The anchor of the show, Larry Madowo, will lead the audience on an interesting journey with the Nobel Laureate as he shares the principles, beliefs, and drive that shaped his remarkable life and career.

The respected author will also talk about the remarkable activism that shaped his writing and served as the basis for a film this year about his political imprisonment in Nigeria in the edition of the programme that marks his 90th birthday.

Oluwole Akinwande Soyinka, born on July 13, 1934, was recognised as the 1986 Nobel Laureate in Literature for his poetic overtones and wide cultural perspective fashioning the drama of existence.

Soyinka began his literary career as a student at University College, Ibadan, now the University of Ibadan and later at the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom.
