Popular entrepreneur, Jason Njoku has come out to apologise to Igbo people for a comment he made in the past. This is coming after they rallied around to save his app from being taken down on the Google Play Store.
According to him, the gesture has definitely renewed his faith in Nigeria because he is certain that the support wasn’t just about @irokotv, but more broadly about self-determination.
Jason added that he is deeply sorry for his glib, immature and unnecessarily hurtful comments years back, and he’ll keep embracing the fact that he is Igbo.
His words, “The last few days has renewed my faith in Nigeria. I know the support wasn’t just about @irokotv but more broadly about self determination, press freedoms & a collective yearning for (Nigeria) to be a great secure & happy nation. North/South I truly believe we all want that #KeepitOn.”
“Separately I want to take the opportunity to apologize to Ndi Igbo for my glib, immature and unnecessarily hurtful comments a few years back. I am Igbo, I don’t think I would ever nor ever attempted to deny that (all my kids bear solidly Igbo names which I personally chose).”
“Nonetheless I 100% let you all down and hope with time I can make amends and be forgiven. It was stupid and I am truly sorry. Whatever I write (and tweet) reflects on our entire culture and I dropped the ball on this one. Sorry.”
“Thanking everyone everywhere for the last few days. I won’t forget it.”
WOW.
