Professor Wole Soyinka has released a statement denying reports that he trashed the Igbos during his lecture at Harvard University last week. Soyinka was quoted to have said 'the Igbos voted based on their stomach and suffer from incurable money mindedness'. The Nobel Laureate says he never made a statement like that and anyone who believes he did is a moron. Lol. His statement below...
"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 moron – repeat, a moron. 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

Nigeria should try and move beyond tribal divide.

Of course, he won't have said it. I also said so in the last fake news and linked the real story from Harvard website..
Some people are out to make Nigerians hate each.other by setting us. Apart.
Live long Wole
Lagos belongs to the west? Hmm, do u think lagos will be what it is without the Igbo's think well.
Im a very proud Igbo woman and when I read ur earlier post about this, for the first time I had my doubts about the authenticity of the story. Not Wole Soyinka whom I love with a passion and whom I have tried to read every of his article. I had wanted to write a comment, but funny enough I started then stopped. I said to myself to just take it easy something is wrong somewhere, NOT WOLE SOYINKA. I showed the earlier post to my colleague in the office - a Yoruba man and he immediately jumped up gloating and confirming that Prof Soyinka is right. I smiled and said within me 'NOT MY PROF WOLE SOYINKA'. Im happy I never wrote what I had wanted to write. Pls lets all quit hating. As I read in Dec 2014 / Jan 2015 edition of the Reader's Digest, an article by Zak Ebrahim 'Not my Father's son' he says - I'm so tired of hating people. Everyone has a choice. even if you are trained to hate, you can choose tolerance. You can choose empathy'.
Can you say that to his face?? Someone old enough to be your grandfather?? You really have no training whatsoever!
Na the yeruba wey not vote based on their stomch abi? It has alws been like dt in dis country everybody wants their tribe 2 win...so fuck off
Wole is the most incredible moron of all time
U must really be a cow
U must really be a cow
Lol..to anyone who blvs he did is a moron..Wole Soyinka is a man of integrity.

You are very stupid! Even those from neighbouring states busy claiming Lagos! Westside ko, Westside no...Dumb ass tribal bigot!!!
Why don't u provide us with empirical evidence dat he did?
Linda he's talking to you, you are a moron for peddling lies about him.
Soyinka doesn't like money but he clinged to Amaechi who impregnated his daughter, paid his medical bills abroad for cancer treatment, bought him a house in Lagos. He accepted yet he doesn't like money. DIRTY OLD TRIBALISTIC LIER PROFESSOR
Igbo lead others follow
Sexy queen
Ode.... a beggar like you.. remember linda is Igbo, so u don't deserve to be here..onye ohie
Wole just stfu pls. Really?? Who raised you
U guyz r just dumb for thinking Wole will say a thing like dat...y'all r indeed predictable...stupid set of morons (igbos) smh
Jobless soul
You're just an idiot. Go ahead and watch the video and you'll realise he didn't say such. Not even close. Idiots likes you inject ethnic nepotism and favouritism and cause more trouble. You really do not have to talk. It is not compulsory. You don't always have to have an opinion. May God forgive you and give you some sense. Waste of space, waste of life. Bugger!
Lol what does apc have to do with this? Sense ooo. Sense
Lol nana smooth. Don't worry, your opinion would be stuck back up your a$$
Whoever accused him of saying it is a fool if he cannot provide evidence aka exhibit. Awon ode! Bombastic fools! Why was he not recorded but Baba if evidence is later produced then it is bad o!
Mumu...you guys are already dying in Indonesian prison/firing squad. check it out, eight more chukwudis arraigned to be killed for your incurable money mindedness. Linda no go gree carry that news.
Igbos r obviously dumb skulls...I just hate y'all
Nawah! This man has a loud mouth sha. Ofcourse d Oba has started d trend of insulting d ibo's and denying it. Shameless old men.
@Porshit!Are u ok????? I can imagine how u talk to u popsi @ home !
Hian! Who come dey lie??? Linda take note!
Hian! Who come dey lie??? Linda take note!
I knew there was going to b counter statement wit his big grammar's.
The problem with Yoruba born is that they talk weigh too much, FFK. Now even the grandpapas are showing the true nature of dia genes. thanks to awolowo I wonder what would have become of these misfits
Igbos here and there. Smh!
check yourselves as a tribe and heal yourselves of your 'un'doubtable incurable money mindedness. Eight more of igbo to be executed in Indonesia. I'm sure Linda will not share that news, she's more concerned with attacking people who tell the bitter truth. Go save the chukwudis rotting in indonesian prisons.
Then you obviously don't know him.
He doesn't need to put up any defense.seriously from who?you and I that hide behind our anonymous posts?lol
Wole should stfu, I laff at you. Your father could me a palm wine tapper there o n here u are asking a graced proff to stfu.
Linda, please always verify the authenticity of your stories especially sensitive ones....we don't need more ethnic division
Lagos belongs to the Eguns and Ajase. Ijebu ppl just chance them. When the Egun are ready, everybody will answer his father name. You think you can marginalise them in the fatherland. The Igbo no get issue them all get house to run to . But all you Iluoke who look down Egun will soon knw. Eko a mo ra wa
issokay
U said it all...1000 likes..😎
Linda you are guilty as charged. you dont publish something you havnt verified. cos you influence people wrongly.
They should be mindfull of what their say
lol, this man sha
@anon 10.37am - It is sad that you have a narrow minded view. Have you heard of China Achebe of 'Things Fall Apart' fame? He is an Ibo author who is also known globally. My daughter's grade 10 class in North America is currently studying 'Things Fall Apart '. Acknowledge greatness when you see it, regardless of ethnic sentiments.
I will urge the Igbo's 2 be watching this people on 6D. They cnt do without us at all. It shows the kind of people they are. They will say this in one minute about the Igbo's, and the next minutes they deny it. SMH it shows they are not man Enough, Besides why are they beefing the Igbo's? Are we the problem of this country or the Yorubas that will say this and deny in the next minutes. That is why we will always come out better than you people. Since you people want to start discriminating, we are ready too. Awon Omo Olofofo Daleru daleru
The word is Dementia. You should also get yourself checked up for same disease.
I AM IBO THOUGH BORN AND BROUGHT UP IN THE WEST BUT I AM SURE SOYINKA DIDN'T MAKE THE STATEMENT. HAVING SAID THAT, SOME ARE SAYING HE SAID IT AND NOW DENYING. FOR SOMEONE TO DENY WHATEVER HE HAD SAID IS A FEATURE OF COWARDICE AND THAT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM AS THE NEW/MODIFIED STATEMENT SHOULD BE ADOPTED.
They will always deny what they've said...
Another illiterate! You can't construct a simple sentence.
Hey anonymous Moron, av u heard of Chinua Achebe? what do u knw abt the east n west side story??? The great development that came to the west was brought by the easterners.. I bet u Moron will argue that... The increased house rents and shop rents were increased becos of the Easterners here in d west, if there was a 100% standard shipping port in the East u won't see the Easterners in the west, in other words the development in Surulere, Festac, Amuwo-Odofin, VGC, Lekki, V.I, Ikoyi wud not av come and Lagos will not be different from Porto-Novo if you know where I am talking about, one thing you should know is that the Easterners dominate and develop anywhere they live n work this is a blessing God bestowed on the Jewish people, if u look at Isreal today they are the only Christian nation in the midst of the Arabs nations(I will make a table before you in the presence of your enemies) this a verse from the Famous Psalm23 which God has on his people the Isrealites mind you the Igbos have traits with the Isrealites, you can find out about that if you doubt, in Nigeria today the source of the country wealth is right there in the East, 80% of the oil wells today in that same east are owned by the Northerners, this can't happen in the North, Just an advice God's hands are on the Igbos no matter how rough the govt can be we will always survive, This old man is just tribalistic from my point of view period.
Beta 4 him
I respect u sir. Unfortunately Nigeria is full of tribalistic,uncivilized illiterates and morons. Even with all your insults &bitterness against this Man of Honour, some of you will never be able to accomplish 3% of what Prof. Soyinka has achieved.
I am waiting for the video.
Does anyone understand what this person is trying to say?
It's nt d ibos fault for flaring up. Can any of you yorubas honestly say that if an ibo personalty should say such that you guys wnt explode. It was on evri major news outlet ystrday, nd instead of blaming d pple wo carried d false new, some idiots here n blaming ibos for defending their heritage...forgetting it was your stupid oba that started the trend,if d oba and film producer could do it, y wnt wole soyinka do it? Abeg give it a rest!
Leave linda alone...I double checked ystrday out of shock, once you type wole soyinka...d news was evriwher. Nd Bonario n co were just defending their tribe....absolutely nothing wrong with that...cos any tribe would do the same. U cnt blame ibos for being prickly seeing the amount of hate dats being recently directed at them.
Abegi... dint d oba retract his statement too? Lol...una never see anything! 2 very respected yoruba men have made tribalistic statements, y nt a third 1?
No relatnship btw linda being ibo n his statement. Quit with the tribalism. Dnt ibos comment on yoruba blogs?
@ Anonymous there's a joke making the rounds in Nigeria involving the phrase "empirical evidence"
He must read LIB. LOL. Big word around here.
U realize that he isn't aligned to APC or the PDP
Anonymous 12:01, even if the old man is tribalistic what do u think your whole statement is? It's TRIBALISTIC. Look inwards all of you. Your misplaced ethnocentric rant is insulting and inexcusable. I've spent my time responding cos U seem articulate and it scares me that you can see when U're slighted but don't realize when you do the same to others. Anyways cheers
You clearly lack home training, I'm sure your parents will be disappointed by your lack of manners.
LoL. As in the guy no gree
Why do Igbo girls have thick calfs? because they are always chasing money....LMAOOO.I can't get enough of that joke
That's not the point. Go find the footage and put it up. If he said it lets know. But to believe blindly shows U're prejudiced yourself. I can't cry abt being victimized and then victimize others. And yes I'm Igbo. The truth is the truth.
Hold on, you should understand this better "Kim Kardashian"... Is that slow enough for you?
Hahaha. Oga Anon 11:56. I'm loving that yawa. Lukmon an serious mumu
Truth is if U don't vote for socioeconomic reasons in this country then U're probably an idiot. People are hungry
I agree. But they won't. They'll cling to the hope that he said it or that he's still tribalistic. Victims who victimize
okay... When i saw that comment, i was certain it was fake... Thank God it was fake o, cos i too much respect sir Soyinka
We are tribalistic fools but what's your statement is not tribalistic right? And I've never read tribalistic statements by Achebe? Or random Igbo people. Relax man, unlike you I have good friends that are Igbo, Benin, Hausa etc. From your statement, I doubt u can say the same. Anyhoo good luck to U.
Nobody should blame him since they have the video they should play it to use so he can be clean of the air...
Well said. But I doubt it's in our DNA. It's like black ppl are bred to hate each other. It's scary how much hate is simmering on the surface in Nigeria
Free Linda. She reported what she saw. It's not the first time she's reported rubbish. Abeg it's a blog and not CNN. Pele o Linda. Ma da awon morons yii loun.
Smh. Well, God is watching
I don't get how he's tribalistic from what U said??
I said it. Prof is a great NIgerian. For those illiterate imbeciles who go around saying that igbos love money, go and get an education. You are all a disgrace to the younger generation. We are in 2015 not 1966. We can forgive the older generation for their politics and propaganda but not the younger generation. Meanwhile
Linda, kedu Kwanu?
Mischief makers full ground in Naija
Lol...buh even if he said it nko?
Hahaha. What are U saying? Come back when U're ready to Make sense
Lol you're pained. You'll be fine. Cunt
This a blog tho. It's not really her job to verify anything. It would be nice if she did esp with stories like this. Way to divisive.
LoL. Anna U can carry your tribalistic ass and take several seats
Hope U can swim, lagoon dey wait U. LoL. Tribalist
It's not even that serious. Let's just go on the Harvard website and watch his talk
Go watch the video. Ignorant Nigerian. Damn.
BTW who are the "they" U're referring to?
Linda he just called u a retard. You reported that he said so without verifying.
Ewu yoruba, see the level of your thinking
you see!!! Talking in general is just wrong, you can pick a few igbo and blast them for whatever but not just pack the whole Igbo lot and make an unguarded statement, I believe he did not
Whether he said it or not dis man doesn't briddle his tongue. Did anyone ever hear Mandela use d word moron? Can't Wole soyinka act the part of a noble laurette? Even his uttercations in d past don't depict that of a laurette. Am glad he didn't make d initial statement.
If u did not say so then we forgive u. If u did... Hmm na tail of lion u don touch so
Jane Ike winner of LIB 2015 100k
I know the Professor thinks he is smarter than everyone else, but that is a big lie.
Indeed d video will speaks it all......OLODO
Lol. That is their trade mark. Lily livered set of human beings. They are quick to utter rubbish and then turn around to deny it.
Better o, the respect I have for you even reduced yesterday cos I dont expect that from you
You are actually the dumb skull. Hope the hate doesn't kill you.
You know your name? Moron,yes moron...
And the yorubas are saints right? Go and find out how many of your brothers and sisters are rottening in US prisons for different crimes. Yet u put up a holier than thou attitude.
Ode,he said u can go check the video of the lectures,u ar part of the morons he is talkin about
he wont make such a statement. ws is far too refined for that
i didnt buy it either and am ibo.
I am a proud Igbo man and happy to be that. Ndi Igbo have no apologies to make for our nature whatever our detractors might term it to be because that is what has guaranteed our survival and excellence in a hostile environment called Nigeria. Here dullards and loafers idle about waiting for manna to fall from heaven for them but ndi-igbo struggle and strive to press water out of stone only to be castigated by jealous nincompoops. No tribe in Nigeria can survive the vicissitudes inflicted on ndi-igbo by diabolically wicked fellow Nigerians. But we did and are now ready to excel. Nobody can stop the sun from rising
Very ignorant.Israelis are predominantly Jewish by religion.same lack of knowledge that made you not know the history of Lagos as commercial predating colonial times. It could be easier to use trade resources develop ports in the east to confirm if indeed Lagos would collapse. Check Yoruba history. Oyo empire is a little example.
I tire for all these IGBE (shit) people.
THIS IS A TREATISE BY SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI AN UPDATED RESPONSE TO SOYINKA'S DIATRIBE
Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots from Yorubas ----Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country---Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
When Buhari jailed UPN governors like Ige and Onabanjo, the South-Western press castigated that good government and provided the right mood for IBB to take over power. As soon as IBB cleared UPN governors of charges against them in a politically motivated retrial, he became the darling of the South-West. When IBB annulled the primaries in which Adamu Ciroma and Shehu Yar Adua emerged as presidential candidates in the NRC and SDP, he was hailed by the South-West. When the same man annulled the June 12, 1993 elections in which Abiola was the front-runner, the South-West now became defenders of democracy.
When it seemed Sani Abacha was sympathetic to Abiola, the South-West supported his take-over. He was in fact invited by a prominent NADECO member to take over in a published letter shortly before the event. Even though Abiola had won the elections in the North, the North was blamed for its annulment. When Abdulsalam Abubakar started his transition, the Yoruba political leadership through NADECO presented a memorandum on a Government of National Unity that showed complete disrespect for the intelligence and liberties of other Nigerians.
Subsequently, they formed a tribal party which failed to meet minimum requirements for registration, but was registered all the same to avoid the violence that was bound to follow non-registration, given the area-boy mentality of South-West politicians. Having rejected an Obasanjo candidacy and challenged the election as a fraud in court, we now find a leading member of the AD in the government, a daughter of an Afenifere leader as Minister of State, and Awolowo´s daughter as Ambassador, all appointed by a man who won the election through fraud.
Meanwhile, nothing has been negotiated for the children of Abiola, the focus of Yoruba political activity. In return for these favours, the AD solidly voted for Evan Enwerem as Senate President. This is a man who participated in the two-million- man March for Abacha´s self-succession. He also is reputed to have hosted a meeting of governors during IBB´s transition, demanding that June 12 elections should never be de-annulled and threatening that the East would go to war if this was done. When Ibrahim Salisu Buhari was accused of swearing to a false affidavit, the Yoruba political elite correctly took up the gauntlet for his resignation.
When an AD governor, Bola Tinubu, swears to a false affidavit that he attended an Ivy League University which he did not attend, we hear excuses.
CONT'd
CONTINUATION;
For so many years, the Yoruba have inundated this country with stories of being marginalised and of a civil service dominated by northerners through quota system. The Federal Character Commission has recently released a report which shows that the South-West accounts for 27.8% of civil servants in the range GL08 to GL14 and a full 29.5% of GL 15 and above. One zone out of six zones controls a full 30% of the civil service leaving the other five zones to share the remaining 70%. We find the same story in the economy, in academia, in parastatals.
Yet in spite of being so dominant, the Yoruba complained and complained of marginalization. Of recent, in recognition of the trauma which hit the South-West after June 12, the rest of the country forced everyone out of the race to ensure that a South-Westerner emerged, often against the best advice of political activists.
Instead of leading a path of reconciliation and strong appreciation, the Yoruba have embarked on short-sighted triumphalism, threatening other "nationalities" that they ( who after all lost the election) will protect Obasanjo ( who was forced on them). No less a person than Bola Ige has made such utterances.
To further show that they were in charge, they led a cult into the Hausa area of Sagamu, murdered a Hausa woman and nothing happened. In the violence that followed, they killed several Hausa residents, with Yoruba leaders like Segun Osoba, reminding Nigerians of the need to respect the culture of their host communities. This would have continued were it not for the people of Kano who showed that they could also create their own Oro who would only be appeased through the shedding of innocent Yoruba blood.
I say all this, to support Balarabe Musa´s statement, that the greatest problem to nation-building in Nigeria are the Yoruba Bourgeoisie. I say this also to underscore my point that until they change this attitude, no conference can solve the problems of Nigeria. We cannot move forward if the leadership of one of the largest ethnic groups continues to operate, not like statesmen, but like common area boys.

Liar old fool
See as she carry saliva for mouth sef. Enugu girl.
The old man wole soyinka who needs to see a psychiatric Doctor for brain fag is the moron.
The way Igbo people are holding on to their vex even when the man said he did not say it....I am very sure and Igbo man is behind this mischief. You hateful people are always looking for a reason to hate Yorubas and unluckily for you, on this occassion you are wrong, yet MORONS like you are still holding on to your vex asking for evidence and calling him a coward. No my dear morons, it was your Ojukwu that was a coward, Soyinka went to jail for the biafran cause while Ojukwu went to England. IDIOTS!!!
yee the igbos are morons he is right
Nawa o...........All dem igbo pple taking dis personal. Shey una don hear?
And u Igbos don't need to insult Yoruba's, If you av issues with Wole Soyinka.........See HIM
What sense hv u made bro?
Victor Onah is a bigger moron
All for attention right?
Check out Alibaba's exclusive interview.
www.naijacarlovers.blogspot.com is the place.
Salau abi mumu abi mumu u are a fool, u think u can insult the igbos and get away free?
I had a reason to begin to view Prof Wole Soyinka differently during the period of campaign for the just run general elections in Nigeria. Certain clear publications credited to him went viral on the social media. He allowed the publications to wet the desires of readers for weeks before he turned around to refute the items. I think he has developed a new way to cause trouble with his statements & go on to deny them, knowing Nigerians have many gullible audience.
I still don't know why any other tribe reads this blog. It's very glaring that linda is tribaliatic. Knowing full well that such matters as this can cause havoc and commotion in a country that still hopes for unity, you should have been a 100 percent sure he said it. Even if other news outlets are carrying it, it's stupidity to just follow suit. I saw the same statement by soyinka on channels today and they didn't mention anything he said concerning igbos and that's cos he actually didn't say it. Your blog has now turned to a battle field for different tribes. Keep up the good work, Nigeria will definitely be United
Another Yoruba talkative after Obasanjo, FFK, Fayose and co. Talk and deny.
Another Yoruba talkative after Obasanjo, FFK, Fayose and co. Talk and deny.
Can Yoruba men keep their mouths shut for a second without talking,talking and talking? Can they see how real men behave? Igbo men are the real deal, they talk less and do more.
Yoruba people talk too much I guess that's why they're not physically strong.
He's really lucky. It'd have ruined him totally. Yorubas had better start considering thinking before making lousy remarks about the igbo people at large; it's demeaning and beginning to be a recurrence as such.
~D great anonymous!
The only strength the Yoruba man has is in his mouth, I guess that's why Igbos take on them physically anytime any day." Hey comrades(Yorubas)let's keep on barking and not bite,lest they think we're totally dead"
From Wole Soyinka's satire.
Linda, let me look for this comment.

Dirty ofe mmanu no clean bum bum ibadan a**es
You're very right. Jealousy is the root of hatred
Oliver Twist.
Mr man without Lagos Igbos will be broke.
Igbos didn't develop VGC, Festac, Amumo odofun or even Lekki , Victoria Island ? Really Ikoyi Igbos developed it ? Loool stop being delusional. Go and study the history of Lagos maybe you will know why it's developed.
Lagos was already a developing town before you came it's like Ogun state currently growing fast by yoruba indigenes and business men it's the 6th richest state not that some Igbos will go there down the line and start claiming they developed it .
Without the Lagos purchasing power your businesses will collapse.
Also the richest people (non yorubas) are the Niger delta people who have invested in airports and seaports and classy hotels, Ibrus , Ben Murray Bruce, Arumemis and they don't make noise.
Igbos play an important role yes but to now attempt to take all the credit is delusional.
As for Chinue Achebe he's an expert in twisting history to satisfy his bias (blaming Awolowo for the civil war, but forgetting to say Ojukwu wanted to take over Lagos and Oyo) very one sided author.
Lagos is mini Nigeria with all ethnic groups contributing massively to its development.
And there's a reason why Igbos come to west it's called OPPORTUNITIES created by western leadership. And that's why SW is the richest region In the country with Lagos making up only 28% of the region.
As for the shipping ports blame your earlier forefathers for settling down During independence when all ports were working, easterners trooped the west so stop all the ports story, the West simply as it all.
Igbos have traits with Isreal I won't even comment on this if it makes you happy about your heritage congrats
But that we ibos developed Lagos is the joke of the century.
The need to "dominate" is what causes hostility to Igbos wherever they are and you seem to forget your minority hence any attempt to do so backfires.
Go and learn to be like the rich Niger deltans, people who make their money and respect people but once you want to take advantage that's when you get backlash.
And as for port novo your bashing and cotonu those two cities are individually richer than all SE States
I won't bother responding you with a why we yorubas are great etc etc
Why do yuroba say "av" instead of "have" ? Fucking illiterate
Yoruba men are the biggest DICK SUCKERS I've ever seen
IGBOs own LAGOS and there's nothing a Yoruba man can do about it. Without us you are nobody.
Anonymous 9:36, from your statements you actually do not know what you are saying. I was delusional in my earlier post, it's just the truth and you know the truth hurts.... Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu was the first and founding President of The Nigerian Stock Exchange as well as President of The African Continental Bank. He was also chairman or board to many profitable companies today in Nigeria, do your research and find out about these companies and you will be so amazed.
Arthur Eze(Ezenukpor) is richer than the Ibru's, The Bruce Family and the Arumemi's. Is Arthur Eze from the West? Do you even have an idea of who I am talking about? I just want to educate you alittle as you do not know anything about the Igbos, I agree we are minority but remember it is dis same minority that fought Nigeria from 1967-70 with no military training and ammunition yet we survived the war that ended without any side winning, now about development I will make you the judge can you count the number of houses owned by Igbos in the areas of Lagos I earlier mentioned?
About the seaport: cost of shipping to the East is 4-5times more than the cost of shipping to Lagos any reasonable business man would relocate to the Lagos and keep his business going, The Igbo's can never go broke we are industrialists.

You ibos are totally mad. What is wrong with you? Becos we yorubas always choose the path of civility you uncultured and ill-mannered twats talk rubbish like someone is scared of you????? Ok..here is my honest and non-retractable statement: "The ibos are a set of displaced, disenfranchised, disillusioned and disrespectful tribe in Nigeria who's insecurities stem from the fact that the entire race was built on a platform of servitude to others i.e your fathers and mothers were domestic helps to yorubas...a superior and elite race. The yorubas are what and who you aspire to be..but will NEVER be...and it will serve you properly to know your your position in the helm of things and accept it. Failure to do so is why your lousy disrespectful asses were almost wiped out during the biafran war (I can see why now..dont let it pain you too much) just like the proverbial bastard who tries to manipulate legitimacy into his/her pedigree. When you accept that you are a bastard..no one can hurt you. And you are all bastards..so accept it. Since you imbeciles only possess the mannerisms of stray dogs and chickens (probably due to a genetically predisposed inclination towards the consumption of human meat) let me assure you factually that no one is scared of you or anything you think you might be able to do cos when the it comes down to real business..you will eat your words." so there...suck on it and choke you fucking mannerless beasts of no nation.
Don't mind the ibo fool
Then why are you here? It's a blog walk away
Why are we like this? The matter is simple. Does everything have to degenerate into racial slurs?
1. Soyinka was quoted to have made a sensitive, tribalistic comment.
2. He comes out to deny it.
3. There is video evidence and, oh, I bet some of the posters did not bother to watch the video.. Only for them to conclude Yorubas say things and deny it.
Oba Akiolu is not the entire Yoruba land just like not one person is the entire Igbo land.
*the page stinks of bigotry. I am a proud Nigerian and a believer in God's creation. I'm Yoruba but I'm very proud to say three very good friends of mine that will call me before any other person when they are in a corner are from the SE. I have Hausa friends too.. I'm thankful I see the light beyond tribe and have benefited from wonderful people regardless of their tribes.
It is no wonder TK says, Human beings are divided into two tribes: good and bad..
Why are we like this?
Nice one. Clap for yourself. Oya clap again for your children who will bear igbo surnames soon enough. Thank u for allowing the devil manipulate ur childish brain so that ur mouth can spew the rubbish it did.
