I never said anything about him being born Nigerian, I said he was born in Britain of a British Mother and an Igbo father.

ok its alright. But i stil dont see any difference. Lol. Born by a nigerian father is a nigerian. I guess he does not even know that there is a tribe called "igbo" let alone knowing where it is located.

I'm sure he knows the Igbo tribe. A man doesn't get to that level in life without asking about his origins

KEN is not Nigerian in any sense. I worked directly with him for 3 years, I was reporting to a CEO (Thames Reach) who in turn reported to Ken. He was the Chair of the board of directors. Well accomplished. A big fish in the financial Centre of London.He use to brag about how everybody couldn't afford to live on the street he was living in Buckinghamshire. I guess that was the Flat/head blood in him. He is 100% British and I can't see him visiting or acknowledging Nigeria.

Everywhere in the world our Igbo race keeps shining on.
