The Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka just made a statement denying reports that he blasted 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 such statement and anyone who believes he did is a
moron. Wow. 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
