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
