Hmmm...All the Igbo ethnic jingoists who wrongfully but gleefully attacked Wole Soyinka must tender their apology on this thread ASAP or they remain slowpokes forever!!!!
I think all the yoruba ethnic bigot who wrongfully supported what soyinka said in that other thread, must tender their apology on this thread or remain monkeys and baboons forever!!!! because that was what fuelled the anger of Ndigbo.

I guess apologies are in order from people like myself....who thought that the Prof made those regrettable comments.

and still I didn't fail to notice that he hasn't been quoted otherwise, that was just a mere apology, and they haven't strongly told us the part which was misrepresented.

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. D U M B O S!!

I knew it was very unlikely that Soyinka made that statement. However, everyone who agreed with and supported the alleged utterance has the non-functional brain and ought to bury their heads in shame.

Learn to speak truth, will u? All these news and rumours are deliberate acts by ur people to taunt the Igbos, ain't they?


Wow,

How.many negative publication has been written about the Yorubas, it's numerous. Do you see Yorubas shouting and screaming all the time.

My point is, too much sensitivity is bad. Not all wrongs are worth fighting, sometimes you let things slide cause you are bigger.

But I assure the rest of Nigerians don't take you guys serious anymore, we know you are all over sensitive lot. You should see what bello rufai wrote on twitter.

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

If you eventually make it in life, am sure one day you will apologize for this comment

There must be a correlation.D cable can not just fabricate such story wit deep tribal implication and attribute it to no one else but prof on d same day he was @harvard.out of d abundance of d heart,d mouth speaks.I'm suspecting dat portion of speech was earlier contained in his speech made available to Cable Ng and he later changed his mind abt it,dat controversial portion fits perfectly wit his address and d topic he delivered.imo,Ds apology looks so shallow and so forcefully done without remorse.let prof institute legal action if he is unconnected to it not just to cal people who believe d story slowpokes.I believe he has something to do wt dat.

Why is it that it's poor people that are usually tribalistic?!
You can't see somebody with an estate in Ajah saying he wants Biafra, for what na, to start from where again?!
Or the iya loja saying Igbos should go, who's gonna pay the levy?!

A patient dog eats the fattest bone. Yorubas cannot be easily deceived by deception in any form. The yorubas are not betrayers or hypocrites but intelligent and patient people in the face of trials and tribulations.

Yes! you guys have a proven record of eating the fattest bone, keeping the lean ones for the hausas, while we Igbos eat both flesh.

Stay patient in ur circle of poverty

You have lied! Just mention how many times an article has been published to spite the Yorubas recently? And if you don't take us serious why always talk about us? Stop deceiving urself abeg
Why should I even care about what Bello Rufai wrote when he's neither Soyinka, Ola Rotimi or Achebe?

Is obj yoruba? Yes then yes we'llbelieve it. We know you ppl hatred. name one tribalistic article written by anyone else besides your own people. Since the last election, name one other person insulting igbos besides your tribe. Even the north that did the actual winning have yet to comment but alas the slaves are the one shouting on top of their mouth as if they did the actual winning.

Anything ascribed to a yoruba is believed. Other tribes we'll wait for confirmation.

See, in my world. Chidinma or what's her name don't exist neither does achebe. To me, they are both ethic warlords. As such, I don't even read anything they publish whether good or bad.


I have a question for you, has achebe ever fought for the Nigerian people or this new girl?

Lol
See how you advertise you moronic height.
Abeg who come be you o? You want to know if they have fought for nigeria & and you would not read their book but want those who do to come and educate you?

Try comedy, I think that's where you fall into.

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
oga,if your Oba would make more damaging remarks than that and many yorubas on this forum cued behind him and even going to the extent of calling Igbos slaves even in this 21st century, why wont i believe anything they say coming from any Yoruba. God will soon be on their matter. We wanted to go so you can have nigeria with your hausa sweetheart,you fought us like crazy. By force we are made one nigeria and still we are not nigeria.

Must we all go in the same direction? No doubt about your statement but the truth is you can make a difference rather than joining the bandwagon.

That is my point.

Can anyone take what they have been dishing to ndigbo its necessary they know what they would get anytime they try to dump thrash on themselves. We don't take thrash from anyone whether it was by error or trial.

That wasn't his question. He asked did your ppl bothered to read her article before ranting off on how she insulted yoruba despite the fact her entire article barely made any comment on yoruba but rather focused on the oba. The same way your people ranted off on how Achebe insulted yoruba on his last book when he fact he rarely spoke of yoruba and the so called "insult" was a historical fact about Awolowo. Something he, awo, never denied he didn't do.

So swerve left with your people typical hypocrisy

your furious anger should be directed towards Indonesia who is alarmingly reducing Biafra population and not Prof. Wole Soyinka.
