Social media is taking humanity backwards – Wole Soyinka

Nobel laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka is worried about the negative use of social media, saying it is now in the hands of “ignoramuses.”

Mr. Soyinka said this at an interactive session during the launch of his book titled “The Putin Files: Excursions Around The Ideology Of Pain” in Lagos on Friday, June 16.

He averred that the wrong usage of technology is fast taking humanity backwards due to the use of profiling and abusive words.

While stating that is not a fan of social media, Soyinka said; “I don’t tweet, I don’t WhatsApp. I tried WhatsApp but I stopped.”
