Aluu 4 killings: Prof Soyinka said his Is The Height Of Man Inhumanity To Man

Professor Soyinka, who spoke on the ALUU 4 killings on thursday, in Port Harcourt, and at the public presentation of Port Harcourt as UNESCO World Book capital for 2014, said it was so painful watching the video clips of how the students were beaten, paraded like he-goats, beaten to coma and later burnt to death Professor Soyinka said Boko Haram and other allied movements that wage war against civility and enlightenment were fighting against humanity in the Country. he also said said i believe that if we surrender to these banal forces in our society, we would cease to be human beings because we succumb completely to fear and it is the same message we must take to those in this nation, who believe that books are wrong. He said that he don’t care whether they call themselves the final defenders of the pure road and the ultimate salvation or call themselves Boko Haram. Boko Haram and all organisations, all movements that wage war against books, against literacy, against education, enlightenment in any form have declared war, not on the state, but on humanity itself and in spite of such setbacks, in spite of such horrors we have the responsibility to support and to sustain efforts such as being made by Rainbow Club and allied societies and organisations around the World. This recognition indicates very clearly that something, at least, is going right in Nigeria despite the avalanche of negativities.Professor Soyinka said. Mind You, The English Above are really High and wierd, so get yourself a dictionary, after all, he's A PROFESSOR who has won one of the first ever Africa Nobel Price. RESPECT SIR
