caracas:

And why should a fake news give you sleepless nights?
Simple, you were just filled with jealousy n hatred for that particular tribe that the so called fake news extoled, otherwise I see no reason why any reasonable human would give a damn about fake news.
You need to purge yourself sir your hatred,fear n jealousy of the igbos might become your undoing soon

No reasonable human should give a damn about fake news? But when Reno Omokri claimed Itsekiris enslaved Igbos, you guys cried endlessly like babies, insulting Reno and accusing him of disseminating fake history. You're a colossal slowpoke and dubious cretin for suggesting that reasonable humans shouldn't give a damn about fake news. Rihanna never said she was Igbo, go cry somewhere else, you fake news loving dimwit!

Brugo:


Of course it’s false.

The same people who are trying to bully modern day Israelis into accepting them as a “lost” tribe. Why would anyone be surprised that they would lie about Rihanna’s ancestry.

Same people who said Donatus Trump was coming to attend burial in igboland. ;

Igbos need to gum-body before they can be proud of themselves.

Acute inferiority complex syndrome

. The igbos are quick to lay claims to popular figures where as the unknown gun men are unleashing mayhem in their lands just the way some idiots praying towards mecca are making the north a hell on earth..... May God save Nigeria one day..... Them for come out come claim say Barack Obama na from Anambra..... Rihanna kor..... Beyonce ni

einsteine:


But you were not shocked earlier when the fake news was posted?

It is serious inferiority complex that makes a very West African tribe to claim to be Jews and to seek to attach and claim people who don't claim them. Is there something missing with Igbos that they have to look around for unnecessary ways to say "Igbo Amaka"?

How does that affect anybody, they can choose to claim who so ever they choose to claim, it does not affect the price of commodities in the market.

OmoEpe:



Envy? Can one envy falsehood? Something untrue?

Abeg rest

And in what ways has the false hood affected you that you had to be this Petty over something as inconsequential as this?

Igbos are already a remarkable people. My question is why do they still resort to lies and propaganda to make themselves feel good? It is embarrassing to say the least. Grow up, Igbos. Grow up.

FarahAideed:
It's clear many people had sleepless night over that quote and went out to start digging

I credit those that went digging. We should not get use to propagating lies to achieve any aim. If u cant get truth to support whatever, maybe the thing isnt worth supporting really

I know they'll try all they could just to downgrade that name 'igbo' but who cares greatness awaits the Igbo's in the future

goslowgoslow:

Not only Ipob even you! All of you are disgrace! What is special about her being Igbo or any other linage?

asked ipob why they falsely claimed her

Asgard73:
Na so the thing pain Yoruba people reach

Na wao!

Tribal Nigeria.

It wouldn't be Nigerians, Ghanaians more likely.

I hope that one day this trick of getting away with things by having Nigerians blame themselves ends.

igbos are their inferiority complex is at it again..... God why are the igbos always begging for higher class people to join them na?

Don't call it sleepless nights.
That is a very important information about a global superstar. It's only right that people will want to determine if it's false or authentic.
What surprises me is that it took over 24 hrs for this report to come out.
After seeing the story yesterday, it took me about 10 minutes on my phone to realize it is fake news.

OK NOW EXPLAIN THAT TO THE MODS

As u can see, am still commenting ....woooo!

What has ghanaians got to do with this? Smh

Ibos and unnecessary claim, they like to feel among. Any suucesful black person is from Igbo land. Who remembers the guy that was suufocated by police then which later led to black life matters, Ibos claim him to Imo state guy

The one that FBI verified about your tailor Abba Kyari have you believed it?

Monogamy:


No,this is not stupid thread and it deserves to be on FP.

The first person that posted about Rihanna claiming Igbo said in a tweet, we have asked him for the tweet screenshot, it's almost a week now.

The second one that grace FP, that one also claimed in an interview, we asked for the video or transcript of the interview, nothing up till this moment..

Meanwhile, it's something that is now common from SE lately, unverified news....

Or do you have the said interview clip where Rihanna claimed her mum told her she's from Igbo origin?

Why are you feeling so offended by Pulse doing the right thing exposing false news?
Why?

It's a lie, there are various news all over the world thats documented but can only be released to the public based on demand. It is only Africa that's on the edge because she said blatantly she's Igbo in Africa.

If in the place she made the interview is U.S, and they ask for the said talk, the media would release it immediately. But the frenzy is only happening in Nigeria perhaps in Africa and no one else.

She's Igbo and if people in the U.S ask for the said talk or interview with her it would be released.

Boudiccao:


Which one is my lie. The lenghts you all went through in this investigative journalism just because a connection was made between Rihanna and Igbos shows how much bile you have for Igbos.
On a normal day, Igbos would not be bothered if the reverse was the case.
Safe to say people didn't sleep because of the Rihanna's alleged igbo story.

Do you know what investigative journalism actually means? A few Google searches is adequate to debunk a silly lie

Your inferiority complex is nauseating

BSsniffer:
A people with no culture, tradition or value system constantly looking for how they'd uplift their inferior tribe and wankk their damaged egos....gumbody tribe. Tommorow they're the Jews, next week they're the Germans....*spits

Bitterness can kill oooo

Hmmmm

MoIbrahim:

Yes boss

FarahAideed:

Yes boss

Lol!

But the igbos should ask themselves why in God's name they need to attach their great tribe to unnecessary frivolous claim. The Igbo tribe is great already without attaching to Rihanna. My two Kobo.

KingOfAllIgbos:


WALAHI... i knew it was a LIE.

Seun... investigate your MODs. There's an openly pro - Igbo / Biafuro one amongst them.

Now d truth is coming out , so Nairaland is tribal with posts ? No wonder , a news involving a south westerner dat committed murder in Malaysia and was jailed , was posted on Nairaland, but was deleted by d MODs . Now we are being cleared, any anti Igbo news is given front page sit, but any other them go , withel d story down small.

Keep quiet. That story was unverified.

I told Seun not to put it out without investigation.
