The management of Cable Newspaper Ltd, publishers of TheCable, would like to make the following statement concerning our report on the lecture by Professor Wole Soyinka at the Harvard University Hutchins Centre for African & African American Research.

Soyinka was quoted to have made derogatory remarks about the Igbo over their voting pattern in the March 28 presidential election. He has since denied the offensive quotes attributed to him.

After a thorough in-house investigation, we have come to the conclusion that the story misrepresented the views expressed by Soyinka in the question-and-answer session after his lecture.

We take full responsibility for the inaccuracy and promise that we will continue to strive to improve our standards.

Also, we wish to reiterate that we take our professional responsibilities very seriously, as our readers can attest to.

We hereby offer an unreserved apology to Soyinka, Ndigbo and our readers.

Signed: Management of Cable Newspaper Ltd

Here was the reaction of a supposedly Igbo lady to an insult which she aided to propagate against her own people

NgeneUkwuenu

I think we deserved the insults, or else can one explain the fact, that we have allowed few greedy, insatiable money grabbers to hoodwink us into not making intelligent decisions as regards protecting our collective interests as a tribe!

Imagine people like T A Orji, Martin Elechi, Orji Uzo Kalu, Ifeanyi Ubah, Arthur Eze Iwuanyanwu et al claiming to be our leaders in the auspicious time of our existence as a nation! Tufiakwaa!!

Once again we deserved it!

CB you can Never Be wrong!

Well, I wasn't surprised; Even Jesus and Judas were from the same village

NgeneUkwenu the agent of devil and divison jump into a lagoon where ever you are

Ngenekwensu said his family members deserved the insult.

Moróns

I guess a lot of people are that

All these mushroom online media outlets.SMH.At least they were humble enough to tender an apology.Ndibanyi please lets move on.

I pray the Sage doesn't let this slide. Sue their dumbasses to a point they go bankrupt.

NgeneUkwenu i see you proceed to the nearest lagoon and do the needful the world will be better without you

A lot of people are.
If "you" think I'm referring to "you", then "you" are damn right.

The damage has been done

Better! Though inadvertently, my people must have learned one or two things from the "alleged remarks"! I hope by 2019, we would make a better decision!


Hypocrisy is when you celebrate and Clap for Femi Aribasala, when he comes out with his Opinion on Current National issues and attack and vilify Miss Ngene, when she makes her own fearless opinion known!

Say No Hate/Tribalism!

I have noticed that some people have a deeply entrenched envy and bitterness towards igbos for no just cause.
Rather than come out to show their hatred and bias,most of them in their ever cowardly manner will rather want to use a public figure to spread their satanic agenda. Thank God this particular public figure has denied them.
Meanwhile,since Nairaland and its moderators deemed it fit to bring to the frontpage several of those threads attributed to Soyinka against igbos,which inturn led to some tribal bashings and tirade,I expect them to do the honourable thing of putting this refuttal on the FP too.

Seun Osewa,please take note

I think the same mouth you lot use in castigating, abusing and cursing Soyinka should also be used to pray for him

Where are the clowns who were cocksure Soyinka said all that rubbish?

Where are those ready to swear Soyinka was lying when he disowned that trash?

If I describe you how the prof described you now, you'll report me to ICC abi?

As for the cable and their reporters, shame on you all

Ode oshi. Na on top your jealousy you go kpai. Soyinka achieved what no igboman, not even your Achebe, could achieve. And in spite of the cable's retraction and apology you still talking shyt. Well F*uckck you and go and die.

Yo! Why some machavellian Yoruba nig gas like to stir sh*t up in the media with Igbos as goons?

Both tribes need to have aggressive sex n get over their latent hard-ons for each other.

And if Buhari makes move to stop dis kind of misleading information by doing shake up of the media sector they will say decree 404 is back.I just wonder if the cable journalists present there were sleeping or couldn't comprehend wot prof was sayin dat now lead into dis kind of scandalious misinformation.they ougth to be charged to court cos wot they did really lead to the blasting of prof from so many pple.Media pple are so annoying most times

Anyways, Soyinka just called you a slowpoke
