However, Ifeanyi has deleted the post above in what seems to be a panic reaction after his first post drew the ire of Nigerians online who decried such ethnic hate message from a Nigerian soldier.

He replaced the post with another with the words, "Yoruba is OK, I love you guys, and you guys are not dirty."
