She is a Nigerian woman to the outside world. It’s our youths here in Nigeria that are playing division and tribal game.

Thunderfayamods:
Ok maybe the headline is supposed to read "first female black African " the one you posted is "African American " Thanks for your understanding, the people who are actually jealous and always insulting. Meanwhile ewedu is food! Yorubas don't eat ACHARA (ELEPHANT GRASS)

kedeojo:
The Yorubas are truly the pacesetters and epitome of education. Anybody or tribe who argue the obvious has mental problems. Yorubas has given Nigeria good names abroad than the combination of other tribes together. Am from Edo state and research has proven that. Awolowo is truly an enigma. A foresighted Nigerian. The best president Nigeria didn't have. Those who betrayed him will continue to be miserable.

Absuchat:
Alright remind me when you're of age and have mature in your reasoning. Have a good day kid

Irony1:
Is there white African?

porthouse7:

Thunderfayamods:
I never knew that Toyota Tofade is now a Benue name. Thanks for sharing....😂😂😂😂

Iceberg3:

See this mental 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Electorate:
Watch how Tribal bigots will turn this thread into a tribal Olympics medal competition, She is recognized by her American employers as NIGERIAN but when the news get to Nigerian media some illiterates even the educated ones amongst them will begin shouting Omoluabi or Igbo Amaka like people suffering from dementia...sometime they behave as if Nigeria a country with 371 tribes has just Igbo and yoruba living in the country, This is pure daftness taken to a new high level.

BTW, seun should please introduce a ban or block button on nairaland, there are some people I don't want to ever come across their rubbish and senseless comments on this forum, their comment disgust me,Infact, when I read their comment after scrolling up it feels like I want to throw up, I quickly close the thread and open a new one. I am sure most nairaland feel the same way.

The mods and seun know this people, they virtually live on nairaland (I don't know if seun is paying them to sleep on nairaland). I can only remember three names now, one is helinues, another one is paraman and one yarimo....these guys are so disgusting with their comments...they make nairaland boring and lacking in intelligent engagement. Their presence derail engaging comments.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
She's beautiful.
