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.

So it took continuous pestering of the mods to put this on the front page when all manner of fake/unverified news is promoted on Nairaland?! undecided

Anyways...

Let the world know the IGBO TRIBAL BIGOT Mr. Ochereome Nnanna, Chairman Editorial Board of the Vanguard newspapers really is...

God bless the Yoruba people and her well wishers!

When your people call Igbo people all manner names including calling for Igbo massacre by your prominent men like Wole Soyinka and co because of GEJ, heaven did not fall.

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.


Only sane comment so far.

Others are insulting the man for insulting their tribe. Two wrongs don't make a right.

His comment is rude, full of hate and most unbecoming of an Editor. It's so shameful!

I wonder why anyone would conclude that Yorubas will vote for PMB just because of this late hour favor done to correct the anomalies of June 12. The favor is accepted in good faith no doubt but time will tell if it will have a significant impact on the forthcoming elections.

People are wise. They can determine what is best for them under any situation.

effing 5%ers still cannot learn. this foool lives and works in lagos and he is still running his mouth insulting his hosts. they don't even have the slightest modicum of common sense to keep their hatred to their beer parlour and meetings. rather, they run their mouths in the open, calling it courage, then wail about marginalisation when the repercussions start.

their favorite yorubas are the duo of fayose and fani kayode, a pair of incompetent rabble rousers with no legacies
