Kunle Afolayan has deleted the careless and misguided tweets he yesterday shared, accusing Igbo people of being behind piracy and asking the wrath of God to strike them, further heating the already tensed atmosphere after the tribalistic speech made by Lagos monarch, Oba Akiolu went viral.
He tenders his apologies but his fans who are deeply angered and disappointed are having none of it, they instead fired back at him.
His colleagues in the industry; Charles Novia, Uche Jombo and Alibaba also weighed in on the matter.
Here are the tweets....
I guess he chose the wrong timing and wrong words to express his pain but he has apologised.God has forgiven him,so who are you to continue throwing stones?.
I also urge the Oba of Lagos and his PR team to apologise for the viral comment he made...A brave man never misses an Opportunity to heal the pain he caused.
All these people with Diarhea mouth should realise that the times are too sensitive right now and Nigeria is going through a transition that is sensitive to all tribes.
Please let peace reign...Nigeria will not break up no matter how much any evil doer tries!.
Him and the oba should be locked up for 48hours,nonsense
ReplyDeleteI use to love Kunle.
DeleteWas so happy when he won awards at the AMVCA. See me dancing and clapping for him.
But from henceforth, he is an enemy.
Any one who hates on the Igbo's as a tribe is an enemy.
I regret ever celebrating him!
I wish him all the evil he wishes the blessed Ndi Igbo.
*spitsonhisfatface*
Same here. I was also very happy for him especially when he got d best film of the year cos he did not expect it. But dont you think HATE is too strong a word?
DeleteIn expressing your feelings dont stoop low (or is it stoop down) to his level.
Peace!
Am surprised @ your words Genny.
DeleteReally? You spit on him?
Wao!
Politics hurts , stupidity is annoying
ReplyDeleteReasonable comment. Nice one
DeleteWhat's wrong with all dis ofe mnanu people??
ReplyDeleteY are they so jealous/ threatened by the igbo's
They should go and lick oil jare
Stupid man.
Now you ain't sounding any different from them.
DeleteWhy tag them ofe manu?
I know am also being tribalistic, just that is so annoying the way they attack igbo's freely.
DeleteAs if they were released from there cage.
Thank You Bloglord... They are tryna act like they are not tribalitic and unconsciously exposing their tribalitic ways.
DeleteKunle you have spoken the mind of your ofe manu brothers and sisters. so just stop with your apologies.
ReplyDeleteyou have forgotten you have to show your film in the cinemas. you have also forgotten that most people who will watch it are igbos and other tribes because your people like awoof too much. you don lose market
U too.
DeleteLol.. See them exposing themselves... #potcallingkettleblack
DeleteMedicine after death.
ReplyDeleteHis turn on the hot seat.
ReplyDeleteSaying sorry doesn't automatically make evrytn ok. Sorry cannot fix a broken plate. People shud be careful.
ReplyDeleteSome idiotic comments from Kunle..Infact never experidit from him..The Oba wants to drown us,and now Kunle wants the wrath of God to struck us..
ReplyDeleteHe should have made his points clear without castigating solely on the igbos,more like the Stupid Oba prompted this all.#Godwin
Na God go punish them one by one,Ndi ara
Medicine after death. I see Ali baba is d male version of lola okoye. Defender of d universe! Mtsheeeew
ReplyDelete@ eka joy u know be am, you are calling alibaba (Voltron) very funny no be small.
DeleteNa wah ohhh...
ReplyDeleteAnd I really like Kunle and his movies...
Well,they have bashed him well already...lemme save mine...
All these hating on Igbo people is getting out of hand...
I have Yoruba friends and Inlaws and they dont behave this way so I won't generalize this hatred ...
Thank you Linda! Truth is we are individuals. If you have any issue with anyone, take it out on them personally, not their entire tribe.
DeleteThe Oba and kunle didn't even try at all. But that's their own thought, not the thought of every Yoruba. We all have different opinions please.
Yes Nigeria will not break up and as for those people wishing war upon ds great nation,it shall not come to pass ijn.
ReplyDeleteToo late to Apologise, oh yes we will forgive but won't forget in a hurry. Igbo dis igbo dat wetin, all in one day. Give us Biafra unu juru aju yet unu aghaghi ekwe anyi newuru mmiri togbo iko. God will fight those who fight us AMEN.
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late to apologise.
DeleteI can see fame has gotten to his head! Everyone is talking about d Igbos and he wants to talk too. Some idiots will soon come say he did d right thing. Did piracy start yesterday? It was now yesterday he chose to air his own views. Everyone fighting d igbos but God pass una
ReplyDeleteI don't no y every tribe in Nigeria blame Igbos n accuse dem for dia misfortunes n yet de refuse to grant us Biafra. Its obvious dt God is wt d Igbos n he keeps blessing us, so it's either u join us or get burnt. Bc not even all d Obas or Kunles put together can stop who God has blessed. Am proudly igbo n wouldn't trade it for anytin in d world. God bless d Igbos more.
ReplyDeleteAmen to your prayer, Stella. Nigeria won't break up in Jesus' Name, amen.
ReplyDeleteAll these ofemanu people.....they don't know how to talk
ReplyDelete@Galore
And u sabi talk ba? See yourself? Is Ofemanu not a tribalitic and offensive word? Lol.. See them exposing themselves... #potcallingkettleblack
DeleteOut of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A spoken word is like water poured on the sand which can not be taken back bcos it has been absorbed by the soil. Kunle well done o!
ReplyDeleteThis guy has apologized lets forgive him. The Oba must also apologize, i won't be surprised if the Oba doesn't apologize because he looks like an irresponsible and wicked man. God just used that to expose him.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmmmmm.The Bible says, Weigh your Words.
ReplyDeleteBut didn't someone ever advise that fool not to mess with the igbos? Now his business may never be the same. The piracy may even increase!
ReplyDeleteBecause you are God?
DeleteLol! Abeg, help me ask am
DeleteHe shd not even apologise, because words already said cannot be taken back
ReplyDelete#ThinkBeforeYouTalk#
Stella abeg sit down
ReplyDeleteU guys should forgive and let go... Igbo kwenu!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm
ReplyDeleteI hate it when Nigerians are neck deep in tribalism.
ReplyDeleteIt just shows disunity.
Anyway apology accepted
But iit is better to reason before spewing
Medicne after death
God bless you!
DeleteBL u won't understand how irritated I am. All the posts from yesterday has been a turn off and i just close it after reading the first few comments. It's so annoying. Will not engage in this rubbish back and forth. Am out jare
DeleteI still dunno why yorubas talk carelessly.
ReplyDeleteGod bless Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteWe get bad mouth shaaaa..
ReplyDeletea.k.a EDWIN CHINEDU AZUBUKO said...

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
Lol.
DeleteYes we will not breakup. I think this year (2015) should be a named 'the year of revelation'.
ReplyDeleteIt is even better all these come to the fore, so we know where and how to heal.
I agree with you absolutely
DeleteMedicine after death... Words are like eggs, once broken you can't unbreakable it, no matter how much you apologize you can't make up for the hurt you caused people that love you and your art.
ReplyDeleteKunle pls next Time choose your words wisely..
Haha hahaha hahaha na real yeyebrity kunlapian i hail oooo Oct 1st i regret voting for you mtchewww abeg go chop gala for brt lane if u are frustrated
ReplyDeleteHe shuld go and sit down with his osama bin ladin beard. Anuofia nwuranwu
ReplyDeleteMedicine after death. He ain't seen nothing yet. Odika onye ji obere ihe gafee escapeee. Oke na ngwere na ewetere ndi igbo onu. Kitikpa rachapu kwa ya onu ebe ahu, ezi!
ReplyDeleteThis country will not divide IJN
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahha lol @yeyebrity... Naija with bad mouth...... Who am I to judge? If benin people can say snake is better dan d esan people and get away with it so nothing new.... U can insult him if you've not talk bad of any tribe.
ReplyDeleteKunle afolanya u don shit for church take bible clean yansh for dis ur tweet. Trust Nigerians, they can use their loyalty to make and mar ur career. Next time u chew well before u swallow to avoid choking. Meanwhile; we r human and atimes say things without considering d consequence or outcome.
ReplyDeleteTypical of them. I unfollowed the yeye actor last night after reading his tweets,thought he is a role model.Can't deal too bad.
ReplyDeleteI love everything you wrote Stella, everything. I agree with you. This is a very crucial time, time to tread carefully. I'm Yoruba but I love the igbos like kilode. The language, the people, I have more Igbo friends too. Let's all stop with this tribalistic talk. We are bigger than this. It's well
ReplyDeleteAn Oba does not apologise for any wrong. It's a sign of weakness from him. Don't expect any.
ReplyDeleteKunle just happened to bore out his frustrations the same day one of his Oba brought to limelight, the extent of his bigotry and tribalism, and yet, Kunle claims this is coincidental? I very much doubt.
Nigeria can never be one. It's an illusion.
I'll never pay for any movies from Kunle again.
D oba should not bother apologising cos we are coming out en masse 2 vote 4 pdp. .we need change in lagos and Apc must go
ReplyDeleteU need change in d east...go back home and effect change....how dare you dictate in another tribes state, u guys are really pushing ur luck...the igbos are soo tribalistic and unwelcoming in their own states...don't know how to talk at all... nonsense
DeleteKunle that can't act to save his life is saying trash, who are the people that watch home videos!? It's the igbos and now u bash them....my dear u are as worse as the Oba....apology not accepted! U don't bite the fingers that feed u.
ReplyDeleteThat is why its always good to weigh ones words before talking or twitting. He's trying to take back his words but the damage has been done. I still like him though.
ReplyDelete#Onelove, OneNigeria.
Exactly!
DeleteAfter talking carelessly
Medicine after death.
This bloody kunle tribalistic afolayan I saw staggering out of crescendo g.r.a ikeja drunk,held by bouncers,shameless family man
ReplyDelete.disgraceful pig!..akpa nshi,tueh!
Don't I just love you Stella, you are a good person!
ReplyDeleteThank u o aunty stella, we should all lay this to rest especially at this crucial time
ReplyDeletehttp://beadglitz.blogspot.com/2015/03/tutorial-african-helix.html?m=1
This man has just showed who he really is.
ReplyDeleteNsogbu adiro.
Shit happens at-times
ReplyDeleteChai Ndi Igbo have suffered see this yeyebrity with his dry Figurine movie calling the wrath of God on us.. forgetting that Igbos set the trend for Nollywood of today.. Whatever anyone wishes Ndi Igbo will be visited upon his household a thousand folds.. Kunle can take his apology and shove it up his behind!
ReplyDeleteStella, we won go o!!! Them no want yet they curse us at any given opportunity!!!
ReplyDeleteStill on Lagos Elections, some of our Igbo friends and brothers are complaining of Marginalization, isn't it? It is high time we begin to put the records straight and clear all the misinformation going around. In my opinion, Lagos State has been magnanimous and accomodating enough which I don't think anyone should be crying wolf where there's none. Putting the records straight: (1). The Chief Executive Officer of LASTMA Transportation in person of Mr Young Arabamen hails from Esan Central LGA, Efo State. (2) Lagos State Commissioner for Economic Planning & Budget, Mr Ben Akabueze has served in this capacity since January, 2007 having first been appointed by Governor Tinubu and later re-appointed for Two terms by Governor Fashola. (3) The former Publicity Secretary for ACN and currently Publicity Secretary of APC, Mr Joe Igbokwe is obviously not a Yoruba man either. It may interest you to also know that Lagos State has been accommodating to such an extent of allowing Mr Joe Igbokwe double as the General Manager, Lagos State Infrastructures Maintenance & Regulatory Agency (LASIMRA). (4). Sometimes in 2013, when a lady Uzoma Okere was brutalized by a Yoruba Naval Officer, it was Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola who stood up, prosecuted the matter till the lady was compensated. My dear People, Lagos State has moved beyond ethnic divides and I don't think we should allow the shallow minded elements trying to use this as a tool for getting votes succeed in their evil bids. For continuous co-existence in Lagos
ReplyDeleteIf I talk now my fellow lovely BVs will trash my ass so I go mechonu.
ReplyDeletestella on ds matter you try oo, soothing words to heal wounds. if others can be same. kunles words have been turned and various versions, haba, said most pirates r ibos, his opinion, dat is not a crime nd he said people ll come and judge him on social media after all his hard work, and said thunder will strike, he djdnt say thunder ll strike all ibos, y are people just not seeing. nywys it is well.
ReplyDeleteStella apologizing does not change how he feels and think. Apology now is overrated in Nigeria. People spew rubbish next thing na apology, the damage has been done and the scars left will be a constant reminder.
ReplyDeleteThank you ooooo lovelace, apology my ass smhhhhhh!!!
DeleteUche jombo is right piracy is not about tribe its a general problem for all producers I guess now pple like Kunle who produced a movie with govt fund will finally realize that nollywood problem is not funding but seeking for the right piracy laws so producers can make money back
ReplyDeleteNo matter how many times he apologizes the deed has been done. At his age he should know better than this.
ReplyDeleteApology accepted
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteDear Lagosian,
Yoruba,s are very decent and reasonable people. No tribe will entertain on their land what is going on in Lagos.
We all condemn the statement of OBA AKIOLU. But let ask ourselves one important question, WHY IS OBA AKIOLU ANGRY WITH IGBOS?
My answers are:
1. I WILL ELEVATE EZE NDIGBO TO THE STATUS OF OBA OF LAGOS - JIMI AGBAJE.
2. IGBO WILL DETERMINE WHO RULES LAGOS- IFEANYI UBAH
3. LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND.- IFEANYI UBAH DURING TAN CAMPAIGN.
4. IGBO DEVELOPED AND CONTROL LAGOS- JIMI AGBAJE DURING GEJ CAMPAIGN IN AKWA IBOM
5. WE MUST PRODUCE THE NEXT DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF LAGOS- EZE NDIGBO
MY QUESTIONS TO IGBOS,
1. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED?
2. CAN EMIR OF KANO ACCEPT ....?
3. DO YOU HAVE ANY SINGLE TRIBE IN YOUR CABINET IN THE EAST?
4. CAN ANY TRIBE CLAIM ONITHSA OR ABA TO BE NO MAN,S LAND?
5. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT THE ELEVATION OF SARKIN HAUSA IN ONITHSA TO OBI STATUS?
My conclusion: We have been living together as brothers for years in peace. You must respect our tradition and institutions.Ifeanyi Ubah should stop jumping around Lagos beating drums of war.
GOD BLESS YORUBA AND IGBO
God bless u
DeleteBe jumping on blogs
DeleteO Lord, pls let Saturday come and go pls.
ReplyDeleteI can easily forgive kunle than that yeye agbaya oba.....lol@ yeyebrity
