Even at 90, Wole Soyinka whose famous quote is “the man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny” continues to write and live out the essence of what the Swedish Academy described as one "who in a wide cultural perspective and with poetic overtones fashions the drama of existence
The Man Died is important as a historical testament of a nation told from the point of view of a writer, activist and politically engaged intellectual who has interrogated the failings of the Nigerian state for over a half century.
Ultimately, the Soyinka versus Obidients rift is mostly an intergenerational spat even as their derision of Soyinka’s Nobel Prize for Literature continues. Many, including Obidients, will argue, however, that it’s a fight for justice

Guests at the premiere who came from across the world included kings and diplomats, writers and publishers, actors and filmmakers, friends and fans of Wole Soyinka as well as his sister and children.
