Just found out that his nigerian father abandoned him and his white mother and went back to nigeria when he was a baby. He has never been to nigeria and has no relationship with his father, which makes him Nigerian in name only. He is also married to a white woman that he met when they were both students at Cambridge university.

Ever head of this man, former CEO of Prudential Plc??

Thiam is Ivorian. However, yes, the headline should be qualified to indicate 'British born black'

Now it has to do with the most powerful Black man in Britain and he is Nigerian? No Biafra?, No Igbo?, No flat head? We all know so well if the person in question had committed an offence the insults would have rolled in, irrespective of if he had set foot here Or not.

I just hope this tribalism thing is just a joke and you guys aren't like that in person, otherwise this country is doomed. We have enough problems already to add division to it. Plus its really stupid, childish and disgusting and this applies to everyone involved.

He only bears a Nigerian name. I doubt if he has ever set foot on his father land before.


He does not have to set foot in Nigeria to be IGBO. His DNA reads IGBO. It's in the gene. Just like Scottish people and Norwegian people all over the world claim to be Celtic and Viking tigers. Mr. Olisa is an Igbo tiger.

You call it famzing, but to me it's something I do by default. Human migration is stuff that interests me anytime. It's even greater joy when I see a kinsman excelling so far from the homeland.

I don't think that's relevant, to me the most important thing is that I share kinship with his forbears.


Wether he has set foot in Nigeria or not doesn't matter and still wouldn't change his ancestry.

Just found out that his nigerian father abandoned him and his white mother and went back to nigeria when he was a baby. He has never been to nigeria and has no relationship with his father, which makes him Nigerian in name only. He is also married to a white woman that he met when they were both students at Cambridge university.

True!! His Biafran father ran out on his mum and never bothered to check on their welfare, from the time he was born, till date. undecided And some folks are here, claiming that he is one of them because his father is Igbo. Why don't they ask his father, why he abandoned his son in the UK over 60 years ago, and refused to care for him or his mother?? shocked

..... Not so Olisa, who is as cool as the proverbial cucumber, even when wearing the heavy military-style uniform of the Lord Lieutenant.

"He hates the idea of quotas, thinks that they humiliate the people that they are intended to help"

All of this is a very long way indeed from his humble beginnings in Nottingham, where he was brought up in straitened circumstances by his single mother (he never knew his father, who left them to return to Nigeria when he was young). http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/theroyalfamily/12008327/Meet-Ken-Olisa-The-most-powerful-black-man-in-Britain.html

It ishighly unlikely that he will ever identify with anything Igbo, whether in Nigeria or Biafra because of what his father did to him & his mum.

He's British. Leave him alone! You people love claiming people unnecessarily! HE IS BRITISH!

I don't know your problem. He was born from a Nigerian Igbo father and a British mother.

He is still Igbo. My nephew hasn't stepped foot on Nigeria yet he is still Igbo.
