I love you bruh, i would have french kissed you now if you where a gurl, i said it even in my post yesterday that i didnt believe that nonsense. The Noble Laureate is way too classy and dignified to engage in Ethnic profiling. iTs the classless, gutter mods on this garbage website who feed off the tribal hate between Igbo and Yorubas who would hurriedly post that nonsense here. This website should be sued for not properly investigating whatever they post on here. they think a disclaimer helps them? Most of the mods are a bunch of f00ls and uneducated m0r0ns!!!! they sit in their ranch type ghetto styled smelly houses posting nonsense on the front page without a care in the world!!!! But alas change has come mark my words this cannot continue in Nigeria, you think you can just post any story and be absolved of any form of legal prosecution? Eventually you guys will GO TOO FAR ONEDAY, AND OSEWA WILL ARRESTED, then your eyes will be clear!!! whether you like it or not PEOPLE MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!! a society WITHOUT LAWS LEADS TO CHAOS!!! nairaland cannot continue posting whatever it likes all for the sake of garri money gotten via ads!!!!! Seun Osewa cannot try this in a developed country , the legal team of Wole Soyinka would have sued him and the Cable for besmirching his name!!!! Osewa is a virus who is benefiting from the present lawless state of the country or he wouldn't be encouraging this nonsense with his illiterate stup1d mods!!!! BEST YOU WOULD DO IS BAN MY FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH AND WHO GIVES A HOOT?!!!! BUNCH OF UNEDUCATED BABOONS CALLED MODS!!!! Small wonder why linda ikeji came out after yet blew this gutter website away, let me tell you m0r0ns called mods a secret, do you know why no serious brand will advertise here? because this gutter, garbage, useless, nonsensical website, has not even one classy moderator!!!!! No serious brand would ever want to be associated with Seun Osewa and this rubbish website!!!!!! Off course there will be the occasional lets risk it and try, but trust me the real paid ads would go to bella naija and lindaikejiis not this rubbish website!!!!!! 4 Likes 1 Share |

Reading the comments on here makes me sad. Seun and his moderator are working so hard either intentionally or unintentionally to make Nairaland a tribal forum. It is now no longer a forum for Nigerians as one but a forum where Nigerians fight against each other. It is shameful really. To make it worst, Seun is not to be questioned unless you want to be suspended like I am going to be suspended now. |

babyosisi: Cc: Sinizia Reference Babyosisi Soyinka has sacrificed for the Igbo more than any non-Igbo I know. He deserves some respect from us. He attacked the pre-war Gowon government for looking the other way while Igbos died. He called out the Yoruba elite and media for keeping silent while Igbos were being slaughtered in the '66 pogrom. He called them names. He said they were opportunists. Read The Man Died. It was a very contrarian and unpopular thing to do then. He defended the Igbo cause in the days leading to the civil war and made visits to the east. It was an unpopular thing to do then. But Soyinka couldn't care less. He was jailed for years because of this... He almost paid with his life. Many years after, Soyinka has remained consistent in defending the downtrodden and in fighting oppression. He has activism in his DNA. He couldn't have said that. He just couldn't. It's not in his character. He deserves a special place in every Igbo man's heart. He deserves our respect. He deserves our gratitude. |

When I came across the first thread yesterday, I skipped it...I mean I didn't even bother to click on it. I simply told myself that if soyinka could stoop so low to play in the mud despite his reputation then even a "kid" like me shouldn't go down there with him. Alas, this was supposed to reassure me that yesterday's news was simply the work of some lazy blogger, but then I had to revisit that thread and the "other" tribes, where just as predictable, even more predictable than the igbos, at least for the first 5-6 comments I read, which begs the question, what's all the fuss about the igbos being predictable bla bla. As far tribalism is concerned in Nigeria, or should I say tribal e-wars on nairaland, every Nigerian tribe is rigid and predictable, the outcome remains the same. |

NL and mods..two threads makes front page now 1. The tortoise 'flaunts' something in a new picture 2. Anything that can cause e-fight between igbo and yoruba Anything in those areas will surely make front page. I think some force are behind spliting southern nigeria. They know how ignorant and gullible we are. I believe special op is on NL to achive that aim. That's y you see hate thread of 2010 making front page in 2015. I don't blame anyone with tribal hatred coz its a general weakness of nigerians,( our tribe is always the best, we are the only one marginalized, the hated one etc) I only blame mods who won't stop pushing trash to front page, educative thread don't make front page no more. To those sponsoring hate thread be it foreign or local secret service, God is watching To those who jump from one thread whenever they see anything yoruba or igbo on NL, be wise. Not everyone in SS and SE is pro PDP and not everyone in SW is pro APC. Stop tribalizing everything To the mods who enjoyed ppushing thrash to fp whenever they mention your name, no amount of money or traffic is worth causing chaos you can't finish 1 Like |

sinizia: if I were you I would wait to confirm that he actually made those statements before playing the victim. I find it difficult to believe Wole would would commit such a blunder. and I hope, for his sake and the sake of those who care, that he didn't make those statements. If those words are his, then he has just fallen........ deep! But it's better to confirm that he indeed made those statements. 1 Like 1 Share |

GEJ gave money to every tribe. He gave to the hausa's the igbo's and the yoruba's, however, the hausa's collected his money and ate it, that was why Muazu PDP chairman, Bala, FCT minister and Isa yuguda Bauchi state governor all couldn't win bauchi state for GEJ.. Same also with Yoruba people, he gave money to the Oba's and Militia factions of OPC, SW collected his money and still didn't vote for him, if I were oppourtuned to collected jonathans money, I would have collected his money and still not vote for him, however, ibos sell their concience for money its a well know and established fact, Goodluck gave ibo's money and ibo's couldn't see beyound the money like yoruba's and hausa's saw, the igbo's were just to blind to see beyound the money, they were too blind to see for "Love of Country" beyond GEJ's money like the yoruba's and hausa's saw. Professor Wole Soyinka is very correct with his postulations and hence reasons why SE voted GEJ. Its not far fetched. 1 Like |

Ishilove:who is the mod that now moved that hate speech to FP. Ishilove since you ve got the ears of Seun, kindly tell him to put a check on this tribal topics that always pit the yorubas and the igbos against one another. I've got a yoruba fiancee and we do visit NL so tell me why there will not be fear from either one of us. Remember the heart is cunning |

I just wanna believe he didn't make the previous statement as purported by Nairaland. It's a thing of great shame when Nairaland looses it's credibility on an issue as fragile and inciting as this. I won't believe revered professor Soyinka granted the previous interview, but I believe there's a propaganda going on on Nairaland. It's no more news that tribal threads generate traffic for Seun, hence he and his dog-mods must do everything even beyond their might to always fit Igbos in the bad news, raise our hackles and invite his paid tribal warlords to keep Igbos and Yorubas at loggerheads. We should be very careful, Nairaland isn't just Nairaland . |

The transcript 'quoted' in the blogs did not even sound like Soyinka. He was talking to a mixed audience in America, many of whom would be more interested in asking about Nigerian affairs that make global news - such as the elections, Boko Haram and the GDP growth. For all the talk on nairaland about Igbos, they are not Nigeria's problem. Everyday we've been hearing about Boko Haram attacks in northern Nigeria. If it's not that then it's Fulani cattle herders in the middle belt slaughtering farmers. Those are far more pressing concerns than the Igbophobia that some Nigerians appear to labor under. Very few people outside of Nigeria care about how Igbos are viewed by other linguistic groups - why would they? They cannot tell any of you apart. Many of you act much the same, especially the habit of invoking 'god' at every opportunity and lusting after money. 1 Like 1 Share |

Lordave: I don't mean to be funny but what 'credibility' does this place have? Everyday it's 'graphic pictures' of some horrendous accident on the front page or someone trying to pit the rest of the world against Igbos. As if Igbos are the ones killing other Nigerians, kidnapping girls and using them as sexual slaves. Igbos are not the enemies of Nigeria, learn to see what is right in front of you. 1 Like 1 Share |

The kind of hatred that some south east people have showed to Wole Soyinka is a lesson for all Nigerians. No matter the sacrifice you make for some of this people, they will still pay you back with hatred and insult. I hope people will learn from kongi's experience. |
