While i condemn the bad mouth of Nnanna Ocherome on Yorubas, I wish to state that the idea of getting him sacked by Vanguard newspaper is not necessary. Yorubas who are threatening to stop buying vanguard newspaper should also know that the same could be applicable ro the igbos if he is sacked. Both Igbo vendors and newspaper readers may stop patronizing vanguard. How many yoruba newspaper vendors do they have compared to the igbos? If a vendor does not bring a particular newspaper to your area will you kill him? You think vendors are not important too.

For me, Nnanna should apologize for running his mouth wrongly and move on. Vanguard should not be threatened by the ultimatum being issued by the Yoruba journalists.

Most importantly, newspapers sell based on the quality of their news. If you stop buying Vanguard newspaper and they carry exclusive report of your interest will you stiil not buy it based on your sentiments? That will amount to foolishness and you will be the loser, not vanguard.

Newspapers survive on advertisements. Yorubaland corporate entities will be sensitized to the vanguard bigotry and that of its editors. We can't use our money to support bigotry.

The issue is about moral and not about what the constitution says.
Is it morally right to insult a whole tribe? The tribe you are insulting have people of intergrity among them, and when you make a generalized insult then it covers both the people of integrity among them. Is this proper?

Do you pay back evil with evil? Buhari is just playing politics like any other politician, we shouldn't worry about whatever he gives to Abiola. Just vote against him when the election comes.Simple

That means, una no go, go Church. The last time I checked, all Igbo Pastors are not pure. All Igbo Pastors see Church as a business. They are only there for the money only.
Don't be decieved by the new titles they are giving themselves recently. Tiles like, Bishop, Apostle, Reverend, Prophet e.t.c.
Most of their alters are products of rituals. I can never worship in an Igbo man's Church.

Either they vote Buhari or not, he doesn't need their 5% to win an election.
With votes from North, South West and some pockets of votes from South South, Buhari will be re-elected.

You think Buhari will win the north like before? The middle belt wont give him big votes like before. The south west wont vote him like before, I have seen more south west supporters of Buhari in 2015 who are against him today due to the harsh economy. Infact you hardly see those who were against him in 2015 coming now to support him. Even the south south wont vote him as before.South east may give him 1% this time.

Some core northerners who supported him are against him today and you hardly see any northerner who was against him in 2015 coming out now to support him. From all indications, Buhari has lost more of his supporters than winning the heart of his enemies. The election may surprisingly not favour him as you think.

The votes of the north will be shared among the northern candidates coming out from APC and PDP this time around. Its not like in the case of GEJ where votes were shared between north and south.

Corporate entities will not stop advertising their goods and services in a national newspaper like Vabguard just because of tribal comment made by somebody except if the management of the company are moro.ns.

Companies wants many customers to patronize their goods and services thats why they engage in series of adverts and spend huge monies for that matter. They want their companies to be patronized across every ethnic groups as much as possible so they cant engage in such an anti-profit act of not advertising in Vanguard just because someone insulted an ethnic group. Except if the company is being managed by moro.ns as i said before.

Yoruba is only a faction of vanguard customers . Its not the whole Nigeria so their boycott will not make the business to go down. It will affect their market to an extent but not to the point of them folding up. The boycott wont even last long.

Yea the guy should apologies for the wrong he did and not because of the threat of boycott by Yoruba.
