Nobel Laureate and pioneer Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) chairman Professor Wole Soyinka, in an interview with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) periodical, "Zero Tolerance"...
On his idea of confraternities in Nigeria, Soyinka says:
"Everybody knows that fraternities are a normal culture in all colleges. It exists in all colleges.
"President Clinton was a member of a fraternity. In fact, anybody who goes to college in the United States is a member of a college fraternity. There is absolutely nothing evil or occultic about fraternity.
"But here, the media is largely responsible for fuelling the ignorance of society of the words 'cultism' and 'fraternity'.
"This is a disservice and I have said it again and again. There are evil cults, whose members must prove themselves by going to rape. There are others whose entry is to slash or eat somebody or rob; it has nothing to do with college fraternity.
"The media owes the responsibility to constantly tell the public the truth. But they go on and children grow up, believing that college fraternity is Satanic, demonic and this is wrong."
