Prof. Wole Soyinka berates the Nigerian government for attempting to undermine the symposium.

He noted that he talks to nationals and groups from a variety of countries, but the Nigerian government begrudges him the ability to speak to a predominantly Nigerian audience.

After enumerating many instances of national disappointment, the laureate called on progressive Nigerians to start identifying sound candidates for electoral offices, and to resolve to make their votes count.
