Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka has said that the security challenges facing the country cannot be solved by prayers, but by competence.
Soyinka, who was a keynote speaker at a colloquium with the theme: “Fundamental Imperatives of Cohabitation, Faith and Secularism” organised by Centre for Black Culture and International Understanding (CBCIU) in Osogbo, said he received with shock the new of Nyanya Motor Park bombing, calling for a frank talk among relevant stakeholders to end the spate of bombings.
Referring to a report in a newspaper recently which credited him as saying that the nation’s security challenges could be resolved through prayers, Soyinka said the Boko Haram insurgency should not be mistaken for a religious war, insisting that prayers alone cannot end the violence.
