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
