Nigeria's Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, on Tuesday disclosed how he survived cancer.
According to PREMIUM TIMES, Soyinka made the disclosure during at a press conference at the June 12 Cultural Centre, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Soyinka said he was diagnosed with cancer last December.
He said, "For me, this is not a decision which I like but I felt I have all obligation, being a member of African Cancer Centre, and also having even donated a performance during the festival, fund raising for cancer, I am under obligation to make it known and to also demystify cancer.
"Many people feel it is a death sentence. Family feel it; friends, colleagues, they begin to look at you as if you are a ghost once there is rumour you have cancer. No, cancer is not a death sentence, it is curable, I have undergone the treatment and I am able to tell you that I even have a model, that’s my certificate.
