Nonaira1:

She's NOT NIGERIAN.

Listen to her say it again SHE IS NOT NIGERRIAN

hitman2911:
The reality is that Chi Onwurah is a British politician but cannot erase the fact that her father is a Nigerian and she lived for some years in Awka before relocating to UK.
She also worked at a time in Nigeria. It is her choice not to relate with Nigeria possibly in order not to jeopadise her chances as a labour shadow minister. Many British-Nigerians have openly identified themselves with Nigeria but politics is a different ball game.
Whatever the case, the British media would remind her of her Nigerian background when she is in trouble with them.

chiddyj:
abg browse the lady in question b4 making utterances where one statement is opposing the other! she,chi onwurah, was born in Newcastle! spent 2yrs in nigeria as a toddler and returned to newcastle because of the civil war! nd has never been back since! if na u as u get sense reach, which 1 she go be? brit, dual citizen or nigerian with green passport!?

Mob killings has sure become entertainment like the gladiators dying to entertain crude ancient Roman societies. People applaud and cheer online......Nigeria is a nation of savages and barbarians.

Chukazu:
always rushing(like Russians) to claim people who don't give a dam about been Nigerian
Those real Nigerians who are dying in their droves over Sahara desert, dying on top Mediterranean trying going to Italy, nobody claiming them?

c733d:
I am not Nigerian.......don't have Togolese,Ghanaian, British or American citizenship yet........so technically,I'm an earthling.

laudate:
If an Igbo woman cannot get that, then it is the fault of her constituency, or the flaws in her campaign that caused it. Women from other ethnic groups have been voted into office, over and over.

Dedetwo:
Only pitiful drunk in her shoes will accept being tagged as Nigerian. Many Nigerian diasporas find it as an insult when referred as Nigerians.

4everGrand:
But when AJ became a world champ recently, even these things making noise here said he is a Nigerian.

You see, I am beginning to think foolish pride runs in the gene of these guys.

Even Obama did not deny his roots.

But how are we sure the lady made that statement tho?

lovelygurl:
I told you guys

But nahhh instead people were like blablabla they are Nigerian blablabla as if Nigeria ever did sth for them mtcheeeeeew

Nonaira1:
Did she deny her roots and color?

Did she deny being igbo or black?

There's multiple igbos, including ones in Nigeria, have repeatedly stated WE ARE NOT NIGERIANS. Your government just refuses to listen to us and give us a damn referendum like we've asked.

Nnamdi Kanu sef have stated repeatedly that he's British igbo, not Niggerian. During his trial, hetc continously stated that he's British, not Niggerian. His wife equally stated the same thing and several more as well. So what's different from what chi said.

cjrane:
EXACTLY!

If she were in Nigeria and answering "Onwurah" would Fulani ever let her get near anything useful in Nigeria?

The same Nigeria that oppress her people citizenship rights will always try to use you and launder it's dirty reputation through your hardwork.

People should start saying openly they are not from the zoo.

NubiLove:
Nationality = British
Ethnicity = Igbo (NIGERIAN)

Therefore we the Nigerians claim her!

ivolt:
Obama didn't deny that his father was kenyan.
But he personally never claimed to be a kenyan.

winterfell007:
I'm igbo I pride myself as a Nigerian anytime anyday.

ameri9ja:
She said the simple truth. But as a 9ja u r so used to lies and corruption. Don't call her 9ja that's wrong. Say she is of 9ja heritage

Abagworo:
So she's better than Akon. She loses respect once she denies her root and color.

GenBuhari:
If doubt Osinbajo and NAss leadership are secretly in the same imperialist controlled cabal, tell me one decision Osinbajo has taken that NAss has opposed?

sean1000x:
Afonjas...are you hearing this? Afonjas need to visit Akwa-Cross, to have sense.

DieBuhari:
Ohaneze ndi Aturu

Can a Cross River guy really say that?
His accent sounds like one though
