In a candid revelation, Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka has shared his preference for wine over water, citing that water merely takes up space without providing the necessary inspiration and satisfaction.
During an interview with CNN’s Larry Madowo, Soyinka elaborated on his unique choice, stating, “Water just takes up space and you know and it belongs to other commodities. So, I am not keen on water. I avoid water as much as possible.” He further explained that wine serves a dual purpose for him, either aiding in sleep or sparking creativity.
