How to Prevent Nigeria from Breaking Up -Soyinka reveals
Nigerian Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, on Wednesday said that Nigeria is likely to break up following the massacre of thousands of innocent citizens in the hands of members of the radical Islamist sect, Boko Haram.
The Nobel Laureate, who made this known to Reuters at his Abeokuta residence, Ogun State, said the only way to stop the impending break up from happening is through enhanced unity between Muslims and Christians.
Speaking further, he reiterated that Nigeria is undergoing a higher massacre in the hands of Islamists when compared to what happened during the country’s Civil War.
“The bloodshed is now worse than during the 1967-70 Civil War when a secessionist attempt by the Eastern region nearly tore the country into ethnic regions,” he said.
According to him, the horrors caused by the sect had shown Nigerians that unity might be the only way to avoid even greater sectarian slaughter.
“We have never been confronted with butchery on this scale, even during the civil war. There were atrocities during the war, but we never had such a near predictable level of carnage and this is what is horrifying,” Soyinka said.
