HALL OF FAME POLITICS

WORDS OF WISDOM BY PROF. WOLE SOYINKA

 

@wole soyinka

“Those who unleashed Boko Haram on the nation are not poverty stricken. They are politicians …. desperate for power, intelligent enough or perceptive enough to recognise that the cocktail of politics and religious fundamentalism can only yield them dividends. They think they have nothing to lose. But the foot soldiers have been indoctrinated for years, from childhood. And they believe that their religion [Islam] is in danger … But Islam is not in danger. It is the pervert followers who are being used and who use others and proclaim that they are fighting for Islam ….

“Look at the histories of the world: Boko Haram, if not contained and eradicated, will be found in the heart of Lagos before you know it.”
