Soyinka Brands Trump a Master Liar and Global Threat
Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka has harshly criticized Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the US presidency, labeling him as a masterful deceiver and a significant threat to global stability.
In a recent interview with TheNEWS, which coincided with celebrations marking Soyinka’s 90th birthday, the renowned playwright and poet expressed his profound disapproval of Trump.
Soyinka highlighted Trump’s skill in manipulating public perception, noting that Trump’s understanding of the American psyche allowed him to effectively tap into emotions and beliefs to garner support.
Soyinka remarked, “Trump’s ability to comprehend and exploit the American mindset has been instrumental in shaping his influence, enabling him to convince people to believe his statements, regardless of their veracity.”
Soyinka went on to emphasize that, in his view, Trump represents an unprecedented level of dishonesty in the political arena. He asserted that the world has rarely seen someone who can lie as convincingly as Trump does.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
