The Credo of Being and Nothingness

Exploring the interplay between religion and national identity, this lecture series by Nigeria's first Nobel Laureate examines the diverse religions within Nigeria and their global counterparts. Soyinka provocatively argues that many belief systems treat the material world as a temporary phase, leading to a universal negation of existence. His insights challenge readers to reflect on the implications of faith and the concept of time, making this work both thought-provoking and relevant to contemporary discussions on spirituality and existence.
