Soyinka with Amanpour
The Nobel laureate — Wole Soyinka, who was invited to CNN, spoke on the kidnapped of the Chibok school girls.
Soyinka said: “This is a government which is not only in denial mentally, but in denial about certain obvious steps to take.”
“It’s one of those rather child-like situations that if you shut your eyes, if you don’t exhibit the tactile evidence of the missing humanity here, that somehow the problem will go away.”

He also added that: It is not just “a Nigerian problem. I’m calling for the international community, the United Nations – this is a problem. This is a global problem. And a foothold is being very deeply entrenched in West Africa.”
When he was asked if he believes Jonathan is in denial, Soyinka answered and said; “It’s not only he. It’s the advisers around him. It’s a certain section of the nation, some of whom enjoy for various reasons a nation in a state of chaos. They profit by it, and in fact some of them are guilty of provoking the situation.”
“The person who has no excuse is the president of the nation.” He also referred to Shekau’s video as a “charade” and “gleeful obscenity” the Nobel laureate added.
