Nigerian oil mogul and billionaire, Mr Tonye Patrick Cole, has narrated his recent flight experience which was an encounter he witnessed between the Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, and a young Nigerian, who asked the octogenarian to stand up on a seat originally allocated to him (the young man) in the aircraft. My smile gives me away as he permitted the picture whereas he would have preferred to get back to his newspapers. Then we boarded the flight and after assisting him with his bags, he took the window seat and promptly started reading again. ALSO READ:“A few minutes later this young man, baseball cap, t-shirt to show his muscled chest and tattooed biceps boards the plane and tells Prof he is on his seat (which he was). He insisted Prof should vacate his window seat, which the old man quietly did for his original aisle seat next to him.
