Can any person tell us why we should not regret having this class of people as Nigerians? Damn to many yeye and nonentities around us. Ok slowpoke. Oya quickly, issue warrant of arrest so that we go believe you. He is just denying it because of high degree of blames and the kind of descriptions that followed this thread. All those woman wrapper yoruba indio.ts. I know him he talks before thinking like Obasanjo. It is just in their blood.

Soyinka was quoted to have said 'the Igbos voted based on their stomach and suffer from incurable money mindedness'.

This is the kind of comment you expect from small-brained Nairalanders that populate this section not a nobel laureate. The cable authors must be nairalanders.

You are a glittering disappointment to the world. Was it not your folks that were validating the utterances credited to him?

No matter the twists and turns to any event, you always find a way to blame the igbos.

You need an introspection. Gaskiya!

You are just one silly slowpoke without sense. Soyinka was imprisoned because of the support he gave to your fathers and grandfather's during the civil war. How on earth will he make such a statement about your people without considering his age and international standing? Shame on all you slowpoke who continue to hate on him despite the sacrifice he made for your people's struggle.

someone like that shdnt be using strong/insulting words on people

Didn't you read that there is a video or a transcript of the lecture he delivered? Before you belief or disbelief the statement attributed to him, shouldn't u endeavour to read the speech and verify for yourself? Nawa o, you must be a "slowpoke" just as he said

He said it was recorded. Anyone who wishes to verify what he is reported to have by watching the video.

Why would he make comments about Ndigbo to a mixed crowd? Why would an American audience care?

What of that Dr. Somebody who made genocidal statement on his FB and denied....... well I guess denial runs in some people's blood. Cos until a video was shown, "The Crying General" was denying he ever cried in front of the "Dark Goggled General".

Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has denied describing Igbo as people who vote based on their stomach.

Some online media had quoted Soyinka as saying Igbo were politically naive while delivering a lecture titled ‘Predicting Nigeria, Electoral Ironies’ at Harvard University Hutchins Centre for African and African American Research in the United States.

He was quoted as saying “Igbo remained unrepentant and resolute towards their strategic objective of secession at worst; or a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction at best.”

However, Soyinka said in a statement on Thursday that it was unfortunate that people could tell lies against him.

The playwright described those peddling the rumour as morons who have ulterior motives.

He said his entire lecture delivered at Harvard University was recorded on video and anyone who was interested could access it on the Internet.

He said: "I have just read a statement attributed to me on something called The Cable, a news outlet, evidently one of the Internet infestations. My lecture at the Hutchins Centre, Harvard University, was video recorded. Anyone who believes what I am alleged to have said must be a slowpoke – repeat, a slowpoke. It is demeaning, sickening and boring to have to deal with these cowards who cannot fight their own battles but must fasten their imbecilic pronouncements on others. Only the mentally retarded will credit this comment attributed to me regarding the Ndigbo voting pattern in the last elections. I strongly suspect the author of this despicable concoction, and may make a further statement, once the source is verified.” the statement read
