we condemn this in strong terms but his personal ugly utterances is NOT a representative of the collective Igbo thoughts and stand but his alone. Where do we put the unalloyed alliances of the Igbokwes, Okorochas, Nduibisis, Ezekwesilis, Onus, and several millions of peace loving ,live -and let -live igbos who want a united and progressive Nigeria devoid of ethno-socio and economic bias? I know so.

igbodefender:


Someone might have hacked Nnanna's account to embarrass him. It will not work.

He never denied making that unguided utterances,are you his mouth piece?

This cannot come from Chairman Vanguard editorial board. I am waiting for his explanation.

Hacked which account when he's been busy trying to work back his words?

Imagine him arguing he didn't mention any tribe in his remark.

Smh. The man just couldn't hide his hate anymore and ended up betraying himself.

He has been a closet Yoruba hater all his life, probably. He just mistakenly betrayed himself yesterday.

See him wailing about the award, just like many other known Yoruba haters.

ORIENTATION101:

Imagine his lame defense that he "didn't mention any tribe in his comment".

How disgraceful!

No wonder vanguard has been at the forefront of running anti government propaganda.

Seun, why is this news not in the front page? The embittered ibo animal just insulted a whole race.

This ain't a big deal, yorubas are worse than that mehn.

That ibo animal that made that statement will regret it

wingmanII:


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.

How did Yoruba insult u for voting gej? U guys are the ones insulting others for voting pmb even when his own ppl had moved on..

who takes vanguard serious these days they have been relegated to back sit.they re regarded as fifth columnist. that igbo bigot have been nursing the hatred for long but it couldn't contain it again when the June 12 declaration came up.
he would live to regret his actions cause his page has been bombarded with loads of insult

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

Oh my!This IPOB is a public figure who wants to ruin his career with stupidity.He should have tried to keep his hate for the sophisticated ones bottled up the way he has done for a long time.He is a good man.I pray he survives it.

igbodefender:


The starving children you see in that picture, some of them are multi millionaires today.

Ojukwu was one of the.greatest men to walk the face of the earth. Yorubas are a wonderful and excellent race.

Nnanna's account was probably hacked.

Can you point yourself out

Oblang:

They are the ones spreading hate. Believe me, that hate will come back to haunt them. Let them continue. Remember how one of them called us 'touts' and 'ewedu and amala people'?

did he mention anybody's name?

Wow... Just wow,unexpexted outburst from someone whose job is to censor sensational and sentimental parts of his subordinates work. How he managed to keep so much bile for so long is incredible.what a. Complete letdown. he betrayed his family, profession, age, tribe.I don't see how vanguard can spin this to avoid making a disciplinary action against him. There is no coming back from this. Lesson to all of us is always be careful with your thoughts lest they spill from your mouth, in this case his fingers.

lalasticlala this should be on the front-page. You can verify the news yourself.

Everything should not be about FFK and Fayose or PDP.

Ziggylady:

Calling Yorubas 'sophisticated Morons' is an understatement'..they are way worse than that..,Negative adjectives have not been coined to describe their thought process...

I heard they have all made 'aso-ebis' to party on June 12 because they thought buhari has made that day a public holiday...well Presidential rotten eggs have been thrown on their faces because the faceless 'Presidency' has declared that there shall be no public holidays ..

..Its clear these folks(SW)prefer holidays to having a decent standard of living ..

Their latest high is the CBN Deputy Governor's appointment...A Yorubaman replacing another Yorubaman who resigned has got them SW folks in another Fan-Frenzy mode for buhari....with another 100million votes for buhari promised by them..

Circus Comedy has got nothing in these folks

You people are just bitter for nothing.

Yorubas do not send you at all; even though you wail for eternity!

Stop this infantile higi haga.

omenka:
Wow! This Awo stuff really cut these guys deeper than I thought!

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.

What a shame!

What do you expect from a flat-headed dwarf whose lots were lucky to have not been exterminated with a nuclear bomb when the NAF had every right too.

He can continue to wail in peace.
