Renowned professor and educationist, Prof Akindele Adetoye has apologized
for calling music star-turned-activist, 2face Idibia an illiterate over his
planed nationwide
protest.
Mr. Idibia had few days ago announced to lead other Nigerians on a
national protest against the ongoing hardship in the nation caused by the
economic recession.
Irked by Idibia’s
announcement,
Prof Adetoye
took to his social
media pages
where he
slammed the singer for organizing anti-Buhari protest even when he could
not control his third leg.
He wrote, “You are a bloody illiterate. You had sex with all manners of
girls without using condoms. You impregnated them and made babies all
over the place.
You now want to lead protest against the government
because of lack of governance! Have you governed your own personal life?
Charity, they say begins at home. Nonsense!”
His statement did not go down well with many Nigerians, especially the
fans of the singer who came hard on Adetoye, describing him as an
‘educated illiterate.’
The professor, Tuesday night pulled down the post and apologized to
2face and the Nigerian community for branding the singer ‘illiterate.’
He wrote, “Good
day brethren, I
put up an
update yesterday
that incurred the
wrath of some of
my friends and
the population at
large for what
some considered
its harshness to
another member
of the Nigerian
community.
“In hindsight I believe I was indeed harsh. I believe I am wrong to have
come at him in the manner in which I did. He’s in love with our nation
like I am and like the rest of us. It was in finding a lasting remedy to
our national malaise that I believe my passion took the best of me, and
it was in that regard that I erred.
“I apologize for that and I apologize to those whom my update affected in
any manner. I was wrong and I am sorry. Thank you and God bless y
