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.

Yorubas scream just as much as the other tribes. Stop desecrating your moniker, at least.

All of a sudden... Other tribes excluding the igbos r nw perfect!... I salute u guys!!! Tell me...if it was the other way round, wouldn't the yorubas bash the man! 99% of yorubas here agreed with that trend meaning they believed he said it... See its a national problem... U guys should stop making seem like a tribal problem... Grow up guys!!!

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

yu dey mumu o.
Is the one achebe rejected?
Yu dey boast of it now..

Chinua Achebe is a great writer so also is wole soyinka but achebe makes his name and his writing skills go internationally recognised..

Chai there was a country o.if your hate statement continua...

Dem de craz before dem edit that topic; Rrrrrrrrrrrubish!

NewNigeriaMind:



I didn't even bother to read the girls article.

I have little respect for people who only care about her tribe and not all nigerians


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?

If you are a good book reader, you shld knw that the writings of that Toad is far below painting of Amanda or Achebe.

So if I tell you obasanjo said igbo people are drug peddlers online. Without any confirmation you will begin to abuse obasanjo.


Wow.

That my friend is how a slowpoke behaves.

Hey Stop!!! Many yorubas supported soyinka thinking he made the comment. What do have to say about that?

Every day it's about hatred about igbos, wishes someday we ll leave this country where we are so much hated

Hey Stop!!! Many yorubas supported soyinka thinking he made the comment just the same way the igbos deed. What do have to say about that?

olu4life:
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

Good advice. Many would take note of it and probably forget it when they read a similar post.

...exactly my point!!! The yorubas would have done the same thing if it were the other way round

There is no need taking anything back sparked off by sheer ineptitude, mischief and tribalistic leanings of your people at the Cable,if anything at all the Cable owes an apology to both parties slighted on the issue...not only Soyinka.We understand your pain..Tbh,most igbos don't care,we got to throw poo at Soyinka and his yeye people.Nice sport.
Tis only a tree that refuses to run when it hears an axe coming for its bark-call it sensisitivity,extreme sentimentality and overreaction,if you like-...especially if that axe bearer is on a world of mischief and egged on by onlookers from the same tribe. Soyinka just got a taste of what it means to be at the end of an igbo barrage,no small reason why he had to come out in strong denial and the yoruba cable in belated and one-sided apology.....Yorubas are filled with cowardice and a heavy dose of slave mentality.

GET WELL SOON

A well deserved hatred.

so what do we do to those yorubas that actually agreed with the comment when he didn't even say it?? Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks......the same thing happened with that doc in the us....and these same people concurred with the speech and he later denied it......we are not united....just different ethnic nationalities in a geographical expression.....I get angry when I see all these ethnic bias against my tribe which in most cases are unfounded and unnecessary.....I don't want to believe that these people are people born in the late 90s......

I don't take igbo people very serious, they're too sensitive and hyper reactive biko...I only take dem very serious when its money related ish, thing don't joke with money

exactly what I have been talking about....are you a child of hate for you to know one? Don't type fasÞer than your brain.....

tupacshakur:
Hoesisi (babyosisi) and Peppyluv02...

Where are these worthless, hollow bitches when you really need them?

Swines who think winning the Nobel prize is like paying to get the "Ofo" title.

Sluts who fail to acknowledge the fact that Prof. Wole Soyinka contributed to the scuttled-actualization of Biafra more than any of their ancestors, dead or living.

May Ogun, the Yoruba god of War, Iron and metallic ore, inflict the both of you with boils around your smelly, putrid Vagina...

Awon Oloshi!

I respect all those that kept calm and waited for clarifications.

May knowledge and wisdom never elude them.

jayfolarin:
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!!

what about the slow poke yorubas that actually agreed wiÞh the speech even if was false?

Ishilove:
Retards, imbeciles, morons!!!

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 still believe he is capable of saying such nonsense, and in front of 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

As for The 'Babble', Kongi should treat their fuckup with genteel savagery. Junk journalists without any respect for professional ethics. I wonder how they could publish such a story without verification. Shame

Ban me if you like but I think your attitude sucks just like your ugly face.

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

baboon! Check well your brothers and father are among them.

Oduduwaboy:
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!!!!

what about the ethnic yoruba jingoists that agreed with the false report....

I am no Ibo but nobody will hear someone said something like that about his tribe and keep quiet.
Especially given the recent infamous hate speech from the Oba and the rapist/doctor in the US.

aresa:
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..

Only you have said the truth. And this traits will be used against them very soon. It's as if it is a deliberate ploy by some group of people to sew discord between yoruba and igbo which I am very sure will reach its boiling point one day. Have u noticed it's becoming a trend. Every week someone says something about them and somehow it becomes viral. Then they come out wiv mob mentality and attack. It's like one week, one trouble. All this is making the north very happy. They never want peace between yoruba and igbo cus the day this two groups stand wiv one voice that is d end of northern domination. Let's wait to see where this will lead. All I no is that the hate between yoruba and igbo has become very very pronounced. It's like a superiority contest.

If our legal system are performing, seriously,our media would ve been the best.

Just imagine me as highly placed as soyinka to have allegedly made such a Derogatory and malicious statement.
And thus published by a media house,

To God who made HEAVEN nd EARTH + HELLFIRE, I will make them so pay that even when I am dead they will still be paying.


Media and information is that tool which drives any economy forward. so all those media house has to be kept on their toes to avoid misleading us.



Certain statements made by a high profile personality could breed hatred and thus war.

Let us all mind our professionalism,


Bunch of lazy journalists, always copy copy,they wont go and look for real facts. even the economy they can't protect
U don't publish everything u see,knowing fully of the after effect(employ some diplomacy so that the government will improve). The American media cannot just openly tell u that they have been bankrupt for years now, because they knew the after effect.

I doubt the story when I read it,that's why I never commented on the topic,at all.

The fear of the gr8 IGBOS is the beginning of wisdom. When u hear that gr8 name ( IGBOS) u know what gonna run in ur head Ndi ana ekwu maka fa, nwelu ife fa n'eme （⌒▽⌒） Igbo ndi nwe mmadu, amu na ekene ooooo (●__●)

Yours is a special case of incorrigibility. You have gone beyond redemption and rehabilitation. A poster quoted you and said "GET WELL SOON". He understood your predicament except that you can no longer get well. You are an incurable nut case.
