Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka believes geography is more important than history.

Says Soyinka: 'History can always be cooked up, written from the winner's point of view. History is 90 percent fiction. Geography is the material reality from which everything else derives."

Soyinka's dictum also explains why arrogant frauds like George W Bush and his venal supporters do what they do and get away with it.

We are all on his hit list.
