Emeka Nwagbaraocha is an actor who has acted in MTV Shuga and nollywood movies. He was recently signed as a brand ambassador by Chivita (who sponsored his trip to Port-Harcourt).

However, people on social media have highlighted derogatory posts that Emeka Nwagbaraocha made about the Yoruba ethnic group and they have called on Chivita to take action against him.

Ayobamidele~praise @Ayobamidelepra1

Chivita @Chivita_Active, a leading fruit juice company in Nigeria, has been enjoyed by people of all tribes and skin colors worldwide. However, we are concerned about the recent actions of one of your brand ambassadors, who made derogatory comments about the Yoruba people.

We urge Chivita to conduct thorough background checks on their ambassador @Emeneks to ensure he align with the company's values. This incident raises questions about whether Chivita values the patronage of Yoruba customers.

We demand an official statement from Chivita clarifying their stance on this matter or an immediate apology from the ambassador to the Yoruba people. We look forward to a prompt response."

Ayobami @dondekojo

Nobody is writing to Chivita that their new ambassador basically said an entire ethnic group have body odour and bad breath btw. Congratulations. As it should be. It’s the lack of consistency that makes me not take emergency activists seriously

If Toyin Abraham gets any endorsement, then it’s letters everywhere, without even denigrating an entire ethnic group. Why should people not go back into trench warfare with this sort of inconsistent behavior. You people don’t want to tell yourselves the truth and that’s fine.

Just realized the idiot @Emeneks tried to double down after deleting the tweet and the trail.

Saheed Opeyemi @shidof87

This stupidly tribalistic boy again, I know that a day like this will come but @Emeneks was myopic & immature to see it. Can we assume that @Chivitajuices are in support of all Emeka bigotry tweets & insults against other tribes especially against his host people, the Yorubas

Let's see what you're about to drop this time around....

Lol. That boy is a big tribalist on twitter. I don't even know who he is but often see his tribal post every now and then. When he makes those tribal posts, he gets plenty likes from his fellow ibos.

Some mumu Yoruba boy in LP called salako would made a post to insult yoruba, he would get plenty likes from Ibos, the moment he posts good things about yoruba, the mofo will get like 10 likes 😂

I don't see this Yoruba Igbo tribal war ending anytime soon, sadly

Was Tinubu the president in 2019?

Should we talk about Peter Obi's tribal bigotry of 2008-2013 in Anambra by making posters of Ngige sandwiched between Awolowo and Tinubu, while that of Dora sandwiched between Azikiwe and Ojukwu?

Or his religious bigotry of Catholic vs Anglican in Anambra.

Or his clannish politics of not allowing non Anambra Ibos to contest in elections in Anambra, even as low as market leadership positions.

Or his recent religious bigotry (religious war) of Muslims vs Christians in 2023?

KERMIT ỌMỌ YORÙBÁ @Saint_kermit

This dude @Emeneks has this things to say about yoruba people. Yet stupid yoruba producers keeps giving him roles and jobs meant for yoruba people while he denigrates their culture with so much joy on his face.

They denigrate you with so much joy but a fool like you will gibe oit post meant for yorubas to people whom your existence angers them. You all will learn the hard way.

What of bayo onanuga that taught him?

Yorubas STILL forming "Accomodating" and "Sophistication" WAKE UP!

We've allowed "DEM" become too comfortable in our midst, on our lands.

WAKE UP!!

Let "DEM" go back to their God-forsaking region.

YORUBA RONU!!!

It cant ever end, I wasn't this bad myself but dem don too do am and the gbas gbos must continue.

Yorubas see an Igbo trader who sells his goods peacefully at Alaba or Ladipo markets and uses the profit he makes to buy land in Lagos to build house and contribute to Lagos city development as a bigger danger and threat to Yoruba land than a Fulani herdsman terrorist living in Yoruba forests, armed with AK47 shooting and killing Yorubas in Yoruba land.


That is how deep their hatred for Igbos is while they pretend to be accommodators, their mask of deceit has fallen off since 2023

Thewrath:
What of bayo onanuga that thought him?

Bayo Onanuga is defending his political territory, he attacked igbos when they attacked him and his principal. two different things, this one attacked yoruba when no one attacked him.

Comedy..

Na you dey read bigoted meanings into it.. Those are harmless banters

The boy is still a learner self

Yorubas have done 1000 times worse in this regime and the last time i checked heaven didn't fall

E RONU!

I was one of those stupid liberals and sophisticated morons prior to 2023 elections . Let's just say the after election opened not just my eye, but that of a lot of Yorubas. Ati fi ina si orule sun ti pe.

Several Yoruba conservatives used to warn us about kokoro ti ounje efo. But we usually do not take them seriously. Those guys post would back then get 5 or 6 likes. Nowadays, their posts are now getting 1000 likes and up on twitter..

I have proudly joined the ronu team on twitter and all other social media platform.

bayo amunuga should be relieved of his duties for direct attacks on other ethnic groups

Taught not “thought” olodo.

Any Igbo taking this people serious is a clown.

Don't mind them. They want us to forget bayo onanuga and focus on this small boy

Agbad0rians sha 😒 always chasing rats when their house is on fire 🔥

As if the yorubas didn't disenfranchise many Nigerians in lagos just because they looked fresh, smelled good and dressed fine

They even chased their own kinsmen from the polling boots due to same indices lol 😆 imagine FEMI chasing away WALE because wale looked like an Igbo man

Was Bayo Onanuga throwing tribal insults in 2019 like this boy?
Thanks to God that we are now all Ronu-ing.

It is Bola Ahmed Tinubu that threatened Reno Omokri's baby? You people are unstable, you were insulting yorubas leaders, Pastors, and even threatened babies with death because of their political correctness, so people can not decide who they want to vote for? Even Fela Kuti, who is dead, was insulted by psquare.

My issue is, whenever Yoruba or other tribes they attack respond to them in kind, they'd start to call it igbophobia. How many Yoruba men and women have these folks not attacked?. Even here on Nairaland, Yoruba can't respond without being banned. The only group of people i know in the world that go to their host land for survival and keep disrespecting their hosts. What a shame!

-Kiss the truth!

well he is throwing now.. his words as a sectional leader holds weight .may have led to some loss of lives and properties in the last elections..u should push for his sack if you are not a tribalist

Lol. He is not even tribal, yet you are calling him a tribalist just as you label every one a tribalist.

On the twitter streets, it is now gbas for gbos. No time for political correctness again. Even the politicians have gotten the message.

Gossiphub:


Bigoted Hypocrite!

When it turns to your tribesman, you give excuses. But others don't have same right.

Do you know if Emeka was defending his breath because of the odour oozing from the girls he has met?

Imagine a Post of 2023 making headlines when 2024 is almost over..

Naptu2 you're such a huge disappointment for wanking on this crap.

We have been seeing old posts of Bayo Onanuga, Dada Olusegun as regards their stance on protest and Moderators refused to push it to front page as they will push this nonsense to fp


Oh boy! Go look for better things to post. Ire oo

Well, charity begins at home, you are showing whom your parents are, you never disappoint.
