CELEBRATION OF LIFE AND MEMORIES OF TEENAGE @ 80 Years

At 10, I Almost Killed Myself With My Father’s Gun – Soyinka

As various segments of the society take their turn to celebrate Professor Wole Soyinka who recently turned 80, the Nobel Laureate has said his glorious life would have been cut short when he ignorantly pulled the trigger in his father’s dane gun.

The literary giant said unbridled curiosity at the age of 10 would have led to his untimely death with a gun.

Soyinka said, “I used to go with my father when he hunted. It was a mere air gun but was good enough for squirrels, the wild pigeon and occasional rabbit. I was just curious. One day I sat in the house’s frontage waiting for him to come out of his bedroom so I could accompany him.

“I just felt there was something about that part of his gun which he used to pull. I tried the same motion and it just exploded; but he knew it was his fault so he never chided me. He knew he should never have left that gun loaded and he knew me enough to know that I had learnt that lesson and I didn’t need to be reminded of it. Of course, there was a sort of mutual standoff; I was not rebuked but he knew I was not going to do it again.”

The renowned playwright said he had always lived a remarkable life, saying as a child he participated as a messenger between the different women groups.

Kongi, as he is fondly called, said he carried messages when the women rose in revolt against the excesses of the Alake of Abeokuta when an unjust tax was imposed on them.

According to him, “My parents weren’t anti-establishment; they were anti-despotism. That is why my mother took part as one of the lieutenants of Mrs. Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti when they rose against the excesses of the Alake of Abeokuta and his ally – the district officer. They resisted feudal despotism on behalf of the oppressed women.

“As a child, I participated as a messenger between the different women groups, carried messages, thoroughly enjoying myself when the women rose in revolt. Day after day, they kept up the siege. They were threatened, they were bullied, they were assaulted. They said, ‘No, this unjust tax must go.’”

Reminiscing on his childhood years, Soyinka said his bravery and sometimes cunning traits as a child didn’t go down well with his mother who reasoned that his over-confidence would harm him in the journey of life.

The vintage author said, “When a child tries out something which people, even adults, should undertake with great caution, then they think that child is over-confident and is going to destroy himself.

“I think it stemmed from the fact that if I thought about something which was possible, then I should be ready to test it.”

“ I enjoyed trying out the practical side of science at home— I used to perform experiments. Things like that, you know, sometimes blew up in my face. Same with putative artistry.

“I would re-arrange my mother’s shop because I felt mine was the best way. I looked at customers, studied them and decided which arrangements would attract them more. She would give up and let me have my way. After I had gone back to school, she would undo everything.”

He said his early school days still remain fresh in his memory, affirming that he was able to cope with older boys as a 10year-old scholarship student at Government College, Ibadan because his unique approach to issues.

He said, “Those school mates of mine, they were bullies. They were terrifying because they looked big. Some of them, I am sure, had children already. Some had moustaches and so they shaved every morning.

“The ‘over-confidence’ that my mother used to complain of saved me and put me in trouble also. Because they were big they felt they should trample all over me. I had no hesitation in taking them on.

 

“It was a very good training because you defeat people like that largely with moral persistence. They knew they were misusing their power.

“Whenever they turned on me, being really small, the bullying got really intense because these big boys could not stand the idea that this rondo (small) boy was sitting while others were standing. They couldn’t stand it. They intensified the bullying, which made me even more aggressive.”

Rachel Louise Carson’s 107th birthday is immersed in marine wildlife Google Doodle

Google today celebrates the 107th birthday of American marine biologist, conservationist and writer Rachel Louise Carson, whose writings inspired a grassroots environmental movement that eventually led to the establishment of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

The stylised Google logo on the search engine’s homepage uses a spectrum of blue colour to illustrate Rachel Louise Carson –who appears in the Doodle armed with a backpack, notebook and binoculaurs – surrounded by marine-based wildlife.

Carson was born on this day in 1907 on a small family farm near Springdale, Pensylvania. It was here that her taste for exploring wildlife began and she began writing stories at just eight years old, and was first published by 11.

Biology and writing were forever entwined throughout Carson’s life. She originally studied English but switched her major to biology, going on to earn a master’s degree in zoology at Johns Hopkins University.

Enlightening Environmentalism

Her career began at the US Bureau of Fisheries, writing radio copy for a series of weekly educational broadcasts intended to generate public interest in aquatic life. She later became the second woman to be hired by the bureau for a full-time professional position when she became a junior aquatic biologist.

Carson’s writing on marine wildlife continued, and she contributed regularly to local newspapers and magazines. She turned her hand to writing books on the subject, starting with a bestselling trilogy published between 1941 and 1955, exploring the whole of ocean life.

By 1952, Carson had become a full-time nature writer and began to focus on her research on the environmental impact of synthetic pesticides such as DDT.

This led to the publication Silent Spring in 1962, a book credited with enlightening the American people to the impact of humans on the natural world and inspiring an environmentalist movement.

A Silent Spring Speaks out for the Environment

Silent Spring focused on the detrimental effects of pesticide overuse and, in it, Carson accused the chemical industry of spreading disinformation on the matter. Carson also predicted the consequences of increased use of pesticides, including resistance among those insects targeted. In Silent Spring, she calls for a biotic approach to pest control as an alternative.

Naturally, the chemical companies responsible for producing harmful pesticides protested, but Silent Spring and the public reaction that followed spurred a reversal in the US’s national pesticide policy regardless.

Carson discovered she had breast cancer while writing Silent Spring. Her health detoriorated through the early Sixties and, on 14 April 1964, she died of a heart attack at her home in Maryland.

However, her legacy continued and, in 1970, the Nixon Administration established the Environmental Protection Agency, a body that would be responsible for environmental concerns beyond agricultural policy. Much of the EPA’s early work was directly related to Carson’s research.

Carson received many awards and honours before her death and, in 1980, she was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom – the highest civilian honour in the United States.
