Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, and Bayelsa State Governor, Mr. Seriake Dickson, on Friday said Nigeria was negotiable. They stated this at an event tagged, “A Day with Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, and Ijaw Literary Icons.”
The event was part of the activities marking the inauguration of the Ijaw National Academy, Kaiama. Soyinka said the assumption that Nigeria is non-negotiable was a falsity, insisting that anything, including the country’s unity, was negotiable. He, however, said what could not be negotiated was the right of the people to determine their future.
Soyinka, while fielding questions from students of the academy and a renowned poet, Mr. Odia Ofiemun, on whether Nigeria should break up or not, insisted that such an argument sounded “hypocritical, dogmatic and dictatorial.”
