She kind of looks like a typical nigerian, in most of the pix. Most of these competitions usually go to mixed people if blacks are slated to win, its a showbiz thing. |

Afam4eva: She looks half Asian though. The write up already says she is half Philipino/Nigerian. Guess dat xplains the "obvious" Asian look you saw! |

Yes, she does look somehow igbo in the photos, yet you folks claim you're not mixed. |

She's definitely half Nigerian, google says so. We can be proud of her and not because she won a beauty pageant, but because she's been through a lot of discrimination and inspired people in her land by doing so. www.theinvisibleandtheunheard..com/2013/01/dare-to-be-different-ft-ms-emily.html?m=1 |

I haven't seen any evidence to say she is of Yoruba decent and I will like someone including the person claiming facebook to provide one. However I guess Oke is a universal name and so could easily be claimed by any tribe and also as already said here she looks Igbo, lil wonder I thought she was. In anycase my Igbo sisters are known all around as beauty peagant winners and should keep repping.! One Igbo son is definitely very proud of you lot. If she turns out to be from somewhere else then Kudos to her.. Reminds me of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sozwdHBC8mU |

The mixed look is typically identified with igbos, yet you folks keep insisting you're not mixed. Usually, i've noticed igbos dont really like to acknowledge foreign input when it comes to appearance, meaning someone who has mixed heritage ( and looks it), will most likely simply have to be identified as igbo only as per facie. It might be a general thing in nigeria, i guess. |

As per beauty pagaeant winners, he who pays the piper dictates the tune. |
Re: Victoria Oke Is Philipines' Miss Dinagyang 2013 by OkparaIgbo: 7:40pm On Feb 02, 2013 |
tpia@: Not to disput your claim but a link with that would have been more concrete.! don't you think As for Igbo looking mixed, I will like to tell you that in Igbo land we have so many skin tones that are equally as beautiful therefore we are not mixed but just plain Black and beautiful/handsome for the guys.. . With regards to your gibberish of who pays the piper.....what nonsense? So the Igbo's pay more money now abi..? even with Otedola and Dangote who are not Igbo... Mehn stop this comedy and accept the truth that the Igbo's are just beautiful and classy and win these accolades on merit and nothing else. Have a look at this video too..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp5bloqJURo&NR=1&feature=endscreen |

Oga what more evidence do you want, is facebook not freely available ? :smh: You want to claim someone but you don't want to work for it shey lol Anyway if you google her name, her facebook profile comes up, on her wall where people are congratulating her she drops a message in beautiful English thanking everyone for their support. A guy who seems to have a full filipino name comments on it and congratulates her and reminisces about her father Olufunso's student days and the politics they played. Out of the people who liked that particular comment is an Olufunso Oke Jnr (who also happens to be a half Filipino and Half Nigerian). Clicking on his profile a look at his photos shows him visiting Nigeria in 2012 and visiting Oke Snr in his full Igbo attire All this, powered by google, using my phone, took a grand total of 5 minutes. Anyway, like people have pointed out, it's Yorubas who mainly bear Oke as a surname and all the Igbos I've met who bear Oke use it as a first name..... but I'm sure you all knew this already. 1 Like |

Ok I couldn't really bother going through all that however I based my judgement on her looks and her names Emily Victoria seeing that the Igbo's have been always accused in this forum of giving their kids english names..lil did I know that the fingers pointing at someone else has 3 more pointing at him.. Ok kudos to her and my initial statements on my Igbo sisters still remain. |

Ok kudos to her and my initial statements on my Igbo sisters still remain. Fair do. I just wish the people who started this could have first congratulated her as a Nigerian before bringing out the Tribal card. On all the fillipino links I saw, she never seemed to ba ashamed of identifying herself as a Nigerian/African, not some local Yoruba/Igbo/Urohobo girl. |
Re: Victoria Oke Is Philipines' Miss Dinagyang 2013 by OkparaIgbo: 8:02pm On Feb 02, 2013 |
Andro Blaze: Well the truth is that in Nigeria especially these days, it is clear that everyone should answer his/her fathers name first before considering the entity nigeria and anyone that thinks it's a lie is on a self destructing deceit. So me these days I am Igbo first of all before Nigeria and that is the way I will like to keep it. |
