Soyinka you are not through yet? You are still calling us names- slowpoke. Good for a supposed civilized gentleman or your own education doesn't involve civilization?

Not all Igbos believed the rubbish they ascribed to Soyinka even before this rebuttal came out because they have plenty grey matter which they used for thinking and they knew a distinguished citizen of Soyinka's calibre would never descend into the sewers and gutters of bigotry with the likes seen on nairaland.

His description is for the numskulls who believed that thrash and indeed, whoever they are, wherever they come from, they are irredeemable slowpokes without exception

Chigold101:
i am Igbo without APOLOGY sir... Wole SOYINKA is just playing the same game Oba of Lagos & that funny Doctor who lives in USA played.

They all speak before thinking. It is a pity.

Am a PROUD BIAFRAN...

Soyinka spent 22 months in prison for the biafran cause,.. He did more for biafra than you have.

Ode watch the video b4 spewing thrash...crazy chestbeaters

You are the one bereft of thinking! If you were thinking, you'd realise that the political climate in Nigeria is still very sensitive, and the tendency for even people, who would have been normally considered to be above board, being suspect is high!!! It's not Seun instigating a war, it's the originator of such an irresponsible write-up that is the problem! And rather than drag Seun into this, it's the MODS who should have done due diligence on the article that should receive the flak!

I don't know how to label your own brand of clueless, but please sometimes a "no comment" hides the virulence of our idiocy! Try it more often!

You're not only clueless, you're also very dense. Did you not blame GMB for the AIT debacle even after it was very obvious the man had nothing to to with it?

How many times do threads bordering on bigotry hit the front page? How many times have sensible people cried out about what NL has become? Is the owner on a trip to mars that he's not being seeing the descent of his creation?

If you have nothing sensible to say, pls shut up

To show you how dense you are, you assumed that I must have made a comment about Buhari and AIT Lol! This is Nairaland...A simple search would cure your brand of madness!! Olodo!

Only a DUNCE, suffering from neurological damage mixed in with a little dash of psychosis would ever ascribe such a statement to "Kongi the boss"! Nigerians are the easiest set of people to deceive on earth!

Yawnn.

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 imbecilic 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

NIGERIA'S DIVERSITY IS ACTUALLY A BLESSING TO HER.

IF ONLY MISCREANTS WILL RESPECT THEMSELVES OR BE DEALT WITH IF THEY THINK THEY CAN PLAY WITH NIGERIA'S UNITY.

PEOPLE MUST PUT ASIDE "I AM YORUBA, IGBO OR HAUSA". IT SHOULD BE "I AM A NIGERIAN".

Let no one think/device evil for his neighbour , and let us learn to trust one another.

Then the world would truly be afraid of Nigeria, because as it stands, Nigeria's stagnancy is embedded in her ethnic bigotry: if any action is taken, every group will check if it's done to work against them/not. Which nation ever grows with such attitude?

Congrats on not being 1diotic enough to join in the bash GMB bandwagon

I don't have to go on a search to identify the slowpoke erudite Soyinka had in mind.

If you believed the great man said the rubbish ascribed to him, you're a slowpoke. That's Soyinka's verdict and I am in full agreement.

I can literally see your sluggish mind trying to crank up! If you had better judgement, you'd admit that even Soyinka's use of the word "slowpoke" belittles his person! One can disagree, but not be disagreeable!! If you choose to quote him, like the intellectual repeater station that you are, you can; the only problem is, Soyinka can get away with it, you can't. While he comes out smelling like roses, you'd be smelling of putrid vomit!!!

I thought as much,Soyinka will not be so stupid to make such a comment.

he is more stupid than you think

Anyone who believed it is retarded. This is a man who went to prison for months for the same Igbos

See the definition of the word Soyinka used which was translated "slowpoke"

1 usually offensive : a person affected with mild mental retardation
2 : a very stupid person

Its not an insult....its a description meant to be offensive. Get a dictionary and cure your ignorance.

Once again, if you believe the Soyinka who spoke up for the deprived people of the Niger Delta in their agitation against the FG said all that rubbish ascribed to him, you're a SLOWPOKE incapable of rational thought.

If you believe the same Soyinka who went to jail for defending the biafran cause, would say all that trash ascribed to him, you're nothing but a SLOWPOKE.

relax bruv ...the man just denied that he said anything about the ndigbos ....
please watch the video , Soyinka is too educated to utter such word please

Soyinka is too educated to utter such word against the Ndigbos ...Soyinka is not tribalist and he has gone to jail for speaking against tribalism . case closed
