Does that mean no Nigerian university has produced a Nobel laurate?
I once read Soyinka in an interview in the US Black magazine Ebony recounting the influence of Bornamee Dobree and Wilson Knight at Leeds on him.
He did not mention anyone from UI.
Does he do so in his other writings?
Thanks

i think you have to say Soyinka is the product of UI "sort of": he did 2 years there, didn't finish, and went to Leeds to finish

Point of correction: Obafemi Awolowo University is yet to produce a Nobel Laureate; only University of Ibadan has, and that is Wole Soyinka (He is a product of UI, NOT OAU). Shalom.
