Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 1900 (Encyclopædia Universalis; Dictionary of African Biography; ascleiden.nl; general catalog of BnF) or in 1899 (Who's Who in African Literature).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
