Now would all the insults sent in Soyinkas way from the children of anger be retracted ?

Most of them are actually jealous of the Nobel prize which none of their generation can never achieve

worst part is they won't take it back , they know they are wrong, they know the truth now , but as usual , they will ignore this story , pretend as if they didn't see it , yeye people

How dare these imbeciles of "The Cable newspapers" insult God's anointed tribe of Nigeria?

Its only the Igbos who massively voted the right way.

They keep spreading false information all to get internet traffic and cheap popularity. At least these ones came out to retract the statement and apologize.

Retards, imbeciles, morons!!! cheesy

I NEVER for once believed he made such idiotic and inflammatory statements, because if after profiling the Prof, a man of great repute and stature, it is only unlearned people who will believe he said such nonsense, and in front of such a prestigious crowd as Havard's for that matter!

They want to pull Kongi down. Their plan o wa failure. The reactions and name calling made me deeply ashamed of some people here. Where's slimmy05? Who's the baby now?

Retards, repeat, retards... Internet infestations angry

As for The 'Babble', Kongi should treat their fuckup with genteel savagery. Junk journalists angry

In soyinka's shoes, I would not let this go until thecable or thetable goes under for good. More injury has been inflicted than this pathetic apology can cure.

Senseless people with no form of journalistic integrity. You don't go about toying with people's hard earned reputation coz of paper sales and/or tribal hate.

More pathetic are the unreasonable slowpokes on nairaland that bank on any pitiable print from wee-brains like themselves to lash out at the yorubas and their icons without any form of story verification. *In Mama peace' voice* Your brains are dead and you should all bury your heads in shame.

Stop being hypocritical
You can only blame one side if the other stayed aloof. However there were myriad Yoruba's who went on that thread to affirm that all Igbo's are indeed greedy and that the "statements" about them were a true representation of facts.
What the Yoruba's should have done was to disavow such statements on behalf of Wole Soyinka. You can't affirm it, curse Igbo people on top of it and them expect the same people to become apologetic, later on.

The people to blame here are the journalist and maybe the person that posted the info on Nairaland. EOD

That Media house should be shut down. The Nigerian media, for the most part, has no integrity and that has to change

TheCable were in a hurry to be the first news outlet to make the lecture public. As such, could not present the Prof correctly. TheCable have got what they wanted--the sales. Believe all you read in the news media at your own peril.

And people were in a hurry to insult Soyinka. Nawa for Naija peeps o. This mentality of 'bring him down' is annoying and distasteful. I kept mum over the matter cos I was doubting the story. Patience is important biko. Lets think properly before commenting, likewise confirming from a reliable source before pouring ur hatred
My brother, I thank God I refused to comment or like any post on that thread because I felt very strongly that the amiable prof wouldn't say that. Patience and self control are good virtues.

. Let see how some people will apologise as they so gullible coupled with hate to accept a rumour to be a fact.

since they r so good in calling others to apologise, if not ICC will be the judge; let see if they have any iota of dignity or shame in them.
Is just a pity how we populate the media spewing hate n incendiary comments about one another that the world can tell the difference and predict so easily our stand on any topical issue by our names. sad I so feel sorry the anti-Yoruba robots n the anti-Igbo robots too; especially the future of ur children. You know yourself.

You can see why buhari aids ban AIT from covering them?
They will go about lying fabricating what you never said for once.
Does freedom of speech said we should be lying too?
Is it democratic too?

Power of fake journalism on display. If I were Prof. Wole, I would ensure that they are closed down for good.

It goes to show that it's very easy to cause problem in this country. We don't like ourselves at all.
