There has been deep rooted speculations over the nationality of the Gabonese president - Ali Bongo, with many claiming that he is of Nigerian descent. Presently there is crisis in the Central African country and part of the grievances is that they cannot have a foreigner (Nigerian) ruling them.

Links to the current crisis can be found below:

..............It is important to include in this report that President Ali Bongo had filed in France a complaint against Pierre Pean author of a book defending the theses that he is of Nigerian heritage.

Such can never happen here in Nigeria where i come from... The very moment your poster is on the street for one position or the other, people will dig up your great grand father's history.
Know your electees.. Atleast come 2015 we already know is either a cattle rearer from the North or a FisherMan from the South.

There are just some unclear issues.

1. What are the names of his parents?

2. Where are his parents from in Nigeria?

3. Is there an English translation of the birth certificate?

So far, I think they have no point. If he has a 'birth certificate' written in French, doesn't that make him a citizen of a 'francophone' country by birth?

Even as I do not understand 'french' inscriptions, the names (proper nouns) written in that certificate are either French (e.g. Dominique) or strange (e.g. Kama, Ndanlangu or so), not English or Nigerian.

Besides, Brazzaville is clearly written on it, which I think is the capital of Congo.

These people are just tagging Nigeria for naught other than selfish purposes. angryangryangry
