Boko Haram death threat: SSS advises Wole Soyinka to shave beard

Awesome Afro!


 


Abuja – There are concerns over the welfare of Nigerian Nobel laureate, writer, poet, and playwright, Wole Soyinka, after he revealed that his name is on the hit list of bomb throwers, Boko Haram.


Soyinka, a national treasure by any standards and the winner of Best Afro in Nigeria for many years running, also revealed that Nigerian security services have thus far made no tangible efforts to protect him against the terrorist group.


New evidence uncovered however suggests that contrary to what some may think, the SSS are actually taking the death threat seriously and have put measures in place to protect Soyinka.


Amongst suggestions put forward by the security agency is an appeal to the Nobel laureate to shave off his afro and beard.


Said a SSS agent: “Nobody will recognise him without this beard so we have told him to cut it off, and to start peaking in broken English.”

By giving him such funny advise ,SSS are already washing off their hands in case any thing happens to uncle Wole.Simply means they cannot protect him. But am sure that if Uncle Wole really feels threatened,he knows what to do,to protect himself.

If they do any thing to harm W.S. the resultant effect will be too much for Nigeria to bear as a country.

It seems funny but the SSS approach for Prof. Soyinka's security might work, altering appearance really make a good disguise. And the Prof. should not find that difficult with all his background in taking over a radio station as an unknown soldier in the days of yore, I believed he disguised then too.

Why are guys talking this man in this manner he knows what he is saying this is a country where there is no security instead of building security our leaders are busing importing good from the abroad in order to gain from it.In a country where there is leader we are just living the life of an animal that has no control over his live.Nigerian will one day turn back on you people that urself our leaders.
