Aké: The Years of Childhood is a memoir by Nigerian writer Wole Soyinka that was first published in 1981.
 It tells the story of Soyinka's boyhood before and during World War II in a Yoruba village in western Nigeria called Aké, where the author spent the first 12 years of his life, before moving in 1946 to the Government College in Ibadan.
 When the book was first published, the "New York Times" reviewer wrote: "Playwright, poet, novelist, polemical essayist and now autobiographer, Mr. Soyinka is unquestionably Africa's most versatile writer and arguably her finest.
 In "Ake" he has produced an account of his childhood as a Yoruba in western Nigeria that is destined to become a classic of African autobiography, indeed a classic of childhood memoirs wherever and whenever produced...Through recollection, restoration and re-creation, he conveys a personal vision that was formed by the childhood world that he now returns to evoke and exalt in his autobiography.
 This is the ideal circle of autobiography at its best.
 It is what makes "Ake," in addition to its other great virtues, the best available introduction to the work of one of the liveliest, most exciting writers in the world today."

On 1 June 1962 a conference of African literature in the English language, the first African Writers Conference, was held at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda.
 Officially called a "Conference of African Writers of English Expression", it was attended by many prominent African writers, including Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka (later Nobel Laureate in Literature), John Pepper Clark, Ezekiel Mphahlele, Bloke Modisane, Lewis Nkosi, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o (then known as James Ngugi), Ezekiel Mphahlele, Robert Serumaga, Rajat Neogy (founder of "Transition Magazine").
 The conference was "not only the very first major international gathering of writers and critics of African literature on the African continent; it was also held at the very cusp of political independence for most African countries."
Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature in Africa is a pan-African writing prize awarded biennially to the best literary work produced by an African.
 It was established by the Lumina Foundation in 2005 in honour of Africa's first Nobel Laureate in literature, Wole Soyinka, who presents the prize, which is chosen by an international jury of literary figures.
 Administered by the Lumina Foundation, the prize has been described as "the African equivalent of the Nobel Prize".
In 1952, future-Nobel Prize winning author Wole Soyinka and a group of six friends formed the Pyrate Confraternity at the elite University College, Ibadan, then part of the University of London.
 According to the Pyrates, the "Magnificent Seven", as they called themselves, observed that the university was populated with wealthy students associated with the colonial powers and a few poorer students striving in manner and dress to be accepted by the more advantaged students, while social life was dictated by tribal affiliation.
 Soyinka would later note that the Pyrates wanted to differentiate themselves from "stodgy establishment and its pretentious products in a new educational institution different from a culture of hypocritical and affluent middleclass, different from alienated colonial aristocrats".
 The organization adopted the motto "Against all conventions", the skull and crossbones as their logo, while members adopted confraternity names such as "Cap'n Blood" and "Long John Silver".
 When fellow students protested a proposal to build a railroad across the road leading to the university, fearing that easier transportation would make the university less exclusive, the Pyrates successfully ridiculed the argument as elitist.
 Roughly analogous to the fraternities and sororities of North America, the Pyrates Confraternity proved popular among students, even after the original members moved on.
 Membership was open to any promising male student, regardless of tribe or race, but selection was stringent and most applicants were denied.
 For almost 20 years, the Pyrates were the only confraternity on Nigerian campuses.
Akinwande Oluwole "Wole" Babatunde Soyinka (Yoruba: "Akinwándé Oluwo̩lé Babátúndé S̩óyinká", ] ; born 13 July 1934) is a Nigerian playwright and poet.
 He was awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature, the first African to be honoured in that category.
Season of Anomy is the second novel of Nobel winning Nigerian playwright and critic Wole Soyinka.
 Published in 1973, the novel is one of only two novels published during Soyinka's highly productive literary career.
 Though highly studied as part of Soyinka's importance to the African literary canon, criticism of the novel has been mixed, with some critics describing the novel as a "failure".
A Dance of the Forests is one of the most recognized of Wole Soyinka's plays.
 The play "was presented at the Nigerian Independence celebrations in 1960, it ... denigrated the glorious African past and warned Nigerians and all Africans that their energies henceforth should be spent trying to avoid repeating the mistakes that have already been made."
 At the time of its release, it was an iconoclastic work that angered many of the elite in Soyinka's native Nigeria.
 Politicians were particularly incensed at his prescient portrayal of post-colonial Nigerian politics as aimless and corrupt.
 Despite the deluge of criticism, the play remains an influential work.
 In it, Soyinka espouses a unique vision for a new Africa, one that is able to forge a new identity free from the influence of European imperialism.
