Even though ours is a patriarchal society, the Nobel Laureate has always described himself as "Ijegba", a word coined by him from his Ijebu and Egba roots. But the Ijegba man has lived in Lagos and made it a home like many Nigerians and foreigners alike. As a young lecturer, he began his teaching career at the University of Lagos. On account of his involvement in the struggle for social justice he has read poems and delivered speeches in Lagos to arouse the Nigerian people to fight tyranny and oppression. He has also led protests on the streets of Lagos against the dictatorial tendencies and excesses of the civilian and military wings of the ruling class.
