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.

Bitter loser! With the way Ibos are going with this and over-stepping their boundry, I hope they won't start crying victim when we retaliate? If a Yoruba man had said something like this, they would be crying everywhere. I wish they continue it so that they won't blame us when this escalate. Thank God that we are now in IT age. Anything you say is already is stored another person's computer to provide evidence.
bleeping ibo loser. If you like, don't get over the 2015 election.

Coming from one of theirs who could pass for an educated and enlightened man, I am really taken aback by this overt display of unbridled hate and jealousy.

a shame! embarassed

Omenka! You and Sarrki are probably the most mentioned here. But these days, you rarely comment.

Why insulting and hating others who don't comply to your own reasoning, is that how educated people reason?, Nigerians have every right to vote whosoever they choose to vote for, for the fact that you hate a particular person doesn't mean every body must hate him/her, We should do away with this level of hatred hence it consumes us all.

How can you insult an entire race because they refuse to dance to you tune, this is pathetic. Shame!

No wonder Vanguard is a tribal medium.
If an old dickhead could make such inflammatory post against a whole tribe publicly only God knows what untrained youths would do.
To my Yoruba brothers; the easterners hate you. That's the sad truth.
It may interest you that while Abiola largely won in the North the Easterners voted against him.
Let's make sure this dickhead lose his job in Vanguard.
Screengrab and broadcast the hate speech.

While this man is like a broken clock that is right twice a day, he was just an opportunist who is at the right place at the right time. That said, but are Yoruba sophisticated morons? Oh yes! Are we embarrassment to ourselves? You bet! But the only thing worse than all of that is the tribe of the person who made the comment, the people who are politically dead and irrelevant in Nigeria. This ibo man forgot that, he was only able to.write such because we are sophisticated morons, otherwise he would not have the thought let alone print it on a newspaper. Yoruba chose to live their lives like a conquered people, that shouldn't be anyone's problem. Nnamani or whatever his name is should stop sniffing Yoruba's butt, we have it but don't wield it, ibos have nothing to wield and are screwed for life, and at the mercy of others.

My fellow Igbos should hands off Yoruba political aspiration in Nigeria, whatever suit them let them do.

God knows the best, if Igbos have not gone into extinction in the last 50 years they will not go now even if Yoruba make Buhari the life president of Nigeria.

Time will tell,lets we Igbos focus on our own politics of Nigeria.

I visited his page on facebook and the guy is already eating back his words, how can someone of his status be that careless, he'll still be called out and a sack letter handed to him or even prosecuted for hate speech.

Yeah, but did they leave Igbos alone to back GEJ? What insults did Igbos not endure just cause they exercised their right to support whom pleased them.

Glad the old punk is already being served some cool aid.

This "mistake" betrayed all the hate he's bottled up against Yorubas over the years. The pressure deep inside became overwhelming he couldn't contain it anymore - hence the eruption, just like a volcano.

It must've been hackers' work.

But truth be told,what he is accused of saying is very correct. They are very gullible.
The north was the sole beneficiary of the june12 abortion.
Today,they,the north/buhari/apc have carried out another june12 abortion cos the glory and benefit goes to same buhari/north.
What do the yorubas get,award for two dead ppl who were tortored and destroyed,killed by same north. Kingibe was also awarded and he will enjoy the full benefits of the awards and all benefits of being a past vp and he is still alive while buhari carries the yoruba vote. So,again,victory for the north.
Tell me how these ppl aint moronic.
Lzaa immhotep pointzerom shalomc
contactwale:
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.

Wale OLAYANJU
but there was no mouthfoaming sermon-on-the-mount when the dullard of a supposed president tagged his own citizens as 5%,was there,now?
