#BringBackOurGirls: Nigeria’s Government Acting Like Children – Wole Soyinka

Professor Wole Soyinka in an interview with CNN’s Amanpour said that the search for the over 200 abducted Chibok girls is now ‘beyond the capacity’ of the Nigerian government. Still on the same interview aired yesterday, the Nobel Laurette said, “This is a government which is not only in denial mentally, but in denial about certain obvious steps to take.” He went further to state that ““It’s one of those rather child-like situations that if you shut your eyes, if you don’t exhibit the tactile evidence of the missing humanity here, that somehow the problem will go away.” The professor also said that Nigeria’s president Jonathan and his advisers are in denial about the issue.


“It’s not only he. It’s the advisers around him. It’s a certain section of the nation, some of whom enjoy for various reasons a nation in a state of chaos. They profit by it, and in fact some of the, are guilty of provoking the situation.”

“The person who has no excuse is the president of the nation.”
