Season of fakery galore, by Wole Soyinka

Here we go again, the same boring, illiterate public interlopers who lack the courage of their conviction and must steal the identities of their betters. One can only hope that the public has learnt to identify FAKE NEWS and join in the urgent task of exposing and disgracing these despicable touts.

For the avoidance of doubt, I have not even THOUGHT 2023, much less inserted candidates into coveted positions. The signature of this latest moron is familiar – he or she does not even know the difference between “Laureate and Laurel”. This is an ancient forgery being recycled for the umpteenth time. Those who pass it around do themselves and their recipients a disservice. Find something worthwhile to occupy your time.

The email account of the year’s Nobel “Laurel” was hacked by these same agents to publicise my demise, so who is this still politicking WS “Laurel”?
