He made a senseless remark not expected of somebody of his status. He failed look at the issues on all sides. He didn't look wide enough to notice that not all Yorubas view the declaration in the same way. He didn't think deep enough to know that Yorubas are sophisticated voters. 3 Likes |

Yyeske:he could not control his emotions, if you know Igbos very well you will know they are naturally bitter people , and no matter what happened they will always hate the Yorubas, only God knows which part of the Bible they read , they are the majority Christians but it does not tell on them with their hatred and bitterness in their soul ...

Prince Sam Amuka Pemu, the founder of Vanguard Newspaper is a man of honour. A journalist of high reputations & ethics. Vanguard has been very neutral even when people expect a little bit of variation in his editorial content. During June 12 struggling of 1993 to 1994 & NADECO struggling of 1993 to 1999, Vanguard was never part of the struggle, very neutral. Even when Pa Rewane was assassinated, Vanguard was neutral. Pa Alfred Rewane & Prince Sam Amuka are from Sapele Area. Any individual is entitled to his opinion. His kinsmen said Awolowo drank poison because of a failed coup to avoid Babangida's coup plotters trial. No Hausa man will ever come up with such falsehood & blackmailing of a statesman, except embittered generation. Some of us were in the service, Cmdre Ukiwe has resigned & retired as the CGS about 2 yrs before the death of Awo. There was no intelligence report of coup plot & IBB was very close to Awo family. In fact, the POP of 7th RC of Naval College was shifted because of Awo's state burial ceremony. The Ibos take the poison story as their revenge on Awo. Late Prof China Achebe attacked Awo in his last book ' there was a country'. Many notable Nigerians (non ibos) condemned the attack, but Prof ABC Nwosu defended him because the book was released after Prof Achebe's death. They are embittered against Nigeria. GEJ is a good man, but a minority who brought them to government. They intentionally looted all the oil money and depleted the reserve as a vengeance against Nigeria. The Bible says, out of the abundance of the mind, the mouth speak. Thank, God Nnana has vomited what he has kept in his mind, at last, his mind can have rest. 8 Likes |

Mr Ochereome Nnanna is the Chairman Editorial Board of Vanguard Newspapers. He is also apparently an ethnic bigot who could not hide his hatred for the Yoruba race due to the June 12 recognition of Chief MKO Abiola, GCFR. In a comment on Facebook, Mr Nnanna referred to the Yorubas as “Sophisticated Morons”! I wouldn’t have made an issue of this because I understand that emotions were rife but considering the sensitive position he occupies, I feel it is dangerous for this nation for a man who directs the editorial board of a national newspaper to be this hate filled. The management of Vanguard Newspapers need to call Mr Nnanna to order or reconsider his fitness for such a sensitive role. With this level of unveiled disdain for a race, it is difficult for anyone to expect any neutrality or fairness from Vanguard Newspapers. If this nation means anything to you, please share this until the Management of Vanguard Newspapers does something about Mr Nnenna’s attitude. We should stop condoning bigots in positions of authority. Nigeria belongs to ALL of us! " 7 Likes |

Arysexy:I honestly appreciate your matured response but i beg to differ, Opadokun doesn't constitute the entire Yoruba hegemony, he might have been a loud and prominent voice but that has not given him any authority to represent an entire race, every ethnic group has people how can sell their soul for peanuts. it is so unfortunate that Opadokun is one of them. 1 Like |

ocelot2006: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 ... 12 Likes 2 Shares |

This thread indicates the average state of Nigerian minds. It's show the atom of unity is so minute in this country. If someone with reputable profile that auger such ridiculous statement, it speaks more of what will runs in others' heart. Mind you, I condemn any tribalistic words made against any tribe but sometimes one might be tempted to act. |
