I insist the doctor should be sanctioned. who is he lying to. only simpletons will swallow the bull crap he's writing.

Ozigbondu:
l signed it the first day i saw the link.People should take responsibilty for their words and action not hiding behind hack or misinterpertation

Didn't oba akiolu deny his words till a youtube clip surfaced?
Na today
I hope he knows Facebook can recover deleted posts when asked through the proper quarters
Courts can subpoena that if it gets to that

I know my Yrouba brother will never say such. God bless u Doc.

Sunnybobo3:
The hate filled doctor is obviously trying to save face. It would have been better if he admitted it and apologised accordingly.

Doctor Ariyo, how about the attached screen shots from your Facebook, was your Facebook also manipulated to post these comments?

Is he also denying those which are obvious precursors to his murder calls?
Oba akiolu made death threats and he supported him
That is enough evidence right there
Please post the screen shots regarding the killings he advocated

It's almost Friday. Make una let me know the result of the case

While his brothers back in Nigeria who have no clue about how the system functions here are busy defending his hedious comments, the said Dr is feeling the heat as his career is being threatened, he is desperate right now and would say anything to save face.

If he loses his position or job to his reckless and nefarious comments, be rest assured he is done working in the U.S as this shameful record would inevitably hug him forever, his name would forever be associated with Hate.

Hijacked account?
The information was cleared immediately the backlash began? How did he regain his account immediately?
How come he did not post about the hacking?
Was he the only person on Oba's side?
He must have been very special to be singled out

It is his word against his accusers

Anybody who does not believe should call in Facebook. They will tell if his account was hacked or not.

lol

babyosisi:
He is being clever by half
He said all those words
Some articles picked the very infuriating words and out then together like they were said in one post but the screen shots of his FB appear real to all
They are no fabrications
If he is denying them what he is apologizing for on his same denial
His inability to condemn akiolu already makes it clear he said everything we are reading he said
He is capable of saying them and more
Let him face the music he started

I hope people keep calling the hospital he has privileges and bombarding the boards so they carry out an investigation.
After this he will be careful when next he opens his mouth to call for death or support those who do

As if you are any better.
You're more of a chestbeater than him.

When ever you get an eediot on the defensive
It's always a good thing

CHESTBEATING CONTINUES!

why have any previous threads about this man been deleted by Nairaland? can somebody please clarify?

How hard is it to create a facebook profile and write such bile to cause confusion?

na waoh...and some people were trying to bring this man down..who God has blessed, no man can curse.

His best man at his wedding was even ibo...

[size=18pt]Many intellectually retar-ded fools started spreading the baseless rumours.[/size]

I already signed an online petition against this guy! And I sincerely believe he is already beginning to feel the heat, no be America! Next time, people will think before they touch their keyboards to comment on social media. A word is enough... Wallahi, the only reason most Nairalanders have not been indicted for hate/ inciting campaigns or speeches is because of the near anonymous profile nature of the forum! Check most guys that spew rubbish on this forum, they never have profile pictures! Just see how a good career and lifestyle is in dire danger of being flushed down the drain. God help you sir!

Sunnybobo3:
My attention has been drawn to the news circulating in the social media attributed to me captioned “ U.S. based Nigerian Calls for the Killings of the Igbos”. This story is categorically FALSE. It was generated by computer fabricators, manipulated and bandaged to create havoc.  Our investigations indicate that this horrible story was cooked, seasoned and delivered to get back at me for my sympathy for the Oba of Lagos during the recently concluded, highly contested Lagos State gubernatorial election. At the peak of the debate, there were heated exchanges and at the heat of the moment, statements were made from both sides that could be misconstrued. The subsequent distortion by these sophisticated fabricators is causing significant injustice to us all. To all the people affected by the original debate or subsequent computer distortions, I hereby apologize. No matter what, these stories are offensive and highly regrettable.

 I condemn these computer fabricators in their entirety. I further condemn any killings or any acts of violence anywhere, be it South Africa or Lagos. Humanity will judge these people harshly.  I work every day to save people’s lives from heart attacks. I am writing this letter with only 3 hours of sleep in the past 48 hours due to the nature of my work and the barrage of death threats on me and my family.  I am Yoruba, but I have worked closely with Igbos all my life without any problem.  It came as a shock to me and my Igbo colleagues, that I was being labeled as an Igbo hater.  Indeed, I appreciate the confidence and support that I have received from my friends and well wishers that know me from around the world.  I thank you for the support and your continued prayers in face of this unwarranted and relentless attack created by this false story.  My only true statement regarding the Oba of Lagos was taken out of context on completely unrelated issue and bandaged together to create this horrendous story.   To prove that I am no Igbo hater, but in fact, I am my brother’s keeper, I will take you through an improbable journey of a young Nigerian boy from a small town to the world’s pinnacle of academic medicine. I will highlight the practical examples of my close relationships with some of my Igbo colleagues all along the way. 

 At the Univeristy of Ibadan, the first Nigerian University, I received the best medical education that could be obtained under the sun.  My teachers were Yoruba, Igbos, Hausa, and Fulani. During our training, we were tribal free.  I am currently working with an old U.I colleague, who is a U.S. based Cardiologist, and an Igbo, Dr. Obi Emerole as we put together the First Lagos Cardiovascular Symposium this summer in Ikeja, Lagos. 

At Howard University Hospital, where I trained as a medical resident and chief resident, my Igbo friends were Dr. John Agwunobi and Dr. Ahagtotu.  Dr. Agwunobi later became the secretary of health to Governor Jeb Bush in Florida, and, Dr. Ahaghotu is now the head of Urology and Associate Dean at the Institution.  We were all interns, bound together as Nigerians, without tribal affiliations.  We ate together, were on call together, and partied together on Saturday nights whenever we had time. 

 In 1995, I was a research fellow at Harvard Medical School’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, where I was simultaneously enrolled for Master degree at the Harvard School of Public Health.  I reached out to all the Nigerians in the Boston area institutions and we had regular meetings as “one Nigeria.”  It was that year in Boston that I actually met Professor Wole Soyinka and the late Professor Chinua Achebe.

At the Johns Hopkins Hospital, regarded as the number one hospital in the United States, I was an Interventional Cardiology fellow.  My immediate senior colleague, Dr. Camellus Ezeagwu was Igbo.  I went to his house quite often for some “Fufu and goat meat” that his beautiful wife regularly prepared for us.

The best man at my wedding was an Igbo man.  Our families enjoy time together and vacation together.  I have served in various capacities under the umbrella of the Association of the Nigerian Physicians in The Americas (ANPA). I was humbled to be the keynote speaker at the recent end of the year event. I have also served in our communities and churches encouraging our youth to pursue a carrier in medicine.  I have served as head, chairman, director, and secretary in various capacities in different Nigerian organizations that included Yorubas and Igbos for the past 30 years, and not once has anyone said that I hate one group or the other. I currently serve as mentor for lots of young Nigerian doctors. I help them get into residency and fellowship around the country (Yorubas and Igbos alike). As we speak, I have several Yorubas and Igbos students rotating under my service at the hospital.

Nigeria is my country and I am proud of her. She gave me a lot and I intend to continue to give back. I will not let some people create a wedge between me and this country that I love. I believe my only sin was the support that I gave to the Oba of Lagos. As a son of a monarch myself, I have utmost respect for our native rulers. Thus, the position that I took during the debate leading to the highly spirited Lagos State gubernatorial election might have offended some people. For me, this is a lot of price to pay when I am not even a politician. It also shows how far people will go for payback. But, please, this is not a game for me. I have my plate full in USA. I would rather use this time to save lives and improve the health of people, or increase the chances of other Nigerian kids getting to where I am today rather than responding to false stories designed to get back at me for my different political position.  At the time that I am writing this missive, I have received over 500 telephone calls that are mostly death threats. Please let us calm down and work together for peace.

I hope my story clears some ambiguities regarding this unfortunate computer manipulated and generated story.  Although, it hurts a lot, I will forgive them (the fabricators). We want every Nigerian to live in peace and harmony. We seek a more tolerant Nigeria, a vibrant Nigeria where there is freedom and liberty, where no one is inferior or superior to the other. We need to band together and start building our nation towards prosperity and a brighter future as we move forward to a more perfect Nigeria.  God bless Nigeria.  God bless us all.

But the original facebook post was written by u.An every reasonable person highlights the word 'slaughter' there in.

Lalasticlala ishilove, Seun, why move this thread to the front page when the original post detailing his hate comments was deleted from the site?

I need an answer please.

The guy's computer was hacked, he has set the records straight

Everybody move on

What actually baffles me about Yorubas is the envy towards igbos.because they actually doing very well if not better.

Oh yes!
Make sure he's license is withdrawn.
Make his life miserable.
Even his family and generations to come would pay
Then lay on your bed at night and smile to your self in satisfaction of what you have done.
And when that tiny feeling of he might actually be innocent or is it really worth it stirs within you, kill it immediately by telling yourself 'they hate us'

The likes of Doyin Okupe and Tompolo are 'patriotic citizens of Nigeria' who always stand by their words no matter how absurd, ridiculous or annoying it sounds and no one should compete with them.
