Boko Haram have limited knowledge of Islam – Soyinka

Noble laureate Professor Wole Soyinka has lashed at members of Boko Haram, saying they have limited knowledge of Islamic religion.

Speaking Monady in Port Harcourt at the opening of this year’s Rivers state education summit, organised by the state government Professor Soyinka said poor knowledge of the Koran was largely responsible for why Boko Haram should despise western education. *coughs*

In his words, “Boko Haram are not educated enough about their religion to know that some of the greatest philosophers came from the religion. They have been taught one track line (Monorail) about the religion. They need to be re educated about the religion”, he said. #True

Meanwhile, three schools were burnt down in Biu, a Borno State town, yesterday, as soldiers and gunmen believed to be members of the Boko Haram were locked in a gun battle. They are Godiya Primary school, Lajada Private school and Standard Private school. And I actually served in Maiduguri, Biu to be precise, when will Boko stop?
