Now "the first sub-Saharan African to be honoured in that category" seems to imply that there were other Africans awarded before him. I didn't check the official Nobel website, but this Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African_Nobel_laureates) only has Albert Camus and Claude Simon before him, both of whom are French [respectively Algeria- and Madagascar-born].

@Ymblanter Albert Camus was a French colonialist known as a Pieds-Noir. They never assimilated into the native culture of Algeria because they viewed themselves as superior. The term “indigenous” was only given to the native Muslim inhabitants of Algeria because the Pieds-Noirs were seen as French, not African. Albert Camus and other Pieds-Noirs have always been described as French people. For this same reason, Rudyard Kipling was not an Indian or Asian. Kuing5 (talk) 22:12, 26 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
The current version says "first sub-Saharan African". This is correct and universally accepted by reliable sources. Replacing it by something which sonme sources believe is correct and others thik it is POV is not appropriate.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:17, 26 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

On Sunday, 20th November, 2022; during a public presentation of his two-volume collection of essays, Soyinka disclosed his religion as Mythologist from his statement which reads:
“Do I really need one (religion)? I have never felt I needed one. I am a mythologist.
“But religion? No, I don’t worship any deity. But I consider deities as creatively real and therefore my companions in my journey in both the real world and the imaginative world,” he said. [1]Maibadali (talk) 02:37, 22 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
