              which was then a British colony. The Soyinkas were members of the 
              Yoruba tribe. His father was the headmaster of St. Peter's Primary 
              School and mother, whom the author calls &quot;Wild Christian&quot;, 
              a shopkeeper and respected political figure in the community. </p>
            <p>Like other major Nigerian writers including Elechi Amadi, Chinua 
              Achebe, John Okigbo, John Pepper Clark, and Cole Omotso, he was 
              also educated at the University College of Ibada. In 1954 he moved 
              to England, where he studied English literature at the the University
