Just a piece of advice :), before you read this post, I would advice you to listen to this track by MI titled "Bad Belle". It will help you digest the article properly, Lol.

Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has condemned the crudity of words used by politicians in the ongoing electioneering campaign, describing it as an “uncultured art of political persuasion,” which he said the presidency is guilty of.
