WOLE SOYINKA SAYS WORLD WAR 3 MAY BE INITIATED BY A NIGERIAN
Joseph Omoniyi
Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has revealed that a third world war may start in Nigeria, by a Nigerian through the circulation of fake news.
Speaking at a symposium in Abuja on Wednesday, Soyinka identified fake news as a threat to mankind.
“I’ve said this before that fake news may cause World War 3 and the fake news will be started by a Nigerian,” the literary icon said.
He added, “During the last Presidential election I was quoted as saying that it serves President Jonathan right for marrying an illiterate.
“Sometimes some people quote me as saying if you vote for a particular candidate, your mother is a goat or your father is a gorilla.”
