I’m Alive —Soyinka

Two days after the rumour of Professor Wole
Soyinka's death that went viral on the social media,
P.M.NEWS finally tracked the man down this
morning. In his characteristic witticism, he said no
interview because "Dead Men Don't Talk!"
Upon further prompting, he simply invited
journalists to a conference: "I will emerge briefly
from the crypt on Thursday, February 5 at Freedom
Park for the Festival Conference on the VISION OF
THE CHILD – the children's item on the Festival. Try
and be there yourself, as it will be more than the
children's competition. The theme of this year's
edition – in case you're not already aware of it – is:
ROAD TO SAMBISA. See you."
