Mr. Ochereome Nnanna, Chairman Editorial Board of the Vanguard newspapers, has described the Yorubas as "sophisticated morons".

Nnanna made this assertion in his reply to a post on Facebook.

Areh Sunday, a journalist and an aide to Delta State Governor, while reacting to President Muhammadu Buhari's declaration of June 12 as Democracy day on Thursday had gone to his Facebook page to express his disappointment in Yorubas for falling for the antics of the government of the day.

He posted:
"I use to think the South-West was very sophisticated. I was wrong. They are the most gullible. They fall for every poisoned carrot dangled before them"

Reacting to the post, Nnanna wrote:
"Sophisticated morons, more like"

This comment would not have elicited any reaction from me but for the fact that it was coming from the Chairman of the editorial board of one of the reputable newspaper houses in the country. A man of his status is expected to conduct himself in a respectful and responsible manner consistent with his function as an opinion-molder in the society.

Each and every newspaper is incomplete without the editorial section. They (editorials) are believed to be the heart and soul of newspapers. They display the values and policies of a newspaper and influence policy decisions.

A member of editorial board is expected to be matured, experienced, intelligent and well-informed. He must rise above politics, tribal and religion partisanship. An editorial member should be able to explain all the aspect of any issue in relating with past events, presents scenario and future prospectus. This is not the case with Nnanna as seen in this circumstance.

If this is the opinion of the Chairman of the editorial board of a national newspaper about Yorubas therefore, one should not be surprised about the view and news policies of Vanguard newspapers about the race.

It is my hope that Vanguard newspapers will caution Nnanna and apologise to the Yorubas for the embarrassment he has caused them.

This Idiot of an Editor is way stupid of his utterances. What gave him such an impression. He lacks wisdom and direction. Has he seen Yoruba's jubilating on the streets over the declaration. Even if they regard the declaration, of course there are blessings and joy in he midst of confusion. The Yoruba's cannot deny the elation but of course it does not form their political opinion at the poll.
Is this ballistics open mouth telling us that Igbo's have one voice? There will be staunch promoters and likewise the betrayals and so it is every where.
This shows how shallow in thinking he and his likes are.

In a sane country, Vanguard stocks would have drop, sales massively dwindled. No one should buy Vanguard again for the next 6 months, let's see what he got himself into

The Yourbas are not only morons they are cowards, and slaves to the foolanis Masters..

Achebe said d bitter truth, pls live with it. the same Achebe attacked azikiwe with d same venom, go read the trouble with Nigeria!!!

There is no way I or other tribes or people all over the world can live with propaganda & falsehood. He never spoke lie against Zik in the book. He only said Zik did not stand by the Ibos during Biafra. He said Zik ran abroad. He had said it when Zik was alive. He released the book while he was alive. Why didn't he release ' there was a country' when he was alive. You hate Prof Wole Soyinka, but the Supreme God fought his course.

I don't need to waste my time with you, I was among those that replied Prof ABC Nwosu articles in Guardian Newspaper when he was defending Prof Achebe for his attacks on Awo in that book.

I do not believe a man in his position will be naive enough to make such statement. The account is either not his own or his account was hacked. Someone is eyeing his job from the look of things.

its sad that people like still nnanna exist. my advice to vanguard, sake the bastard and put the ugly beast where he belongs.

If an educated Igbo could be this bitter, I don't expect less from illiterate ones.

"Sophisticated M0r0n"

Loooool

sokera:
if Yorubas are not suffering from their region actions why are the everyone else suffering from it ? You are wrong , when Gej was in power yoruba suffer a lot but we didn’t spread hate speech , all we did was to wait for the right time to vote our choice ... that is how politics is played , not by hatred and bitterness ... igbos love Fayose but they failed to learn From Fayose on how he respect Tinubu no matter what, you can see that ? That is how we play politics in the South- west , it’s not a game of bitterness ... igbos are trying to also cause confusion by labelling yoruba Muslim and yoruba Christian... Igbos let me warn you , that kind of game can’t work in south-west ...

Oh I beg to differ on the highlighted statement. I'm not an Igbo man (I'm annang, SS), but you have to admit that the pure venom and hatred received by Goodluck Ebele Jonathan from your geopolitical region, especially after his administration's attempt to withdraw oil subsidies, was unprecedented. Hell, it's the sane vile venom and hatred that got Buhari and APC into power and totally polarized the nation along ethnic lines. Hell, even the President lumped the regions that opposed him as the 5%ers in his first official US trip, while some prominent people from the SW (eg the Oba of Lagos) made fun of the Igbos and even went as far as issuing threats. Even on this online platform, the tribal war between the Igbos and Yoruba's have been brutal.

One more thing, please do tell how the Yorubas suffered under GEJ cos I find it quite difficult to believe that claim of yours, ESPECIALLY when your tribe was fairly represented in his administration.

you claim you are Igbo but I have never seen you defend the Igbo course when Yoruba's are attacking but see your like attacking your suppose Igbo fellow because sophisticated slowpoke

He only gave the permission for the book to be released on his sick bed. The book was published after his death. The whole world know Soyinka. Pyrate Confraternity is a phenomenon.
The ordinances of earth, the triangular powers - the sun, the moon & the stars know Soyinka & the Yorubas, that is why his enemies are grounded. You know what happened, except you are pretending.

Your chiefs weekly, paid homage to Abacha, he died. The man you wanted dead (PMB) is alive. You contributed to the early death of Yaradua . The god of Nigeria is against you & the same god has not released you to form Biafra. You should have learned from Prof Achebe's case.

He has already swallowed his vomit

DeOTR:
This is uncalled for. Election is still like 9 months away and some idiots already think Yorubas will vote massively for Buhari just because of June 12 and some post-humus awards.
I bet most Yoruba voters won't vote for Buhari based on this and if anyone thinks otherwise, it remains to be seen next year.
This is an insult on well meaning Yorubas like myself. I think the Igbos will do well to refrain from this bitterness against the Yorubas.
In Yorubaland, everyone is free to make his or her political and religious choices without fear of being labelled an outcast or betrayer.
Igbos should not overflog this issue. Most Yorubas have probably already decided whether or not to vote for Buhari before now, and nothing can change the decision, not even if he (Buhari) brings back Abiola from the dead to rule for the rest part of his tenure.

Yoruba's would always be slave to their Fulani masters wether you like or not.

Tinubu would always deliver you gullible people to Buhari so calm and watch.

Yoruba's would hand over 2nd term to their master so stop ranting.

gurnam:
I stopped reading vanguard newspaper many years ago. It’s a place filled with so much mediocrity

you Re broke to afford one

The people castigating Igbos for the comment by the editor of Vanguard has forgotten that it was an Igbo umpire that conducted the most free and transparent election that declared Abiola winner and gave him the platform to fight for his mandate.

Truly This country is not one.
