone know why Soyinka chose to teach at UNLV? Teaching in Las Vegas seems like an odd choice for him, and surely many of the top universities worldwide would love to have him on their faculties.

Well to my own knowledg i beleive that prof. Wole Soyinka is one of the most talented prof. in the world and he is one that like to study and lecture more about literature and english....well i have seen most of his poems and his dramers ,well they are just so wounderful and nice to read and to watch.......
