Nobel
Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has condemned the rate at which Nigerian leaders
consult marabouts, prophets and other spiritualists in a bid to hold onto
political power against the peoples' wishes.
He disclosed
that political leaders are offering blood sacrifice to remain in power at all
cost...
Adding that
the situation is encouraging students to join cultism, and that the rot in the
nation’s education system was trickling down to secondary and primary schools.
Prof Soyinka
made the revelation in Port Harcourt on Monday at a 2-day education summit. The
renowned author noted that normal university cultures like fraternities had
become cultism.
He said,
“Give me the name of any head of state who has not been consulting marabouts
and prophets and so on, sacrificing goats, animals in the dead of night to
receive a third term in office and so on. And then you start blaming students?
"They
are imitating the same thing the infirmity society itself has become. So, they
can no longer distinguish between a genuine fraternity and a secret cult of
which society is riddled all the way from the top."
