When the news filtered in that some Nigerians are contesting for the UK parliament seat, many Nigerians were happy their brothers and sisters were contesting for top public office in a white man's land.

But while many was happy and made was jubilant about their exploits, i sat down to ask myself if this guys were really Nigerians. Many Nigerians are quick to associate themselves with success in other land but will support mediocrity in their own Nation.

What really has made the likes of Chuka Umunna and the others Nigerians, aside their names and the fact that one or two of their parents are Nigerians. Apart from that this guys are well and thorough bred UK citizens. They did not rise to the top of their political career through thuggery, they never shed blood just because of their ambition neither have they rigged elections to get to power. Their case is the opposite of their counterparts in Nigeria. So are they really Nigerians?

Nigerians have been proud of these guys but what is it that they are proud of in this guys? That these guys might be pro- homosexuals or might be one? Whereas Nigerians hypocritically despise such people in their country. That this guys have gotten married to a white woman of another tribe, religion or denomination. Or they have girlfriend of white descent as seen in the case of Chuka. Whereas here such marital combinations are frown at by almost every tribe and religion in Nigeria.

Certainly, Chuka and the rest guys who have won their parliamentary election does not discriminate against other religion, tribe, race or language. If they had, they wouldn't have gotten this far in life.

What really has made this guys Nigerians when they hardly think like many of their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters back home.

Nigeria and Nigerians must change their mentality towards many things and embrace themselves in love, shun tribal sentiments and see each other as one.

They're not Nigerians. You need Nigerian citizenship to be Nigerian. They're British and Igbo.

Igbo is a nation not a tribe, making me a nationalist. Still none of them are Nigerians. A Nigerian is a citizen of Nigeria, not an ethnicity, language, culture, or tribe. Ummuna and co are Igbos and British citizens.
