Kongi and the madmen
By Yinka Odumakin
THIS must be a distressful season for Professor Wole Soyinka as Nigeria journeys through its peculiar season of Kongi and the madmen. The Prof has spent almost a lifetime teaching in the classroom as well as national and international fora to know well enough that some people are uneducable.
I am still deciphering the “leap of faith” that came upon him last week that he granted an interview to the BBC where he talked about the herdsmen war at our doorstep and dictating to President Muhammadu Buhari the words that should be flowing from his presidency at a moment like this.
