SimonAndal: You're here fighting over his ethnicity or lack thereof, but correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure he never identified with Nigeria in his interview.

Piyke: I do congratulate him its no easy feat.

However the way we celebrate these kind of achievements raises a bugging question in my mind; does it come from an unconscious mindset that these people(whites) are better than us? It wouldn't be news to celebrate if a Briton got a top post in Nigeria. So why should we really celebrate?

PhysicsQED: Nri, you've heard of the word 'Orisa' before, right?

And you know that r and l sometimes replace one another in words, right?

So what's your beef with my statement? It's just reality.

No offense when he was born and as igbos the children are not taught to see themselves as nigerians, but as igbos. Just like many tribes in nigeria, we claim our ethnicity first and loyal to our ethnicity first before the country-because we dont believe in it. Next Olisa for you novice is of igbo origin. Each igbo clan have a specific God to their land. Igbo language is very versatile and remains so, so no need to argue his existence, the guy doesnt, so why take medicine for his headache. Just like there are many names used to call God in yoruba, each igbo clan have names specific to them and their God. First of all Chi or chinekerem- The God who created me-in igbo means ones personal God originally but do to chritianity it got used to mean chi-ukwu or chukwu which means big God-almighty God. But again it doesnt matter his origin the fact is that he doesnt identify with nigeria, and i dont blame him, because he wasnt raised nigerian, but igbo biafran. I dont know why you all always feel the need to be tribalistic about every good and bad news. May God help us all.

FSU:

Per Naija tribal demagoguery, it is not important where he was born in. What is important is his ethnic heritage. Apparently, he is Igbo (Delta Igbo or Anambra Igbo), as in, Olisa Agbakoba family. This Igbo people sef. All those Yoruba criminals in the UK should begin to repent. Biafran police will whoop their a/rs/es soon

Musiwa,,:
you be correct igbo, igbo people like to claim better thing. If them say, the man now criminal now, you go say olisa na yoruba name? Una go kill person self.

NRI PRIEST:


Firstly,ORISA doesnt mean God in yoruba,rather its a deity worshiped by them(the yorubas) unlike OLISA which means God in Igbo and has no pagan connection! All these misinformed ppl who say Igbos bear ORISA are very ignorant of what they are yapping about! I put my life on it that Igbo dont bear ORISA! Its either Olisa,Obasi or Abasi if at all we use the later. Orisa is an exclusive yoruba word and it has no Igbo root nor connection,whatsoever! Again,Igbos do not use Orisa and I will challenge anybody to prove me wrong! Its painful how ignorant some ppl are about a certain culture yet find the gut to come out and spew rubbish! I hate that! Orisa is a yoruba word and no Igbo bears that name!!

bittyend: Who cares? Phuck the feds!!!

Chinom:

I will throw the question back to you. Why would Nigerian/ African parents go to any length to make sure that their kids born in the UK or USA obtain a Britsh or American Passport ?. NO BRITISH OR AMERICAN CHILD BORN IN NIGERIA APPLIES FOR A NIGERIAN PASSPORT. The Singer Nathalie Imbruglia was born in Nigeria. Does she carry a Naija passport ?. NO. My friend accept the reality and move on.Those questions you posed are just politically correct questions, but utterly meaningless and unrealistic. We have a loooong way to go.

People like you call Late Nzeogwu and Igbo man (Which truely he was without shame) because he lead a coup, but you forget he was from Asaba. [/b]Thank God you could acknowlege Asaba man in Delta state is Igbo.

sweet hunibun: Foolish negro getting excited over black police commander. Ibo, yoruba, benin etc he will lock you up if he caught you doing sh*t. The more he got his own black race lock up the more he got credit from his white boss.. Get that straight in your head

chillbabe:

What a load of BS get a life

PhysicsQED: There are definitely Yorubas with the last name Olisa. There can be no doubt about that. It's no big deal or anything though.

afam4eva:
Please, show me one Yoruba person who bears that name. Just do a google search on that name and tell me if any Yoruba person's name will appear.

tpia@:


olisa is a yoruba chieftancy title, though the guy being discussed might be edo or delta.

"I remember once supervising an operation involving Prince Charles. There was a lot of media interest and the paparazzi were out in droves. We were advised to give the snappers a particular line of sight to the Prince. When Prince Charles approached, one journalist started shouting that he wanted to move closer. I told him it was as near as he was allowed. A bit of an argument ensued before he came out with 'I'm not talking to you any more, get me your supervisor'. I informed him that I was the supervisor. Half of the people around me grinned and the other half cringed

Germannig:

Show an example of Olisa being a Yoruba title
Show an example of an Edo with the name Olisa
