These are not Nigerians some of them don't even know the way to Nigeria embassy in UK let alone Nigeria

They should go back to their villages. None of them would be able to run for elections in a neighbouring state in Nigeria that they are not indigenous to.

They are NOT Nigerians stop attaching

the look cute more like half cast and they look intelligent to not like all this our old fat ugly politicians that wont let fine bois like us contest.

Na now una know say dem be Nigerians abi?

As omonnakoda rightly said,they are NOT Nigerians
Please can you stop this imbecilic moronic cravings especially those claiming them for their ethnic groups
True they might have Nigerian heritage, but which amongst them proudly associates with the wasteland Nigeria has become of today?
We should rather see them as citizens of a nation that works and see how we can model Nigeria to such a pattern
My 2 pennies!

Later some Yorubas will start condemning my brothers of wanting to own their territory. Ibos making wave in dispora steadily.... Proudly Ibo, Proudly Lagosian, Proudly Nigerian. Stop the hate game, IBO IS BLESSED.
