As a human rights activist - Wole Soyinka has been a courageous voice for justice, freedom, and the end of tyranny. - But the ultimate lesson is just sit down and write - That's all ... (UC Berkely)
Soyinka wrote a number of radio plays (1961) until the government quashed his efforts for being overly critical. - After being wrongly accused of conspiring (1965) to broadcast false election results on the radio, he was arrested. - A protest over his imprisonment was organised by an international group of writers, including Norman Mailer and William Styron - and he was freed 3 months later. - During his imprisonment, Soyinka surreptitiously composed on discarded cigarette packages, toilet paper, and between the lines of books he secretly managed to acquire. - That served my sanity, just to be able to scribble some things from time to time. - And I think that would be true of most writers ...

Those who have much to give fulfill themselves only in total loneliness. - American and British writers, among them Lilian Hellman and Robert Lowell, protested to the Nigerian government, and Soyinka was released. - The Man Died (1972), describes his time in jail.

It dealt with man's inhumanity and pervasive corruption in structures of power. - Like the writer and human rights activist Ken Saro-Wiwa (1941-1995), Soyinka has criticized the corruption brought to Nigeria by the oil industry. Saro-Wiwa was hanged despite of international protests. - He has been one of the most outspoken critics of the concept on negritude, which has been associated with Leopold Senghor, the writer and former President of Senegal. - Soyinka defends the idea, that the West should pay reparations for crimes committed against African people. - Some people think the Nobel Prize makes you bulletproof. - "I never had that illusion" - Soyinka once said ...
