“My name is Chen Emmanuel, I’m half Chinese and half Nigerian. Dad is the Chinese, mom is Igbo. I think there are very few of us in the world maybe less than 20. I think Nigerian blood made I and my siblings way finer and different from the normal Chinese. We are way taller than the average short Chinese race. We look quite more appealing (I think) Better Hair…I think moms blood is strong We don’t have the “sleepy eye’ thing and some other private things…lol, ” he told Linda Ikeji.

Ynaija spoke with him and here are some of the things the handsome Chines-Nigerian had to say:


Why he loves being Igbo:

First, my mom is Igbo. Two, Igbo people to me are the smartest in the world. They can maneuver and blend anywhere in the world. I grew up here, so that makes me more fluent in Igbo.

Growing up:

So many memories I can’t recount. God has been faithful. I blend in both worlds. With the Igbo community and the Chinese too. Either ways I’m more familiar with the Igbos. I hear Igbo really well. Chinese a little. Growing up wasn’t that easy because I did not look like the normal Igbo kid.

I had people who loved it and others who ‘yabbed’ it. Back then, I could not head to the market because there will always be people shouting everywhere, calling me ‘oyibo oyibo’. It was fun sometimes though. Sometimes, I have to speak Igbo to blend or change their minds, other times I just bow down my head and keep walking.

For instance, the times when some traders try to cheat me in the market thinking I am a foreigner not knowing I have been there for a long time. Even in School, I faced the same thing but now I am used to it, it is very much fun.

Hobbies:

He loves music and is currently working on a Gospel Album that will feature Gospel singer, Nathaniel Bassey.

“I started singing in secondary school after I was forced to lead praise one day because the worship leader was absent. I led truly and people were moved in a way I had never seen, even all my teachers were commending me and since then music was it for me. I love gospel music a lot and most inspiration comes from Donnie Mcclurkin. Nathaniel Bassey and Micah Stampley. I love swimming and intellectual games, I love meeting people. I hate being proud though some people feel I am. I love meeting new people a lot..especially singers and artists too”

His upcoming album:

I am not releasing the album to make profit. I will produce the songs for free. Some of my songs are danceable, especially the Igbo ones. I have also some worship song and solo works in the album.

Favorite meal:

My favorite meal would be Egusi soup and Eba

Similarity between Igbos and Chinese:

Well, both of them are very wise sets of people. Very committed to whatever they do. They know how to cooperate very well, they are money focused. I once heard of a Chinese man who had hotels but still drove a taxi to make more money. They uphold their traditions and festivals too.

The world knows this even highly placed governments...

"Igbos are wandering Jews of West Africa - gifted, aggressive, westernized, and at best, envied and resented, but mostly despised by their neighbors in the Federation---" (a White House Memo on Biafra January 28, 1969 to President Nixon by Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger) (Source : U.S Foreign Relations Documents Volume 5 , 1969)

Dr. Thomas Sowell, renowned American philosopher in one of his books recognized four highly gifted peoples across the world: The Jews, Germans, Chinese and Igbos.

Give them Biafra and watch them build a civilization never seen before in a black nation.

Wow. Just look at how the Boy is proud of his IGBO ancestry.. Choi. Igbo Amaka.

Smart yet they got scammed by clueless Jonathan repeatedly...

1. 2nd Niger Bridge

2. Ibaka Port

3. Onitsha Seaport

4. Dredging River Niger

5. Boko Haram Prisoners Transfer to Anambra

Smart yet they swallow all the rubbish from Nnamdi Kanu without applying common sense....

Smart yet they've been unable to rule their own country...

Smart yet the North has turned them to Akpan's in Nigeria..

So smart they are in the 3rd world, yet they believe someone in the developed world that said they are the smartest

Smart indeed.

They mis-used their smartness to become second class citizens in their country. Where is the smartness.

Any widely travelled person must have to agree that there is something innovative and smart about the ibo race. Despite being relatively louders, they tend to thrive on criticism

thks dear, even buhari knows that

With your dullness are you a first class citizen of Nigeria or are you on the fringes struggling how you can become more nigerian

Good morning Sir!

With your dullness [i]are you a first class citizen of Nigeria [/i]or are you on the fringes struggling how you can become more nigerian

Keep asking yourself.

What I found out though is that if you take the intelligent quotient across nigerian states and take an average then you would have the highest national average in the south eastern part of the country.

This reflects in the large number of graduates, PhD, post graduate, jamb takers and common entrance takers.

AbuMaryam1:

Keep asking yourself.

For the benefit of the doubt, even though your region has produced the most rulers in nigeria but statistics from common entrance, jamb ,federal common entrance show you how trail more than 100 years behind the igbo race.

If the 2 group find themselves in different countries. Igbo literally would be said to be first world country while low literacy, low standard of living, high poverty rate would confine you to third world country

You lack cogent reasoning, you are guided by illusions. Our region is lagging behind but yet you can't stay in your region you have to come down in the mix of almajiris for survival. I pity your life.
Which different country are you talking? Which country in the whole world didn't know Igbo race are the first class criminals from Nigeria? Could you belief people from other world are differentiating Nigerians, they knew who are Igbos. Stop insulting yourself. Repent, otherwise you remain second class citizen.
