What a great tribute to an icon! I join a host of admirers to wish this highly decorated and endowed master playwright, prodigy, intellectual marvel and living legend a Happy Birthday! To survive the killing field of intellect and creativity and live to be 75 and counting is a feat denied many in our nation. As our elders pray, therefore, May 200 years be to this genius like the passage of a single year!

Thanks to Ojogbon Agba TF for this notable encomium to a deserving icon. It's no wonder Osofisan calls him "Iwin!" May your pen never go dry!
