HARDtalk, Wole Soyinka - Nobel Literature Laureate:

Summary (because someone will ask!)
Buhari won first election by default
Choice between devil and hard place
Nigeria not peculiar with ex military presidents
Wrote on toilet paper while in prison. Made own pen and soyink.
Became inventive and innovative in prison
Youths (young minds) should mobilise - the ashamed, seen different, not complacent
Democracy a continuous process. If present fails we must take risk
Youth leader Olisa Agbakogba sought approval of old foggy and got highjacked
Corruption humongous problem, but there's been change, no more business as usual, pass for Buhari
Young have to know country is theirs.
President should have stopped boko haram when states declared Sharia
Buhari was slow responding to herdsmen crisis, apathetic like Jonathan.
Not into African languages prefers lingua franca
Wants to be read by all and not just Yorubas
There's more.
