As you are well aware, The Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature in Africa was established by the Lumina Foundation in 2005 as a Biennial Award for the best literary work produced by an African. The prize has been serving as an African equivalent of the Nobel Prize, particularly in recognizing and encouraging professional and personal excellence.
KEY POINTS TO NOTE ABOUT THE WS PRIZE

The WS Prize for Literature in Africa assesses works by African authors published within the two years preceding the award year.
The Judges of the Prize are seasoned intellectuals and critics taken from five African countries: Cote D Ivore, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria and South Sudan .
At the moment, the Prize money of WS Prize is $20,000USD. We are looking to increasing it in the near future and setting up structures that will sustain the Prize and ensure it continues to realise its objectives.
The omnibus nature of the Prize (Due to the fact that Prof WS writes in all the genres) has also been addressed. Each year, starting from 2014, the Prize will rotate through the following genres, in this order: Published Play or collection of plays by a single author, Published Collection of Poetry by a single author, Published novels (Full length novels or collection of short stories by a single author),

THE GROWTH OF THE WS PRIZE
The growth of the WS Prize is not only in quality, but also in scope and scale: In the first edition of the Prize, we had 87 entries from eight African countries. This grew to 204 entries from ten African countries in the second edition, and by the third edition we had 336 entries from eleven African countries.

Thus far, four awards of the prize have been made, with Nigeria winning in the first and second editions, and tying with South Africa in the third while a South African took home the fourth prize.
Always, Prof. Wole Soyinka hands out the prize in person.

AIMS OF WS PRIZE FOR LITERATURE IN AFRICA
To propagate the dynamics of self enhancement.
To celebrate excellence, patriotism, integrity, heroism, intellectualism and selfless service epitomized by the man, Wole Soyinka.
To generate excellent books (both in content and packaging) authored by Africans.
To foster global harmony through the provision of opportunities for appreciation of cross cultural perspectives.
To extensively promote the authors and their works, according them the recognition they deserve among renowned authors across the world.
To celebrate awesome creative pieces in all their cerebral grace, liberating qualities, the honour and recognition they bring to a myriad of people of diverse cultures and languages.
To provide informative entertainment and create avenues for literary performances.
To make the winning works and short listed works available and affordable.
To generally improve the reading culture and the quality of the books we read.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE 2014 WS PRIZE AND CALL FOR ENTRIES
In the past, entries were invited in all the genres because Prof. Wole Soyinka whom the Prize is named after writes in all the genres. Based on the judges’ recommendation, the Board of Trustees has approved that in the future, each edition should assess only one of the genres (Prose, poetry, Drama and Essays). It has therefore been decided that the genre for the fifth edition, taking place in 2014 will be Drama due to the fact that it coincides with Prof. Wole Soyinka’s 80th birthday and since this is the genre he is well known for.
On behalf of the board of the Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature in Africa, I hereby announce the commencement of the preparation for the 5th edition of the prize which will take place here in Nigeria on Saturday July 5 , 2014 and also call for entries.
Any published play or collection of plays by the same author of African descent, published within the two years preceding the year of the Prize (ie play published between 2012 and 2013 ) is eligible for the 2014 WS Prize.
APPRECIATION AND HOPE
Even though it has not been easy administering a prize of this magnitude, especially in the harsh economic environment we operate in, we are glad we have come this far and are indeed forging ahead due to the support and confidence of our very distinguished sponsors, you, our respected friends in the media and of course our committed workforce. We remain grateful to everyone who has helped us in one way or the other and we trust that we will continue to have your cooperation to enable us consistently meet the aims of this prestigious Pan-African prize.
Thank you and God bless you.

Mrs. Francesca Yetunde Emanuel, CON, mni

 Re:The invitation of SDP Chairman,Edo state His Excellency Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga to the Ajaokuta Conference on Iron and steel/power industry in Nigeria on the 28th of August 2013
The SDP  Edo state appreciate your invitation of its Chairman His Excellency Prince Frank onaivi Ukonga  to the conference on Ajaokuta to discuss the issues of how to resuscitate the Ajaokuta iron and steel plant which is the biggest in the developing world as well as could create more than 2million jobs and raise Nigerian GDP to over 45 % at completion and full capacity utilization. It could also become the power and industrial headquarter of Nigeria and the entire west Africa by its location in the Niger / Benue confluence just like the Rhor Westphalia industrial belt of  Germany , the Volga river industrial belt of Russia, the Great lakes st Lawrence sea way industrial belt OF US/Canada,, the Hudson river industrial belt etc...God has blessed Nigeria with this same condition as it had given to other Nations, but we need to put our heads together and seek for a general language of communication among our various ethnic nationalism which is the remote causality of the underdevelopment of the Nigerian Polity.
 The Chairman SDP Edo H.E Frank Ukonga supports your conference as rightly guided and will endeavor to be in attendance .
He also commend the efforts of the organizers and above all advice the federal government to give some attention to the Ajaokuta steel industry
Long live  Edo State, long live the Nigerian Federation

Igbo demands N500billion; Edo youth/Frank Ukonga demand N50Billion from Gov Fashola:The case of Igbo deportation from lagos state, victimization of Frank Ukonga by demolishing his biz and the sealing of Dr Orjo Uzor Kalu's House takes a new twist::Igbos demands 500billion Naira Reparations from Lagos state of Gov Raji Fashola, while Edo youth demand N50 billion Naira compensation for His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga over the demolitions of his biz by Gov Fashola.

Gov Raji Fashola to payN5000Billion to  deported igbos and pay N50billion to frank ukonga over biz demolished

Igbo demands N500billion; Edo youth/Frank Ukonga demand N50Billion from Gov Fashola:The case of Igbo deportation from lagos state, victimization of Frank Ukonga by demolishing his biz and the sealing of Dr Orjo Uzor Kalu's House takes a new twist::Igbos demands 500billion Naira Reparations from Lagos state of Gov Raji Fashola, while Edo youth demand N50 billion Naira compensation for His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga over the demolitions of his biz by Gov Fashola.
The entire igbo community in Nigeria are not happy by the deportation of the peoples of ndigbo extraction from lagos to Anmbra state under the bridge to be exact 75 Nidigbo indegine were deported from lagos recently but Governor Faahola hasdeported more than than 9000 Nigerians from lagos state. The Igbo Union ENRI based in enugu are asking for compendsation of N500 billion for the deported Igbo peoples

In a statement signed by the National President of the body, Barrister Joni Icheka; Secretary, Mr. Uche Nwegbo and Treasurer, Barrister Emma Nwodo, ESRI maintained that the deportation negates sections 21 (1), 22 (1) and 15 (3) of the Constitution.
They also condemned the Lagos state government for sealing off the property of the former Abia State Governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and frowned at the statements credited to the former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, saying such statements were capable of bringing about ethnic hatred and a breakdown of law and order.
“ESRI therefore, demands an immediate payment of the sum of N500 billion compensation to these ill-treated Nigerians, whom the Lagos state government said were Ndi Anambra.
“Apart from paying them the compensation, the state government should also immediately provide them with befitting housing accommodation and publicly apologize for denigrating their personal liberty and smearing the sanctity of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“If the Lagos State Government and their Governor fails to do these things within one month, we will be left with no option than to conclude that it was done with clear negative mind-set and vendetta and we would be left with no option than to take appropriate legal action,” the statement said.
while The Edo progressive Youth Youth Forum leader Mr Saiki Oyana are asking for N50 Bllion compensation for Prince Frank Onaivi ukonga's biziness that was crushed by governor Fashola of Lagos statre becouse the ameable prince criticized him over the overall policy thrust of renderin many peioples homeless by his demolitions, the next thing was that Prince Frank Ukonga became the next victim of Gov Fashola's victimization of those that criticiz him posotively.
Similarly the Igbo group based in Enugu are also seeking apology and compensation for Chief Oji Kalu whose house was sealed by gove Fashola over poasitrive criticism of depoting the Igbos in Lagos styate which is illegal as this is contrary to the Nigerian constitution.
Both the Igbo group and His Excellency might  have no other alternative but to seek redress in court if Governor Fashola does not compensate them.

Fashola  Crush Frank Ukonga's Biz in Ikeja, Seals Orji Kalu's House in Ikoyi Over Positive Criticism:Lagos Politics of intolerance & Self Destruct: Focus on deportation of over 9000 Nigerians from Lagos State.

H.E. Governor Raji Fashola of Lagos state of Nigeria is at it again. He recently sealed the House of His Excellency Dr Orji Uzor Kalu in Ikoyi Lagos over positive criticism about the d

eportation of 75 Ndigbo Indigene resident in Lagos state to Onitcha under the Upper Ewaka Bridge. 

H.E. Governor Raji Fashola of Lagos state of Nigeria is at it again. He recently sealed the House of His Excellency Dr Orji Uzor Kalu in Ikoyi Lagos over positive criticism about the deportation of 75 Ndigbo Indigene resident in Lagos state to Onitcha under the Upper Ewaka Bridge. You can imagine this. 
Similarly His Excellency Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga the Chairman and governorship Candidate of SDP in Edo state in the 2012 polls was one of the first to be crushed by Governor Raji Fashola of Lagos state. The celebrated feud between Gov Fashola and  His Excellency Frank Ukonga began in 2007 /2008 when after governor Fashola took over from Asiwaju Bola Tinubu , His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga criticize his overall policy thrust of the governance of Lagos state at AIT Television and was broadcasted live to the entire world. Prince Frank Ukonga chided governor Fashola over the demolition of Oshodi market. Tejuosho Market, Mosafejo Market,Cairo Market, Agege Market etc and many other markets  which was putting hardship on many hard working residents of Lagos state .

His Excellency Orji Uzor Kalu former Governor of Abia State

 And to crown it all governor Fashola was not providing any alternatives to the millions of Nigerians that his policy thrust was rendering homeless and unemployed. Prince Frank Ukonga offered to assist Lagos state to generate electricity to the National grit and that, that should be the first priority of any Lagos state governor as Lagos state consume more than 70 % of total energy generated in Nigeria.
Later Nigerian companies staerted checking out of Nigeria to Ghana to set up production plants becouse of this electricity issue.
 Instead of listening to His Excellency Prince Frank Ukonga, governor Fashola decided to crush all the business of His excellency Prince Frank Ukonga situated at Ashade Market Extension in Ikeja. So the people of the environment division of Lagos State government came to serve him the papers that the block of shops legitimately purchased from the Ikeja Local Government would be crushed out of reasons best known to the governor. Prince Ukonga went straight to Alausa Office of the governor to appeal against the demolition and was told that the governor was not on seat but that they would plead on his behalf .On the D- Day governor Fashola rolled out the bulldozers and crushed all the livelihood of His Excellency Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga. The companies in the group of offices includes an Ultra modern Printing Press with latest printing machines procured at millions of Naira, A Micro Finance Bank, and a construction company Inmont Limited. all belonging to Prince Frank Ukonga group ,who lost all he had worked for in his life including unpublished manuscripts of more than 10 books that could have made Prince Frank Ukonga to win perhaps a Noble award.

His Excellency Governor Raji Fashola of Lagos State

The amnesty international has also complained that this style of politics is wrong and that Gov Fashola should stop deporting Nigerians from Lagos State and that this   politics of intolerance is self disrtructive. 

All the youth of Edo state appeal to Governor Fashola to compensate His Excellency Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga and others affected by his policy thrust and all the brohahhaa. 

Long Live Edo State Long Live Lagos State.
