ozoigbondu:


Because he did not say it

OK. You're pardoned!

nduchucks:
ngwanu, Prof. Soyinka, you did not say that Igbos voted based on their stomachs, but you sir, know fully well that Igbo people believed the news reports.

Sodiafor, you just called Igbos Slowpokes. Nna, this is just as bad as saying that our people vote with their stomachs. How I wish Achebe were around to deal with you, sir.

You are a He goat... Must you twist words just to satisfy your sense of tribal bigotry?

ozoigbondu:
l knew he would deny it.They always deny it.Anyways time to modify some unsavoury comments l made in the other thread thanks to that ngeneukwuenu

if you are stable... you would understand that he mentioned there is a video....

nduchucks:


ngwanu, both you and the Prof are Slowpokes for believing that the story is not believable.

aderonila18:
Igbo people come and listen o, you guys are so easy to manipulate. How can a Nobel price winner make such a speech in Harvard and you mumus will believe that's possible

lolzzz... So if you something that someone said about you, u will go path the person‘ back.

I still do not think that that post was all lies. There must have been somethong that Soyinka said against the igbos in that place that trigered whoever that doctored the speech to go that far.

Remember that there is no smoke without fire.

PassingShot:


OK. You're pardoned!

I carefully refused to comment on the other thread until I heard from the horses mouth. Definitely, a major lecture of that nature would be recorded on video and very soon, the videos would be out on Youtube. I never believed Prof Soyinka could have made such a needless statement in public; some individuals are just well above certain things.

It is really sad that some unscrupulous entities would just sit behind a desk and conjure inflammatory statements to disturb public peace and cause disaffection... and now someone would tell me it is wrong if such a website is closed or the publishers arrested?

Whose horse's mouth?

Having you seen today's daily? Or should I help you?

The Cable is quickly turning into Saharareporters, publishing unverified stories

I was wondering how a well respected iconoclast would make such a silly statement.I guess everything Igbo draws traffic to their site hence they take every opportunity to write both truth and false stories about Igbos.It is high time government started clamping down on media organizations both online and offline who peddle false stories that have the potential of causing discord among ethnic groups and by extension insecurity in the country.

Dear Lawd, this thread is crawling with morons!

deletrue:
Can any person tell us why we should not regret having this class of people as Nigerians? Damn to many yeye and nonentities around us. Ok slowpoke. Oya quickly, issue warrant of arrest so that we go believe you. He is just denying it because of high degree of blames and the kind of descriptions that followed this thread. All those woman wrapper yoruba indio.ts. I know him he talks before thinking like Obasanjo. It is just in their blood.

Do you even realise this same soyinka you abuse was imprisoned because he protested against the army murdering biafrans, do you realise these same yorubas kept your jobs nd properties safe thru the war nd returned your job positions nd houses to you after the war unlike in the north.... do you realise he said the speech has a video as evidence that he didnt say such? Hatred wont get you anywhere than against God....Reason like a human being with a rational mind...

According to you, the Nobel community knew not what they were doing in 1986. Okay.

adeekiti:
But why would someone sit in his/her house and carry fake news, mehn e no easy to be a celebrity o

there is atom of truth in every romour. There is no smoke without fire.

Soyinka has not told us all the truth.

He should publish his lecture note un edited online, let all of us read it.

Jokay07:
I just checked the factual meaning and features of a ''slowpoke'' now, believe you me, Soyinka was right, you acted like one of those slowpokes Soyinka was refering to.

hahahahahaha

so u didnt know d meaning of "slowpoke" before now ?

guy u need to expand ur vocabs

u need to send appreciations to Wole for making u learn a new word

note dat i didnt bliv dat he said that, cos he is someone i respect so much

but what i am saying is dat, he shd not expect EVERYONE to doubt what ever is in the media. Then calling THOSE who ignorantly belivd "slowpoke" is not the best!! Thats what i think bro.

Any body who believes any news on the Internet as 100% truth is fool

ozoigbondu:
l knew he would deny it.They always deny it.Anyways time to modify some unsavoury comments l made in the other thread thanks to that ngeneukwuenu

you are a slowpoke just like Soyinka said. Were you at the event?why are you doubting him? Keeping hating what you can't achieve or change

I said it yesterday on that tread.....Igbos r emotional.....and cry babies....very easy to manipulate......and will fail in any fight.......the same reason Biafra failed.. ...how can they have believed that a Soyinka will say such.. Even before my Soyinka said anything......I said it was impossible for him to have said that......

The journalist who wrote falsely against Soyinka must be brought to book
Journalist writing rubbish since 1800

stabillo:
Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has denied describing Igbo as people who vote based on their stomach.

Some online media had quoted Soyinka as saying Igbo were politically naive while delivering a lecture titled ‘Predicting Nigeria, Electoral Ironies’ at Harvard University Hutchins Centre for African and African American Research in the United States.

He was quoted as saying “Igbo remained unrepentant and resolute towards their strategic objective of secession at worst; or a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction at best.”

However, Soyinka said in a statement on Thursday that it was unfortunate that people could tell lies against him.

The playwright described those peddling the rumour as morons who have ulterior motives.

He said his entire lecture delivered at Harvard University was recorded on video and anyone who was interested could access it on the Internet.

He said: "I have just read a statement attributed to me on something called The Cable, a news outlet, evidently one of the Internet infestations. My lecture at the Hutchins Centre, Harvard University, was video recorded. Anyone who believes what I am alleged to have said must be a slowpoke – repeat, a slowpoke. It is demeaning, sickening and boring to have to deal with these cowards who cannot fight their own battles but must fasten their imbe
cilic pronouncements on others. Only the mentally retarded will credit this comment attributed to me regarding the Ndigbo voting pattern in the last elections. I strongly suspect the author of this despicable concoction, and may make a further statement, once the source is verified.” the statement read

OH CHINWE ACHEBE MY MENTOR . U PASS DIS MAN BY FAR . RIP ACHEBE.

It is not by big big grammar if Soyinka want to speak big grammer he should go and face Obahiagbon. What we are saying is that he should stop making stupid and unguarded statement and respect his old age or else he will be insulted.Hoha

What should he learn from the Achebe, the unrepentant bitter bigot and hate peddler that wrote a book admonishing and abusing every other tribe that isn't yibhoe.

Achebe of cursed memory died bitter because he never won the nobel prize.

Igbo's are too emotional, very soon someone will write the Obama insulted the Igbos and some morons will believe

Lame accusations and conjectures.....But in the other thread,you were clapping for Soyinka.why are you now trying to make scape goats out of those against which Soyinko developed buccal diarhorea...bleeping Southwest coward hypocrite.

HAHA, your plans to discredit WORD SMITH didn't work this time.

chrisbaba1:

well talking about video evidence. Who did the recording? Has it been edithed? These are what we must ask ourselves. Another thing is, can there be smoke without fire.

What i know is that there must be some level of truth in tha write up

LordExecutioner:

Achebe of cursed memory died bitter because he never won the nobel prize.

pls respect a dead man , who is known all over the world.

He said it but it was in a different context about massob and yibhoe elites.

That is the truth about yibhoes but he goofed by denying it outrightly.

They are usually the ones writing such comments to start unnecessary ethnic rivalry.
