Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has revealed what may likely trigger a third world war.
Speaking at a symposium in Abuja on Wednesday, the literary icon identified fake news as a threat to mankind and may cause the third world war.
During the last Presidential election, Soyinka said he was quoted as saying that it serves former President, Goodluck Jonathan right for marrying an illiterate after he lost at the polls.
He said, “I’ve said this before that fake news may cause World War 3 and the fake news will be started by a Nigerian.”
He added, “During the last Presidential election I was quoted as saying that it serves President Jonathan right for marrying an illiterate.
“Sometimes some people quote me as saying if you vote for a particular candidate, your mother is a goat or your father is a gorilla.”
