Wole Soyinka, age 18, a college freshman
I bet you have not seen every of these photos of Wole Soyinka..Oh, I said they will leave your mouth wide open, well I said it because they left mine. Here's something interesting he said about his childhood:
“I began writing early - very, very early... I was already writing short stories for the radio and selling poems to poetry and art festivals; I was involved in school plays; I wrote essays, so there was no definite moment when I said, 'Now I'm a writer.' I've always been a writer."
