Have you watched the video?

The newspaper that published the story has apologised.

It's so stupid of someone to do such and laugh over the outcome

Remarkable:


That is eh? it beats me!

I read the first time it broke on NL and I did ask where in that particular OP it stated Igbos were greedy...

Unfortunately, dear Wole, it is your kinsmen that seem to be more preoccupied with Igbo presidency than Igbos themselves, and so I suspect those Yorubas that can't stop talking about Igbos...to be the ones that had no shame in printing such fallacy against you.

You defined them aptly though: cowards.

.. and morons of course. Desperate moddafuc-king morons.

Rilwayne001:
God bless you sir.

Cocroach. You were running around with the initial story, hyperventilating, celeberating and salivating at the unbelievabe prospect of recruiting yet another "heavy weight" into your ballooning army of genocidal xenophobes. . , then a rebuttal from wole and you are all righteousness already. . , which of your tribal gods will bless him? That your sky diving god of hate!? Child of anger!!

Have you watched the video?

Yes ...he just mentioned some people follow their stomach to vote ..he did not state a peculiar tribe , ..it could be any tribe ,

There is a context, but not a justifiable context! The context he basked in was the hate and bitterness towards Igbos. It's not justifiable!

Zeus777:
now there is no such thing as context? Ok I hear u

naijainfogalery:
i just knew it, Wole Soyinka wouldnt say such, the man that defended the igbos during the civil war, that is risked his life would now suddenly come out and say those words this is someone that did not publicly congratulate Buhari.

This is one reason why i hate Nigerian Journalist, they are as corrupt as our politicians. The annoying thing is that they wouldnt even apologise or verify any news

No. Its not the journalist. But the self acclaimed ones. I.e the bloggers. They have bastardized news and the profession or journalism

"There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behaviour that can offend; by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness"
.............Chinua Achebe.

Seriously, Igbo need to look inward and make conscious effort to correct the generally negative impression others in Nigeria have about them due directly or indirectly to the above observation by no less an Igboman than Prof. Chinua Achebe!

A situation where Igbo Elders (or any tribal leadership for that matter) called out the Igbo or its tribal membership to vote for a particular candidate is to be deprecated. Truth is, it is wrong and puts the tribe in question in a disadvantaged position (but for the magnanimity of the winner they derided) where they turn out to be backing the wrong horse! Folks should vote guided by their conscience and issues of good governance.

Chigold101:
