Ahmed Yerima Is A Notorious Serial Paedophile And Cross-border Sex Trafficker. - Wole Soyinka

Wole Soyinka is extremely angry just like the rest of us over the new sex bill the Senate just passed. They set age of consent to 12 and the bill was sponsored by Sen. Ahmed Yerima. Really who wants their 12 year old daughter to be sexually active. Yerima's argument was that it will be discriminatory to the Muslims if the age is set beyond 12. However Wole Soyinka in his letter of apology for his absence to an event to celebrate democracy day and the remembrance of Late MKO Abiola, he addressed the issue. I have lighted the bit he spoke about Sen. Yerima.

Dear Friends and Comrades,
Regretfully, I am unable to be with you tomorrow morning. However, I extend a warm embrace to you in your resolve to keep within Nigeria’s short memory the events that have been central to the attainment of our democracy – warts and all – enjoyed today by you and me. June 12 remains the true Democracy Day despite the unprincipled efforts of some prime beneficiaries of that struggle to expunge it from a people’s chronicle.

The Cable Newspaper Apologises To Wole Soyinka For Their False Story About Him Attacking Igbos.

The cable newspaper few days ago reported that Wole Soyinka made some derogatory statements about the Igbo people during a question and answer time after delivery lecture at the talk titled '‘Predicting Nigeria, Electoral Ironies’ at the Harvard University Hutchins Centre for African & African American Research, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Wole Soyinka himself refuted the report saying 'Only a moron will believe such crap'

I personally didn't carry the story when The Cable broke it because I wasn't sure about the story. I couldn't find a video of it or any video-graphic traces of the lecture. However I found a convincing statement by someone at the talk, so I concluded the report might be hearsay, so I passed on it. I was right afterall. The Cable just apologised to Wole Soyinka.

The Cable's Apology

"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 theMarch 28 presidential election. He has since denied the offensive quotes attributed to him.
