Chief Forest Whitaker, Nwannedinamba of Nkwerre (Brother that is abroad of Nkwerre)

Chief Danny Glover, Enyioma of Nkwerre (Good friend of Nkwerre)

Forest Whitaker had taken a test showing that his paternal ancestry hailed from the Igbo people of Southeastern Nigeria.

*** Note ***

"there are only 30 Nkwerre chiefs in the whole world" The eldest Anyiam-Osigwe said this, so it is not a throw away title.

What's my business? Your writing as if I care that much, he's Igbo, he got a chieftancy title (a relevant one), big deal, get over it!

tpia:

you dont know any whites with Nigerian chieftancy titles?

If I did I wouldn't have asked you . . . . . . (that is to white people who did not do anything to warrant a chieftancy title)

.

tpia:

well, there plenty of white people with valid and authentic Nigerian chieftancy titles.

you're free to disbelieve me however. Or give it your own spin.

I don't care that much . . . . .

What do u mean by nollywoood and tribalism

Is tribalism not found in Nollywood?. Forrest Whittaker went to Nigeria for AMAA awards and somehow found himself at Nkerrre. I am no fool.

So he should have gone to Lagos instead to get his Igbo chieftaincy title?

Were should he have been taken to.

Not exactly rather it's the principle behind the chieftancy that matters.

Congrats Forest

When is Morgan Freeman's Turn?

Will Smith Yoruba?? ha- but then again maybe?

But in wikipedia it stated that most AA descendants are from the Igbo tribe, because the women were the most wanted by the slave traders. No joke oh~

Anyway, @ topic

I'm sure most of you want to make this a tribal thing.

Fact is, getting a chieftancy title in Nigeria isnt news to most people. Abiola alone had over 100 titles from every tribe in the country.

Even if the thread was showcasing Yaradua receiving  a chieftaincy title in Ezeagu's hometown, people will still comment. Likewise if it were Ezeagu himself being installed chief rainmaker in Ogbomosho, you'll still get the same kind of talk.

na today people dey get chieftancy title? Lots more where that came from.

Next time an Oscar winner is given a chieftancy title in Nigeria, call me.

I can only imagine how many poor cows and he-goats they slaughtered for that event
