Nigerian leaders, he said, were in the habit of sacrificing animals in order to remain in power. Soyinka spoke in Port Harcourt on Monday at a two-day education summit.
He observed that the situation was encouraging students to join cultism, adding that the rot in the nation’s education system was trickling down to secondary and primary schools.
The renowned author, who chaired the occasion, noted that normal university cultures like fraternities had been misconstrued to mean cultism.
He said, “Give me the name of any head of state who has not been consulting marabouts and prophets and so on, sacrificing goats, animals in the dead of night to receive a third term in office and so on and then you start blaming students, they are imitating the same thing the infirmity society itself has become.

I respect you, Soyinka, ever from my primary School. But I see nothing wrong with sacrifices done, as you claim, by our Politicians because even the Bible supports human sacrifice talk less of Animal. Only they should sacrifice to make things better for Nigerians to achieve better economy and great height in technology. White Men sacrifice everyday!
