Cable Newspapers Apologizes To Professor Wole Soyinka Over "Igbo Hate Speech"

The news outfit which reported a hate speech by Professor Wole Soyinka has apologized to the nobel laureate over the scandal.

Soyinka had already previous denounced the report, regarding the source, The Cable, as an “internet infestation.”

In their formal apology, the organization wrote:

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 an 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

MEDICINE AFTER DEATH, U WILL KNOW THAT IGBOS'S ARE THE ISREALITES. TOUCH NOT GOD'S OWN. OR FACE WRATH

 

Liars, he said so and you are just covering him up

This is just crisis-management. The deed has already been done.

@activated you have spoken so its "WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT VIEWS HERE MY DEAR.

THE QUESTION IS DID HE QUOTE OR UNQUOTE. IF HE QUOTED U DON'T NEED TO TRANSLATE IT BCOS WE CAN READ AND WRITE ENGLISH.

AND FROM YOUR REPORT THE PURPOTED STATEMENT WAS PUT IN QUOTE. THAT MEANS THAT WAS HIS STATEMENT AND IT'S A REAL SHAME THAT THE SO CALLED NATIONALIST WOULD BE EMBROILED IN PARTISAN COMMENTS LIKE THAT.

SHAME ON HIM!!!!!!!  not only shame i want this man to write down suicide note for he is totally responsible for the death of all cultist activities which he has not been able to correct that has turned into a menace in our society today.

YOUR APOLOGIZING FOR WHAT WOLE SOYINKA SAID IS JUST LIKE WHEN YOU GO TO A MAN'S HOUSE AND ASKED THE SON TO GO AND CALL THE FATHER. HE LATER COMES BACK AND SAID   "MY DAD SAID I SHOULD TELL YOU THAT HE IS NOT AROUND".  SO, WE DON HEAR.

Nigerians pretend to like and love themselves, but this is far from being true. Until we do away with tribalism, Nepotism and imbibe the spirit of Patriotism. Our nation will live again

Some elders shld mind wat they say especially wen they too are not pure.
