Professor Wole Soyinka has torched debate in Nigeria after
he was ordered out of a seat onboard a flight by a young man over the weekend.
Media mogul Mo Abudu is one of those who leapt to the nobel
laureate’s defence. But opinions were divided on the matter.
She has now said, 'good morning beautiful people. Its 6.30
am here in Los Angeles. Quite a bit has been said about me making certain
comments about the young man that refused to give up his seat for Professor
Wole Soyinka'.
'I will not comment
further on this, however as you all know I LOVE and RESPECT Professor Wole
Soyinka dearly. Based on this incident, I did receive an email from Professor
Wole Soyinka this morning'.
Hallo Mo,
Someone sent me Patrick Tonye's comment on the plane
incident, and I saw your brief comment. It was a very minor thing and I'd
forgotten all about it. However, after reading the boy's response, I became
curious.
First, I never
exchanged a word with him throughout beyond inviting him to take his allotted
seat. Never spoke a word to him after that. Certainly never exchanged contact.
So of course, I wonder if it's the very individual who's posted this or a total fake.
The phenomenon of
stolen identities takes very strange dimensions and has become a source of
worry. I wonder if this is one such. Any way of your finding out. I don't
operate in the social media as you probably recall.
