I thought Wole Soyinka is a student of history? What did he base his stupid Igbo statements on? What research did he do?

The same shameless "influencers" that were mute when Patience insulted Northern families/children are angry about Wole Soyinka's comment.

So Wole Soyinka, it's only book you've written in life that now qualifies you to call Igbos greedy and a belle faced race.

Just when we were talking about empirical evidences, Prof Wole Soyinka just showed us an empirical evidence of stupidity & senility.
