Before you comment blindly fo there and read what your fellows were saying about igbos.

Personally I denied the report because I have met Soyinka personally and know he is too big to say such.

But in country where I single tribe is single out for nonsense from yorubas then yorubas must be ready to have their heads filled with same thrash they want to pour on others.

Elections have come and gone but the yoruba media is more interest in how igbos vote than how yorubas & hausafulanis voted.

Why is igbo vote so over important to your people?

Sadly, ibo people are super sensitive, extremely sentimental and overreact to anything so people exploit these traits and manipulate them to get them going uncontrollably..

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

Chigold101:
my brother thank you for this point. Many people hailed the post. Many of them said it the exact style of igbo voting. Many of them supported whoever the wrote that story. And many of the name calling & bashing of the Prof came from people reacting to the responses of many people.

I personally have to bash ngeneukwunu who was first to comment on that thread (after posting it) for saying things so funny against our tribe.

Suggestion:
Now that many of us have appologised to Prof Soyinka, I think it will also be a good thing if those people who bashed igbos because of that thread should also appologise to the Igbos.

ACM10:
The two Yoruba journalists that broke that story must be fired. The mod that pushed the story to the homepage without cross checking its accuracy and credibility must be demoted to a sectional mod.

NewNigeriaMind:
Watch as the children of anger avoid this thread.


Permit me to say.


All the idiots that

1. Compared the noble laureate to achebe are basic morons.

2. The other group whose fathers can't lift soyinka shoes but called him names are grand morons.


Finally, this event has shown how easy it is to bring out the worse in Nigerians. All the ethic warriors I am ashamed to be called a Nigeria along you guys.


The question is, why are the Igbo people so sensitive. If people were less sensitive and waited to confirm the veracity of statement, they would have sooner than layer discovered it's a lie.

Really patience is a virtue.

GOD bless you more wole soyinka. You are indeed a special bread.

XBLadez:

Bros, Ngeneukwunu is not Igbo. She just understands the language

NewNigeriaMind:



And this shows how moronic igbo people are, a set of morons ruled by their emotions.

They will believe anything just about everything.

raumdeuter:
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
