Nigerian-american Star Jidenna Recieves Heavy Backlash On Social Media [PHOTOS] by Nobody: 3:37am On Jul 11, 2015
In a recent interview held by VLAD TV (an American of celebrity interviews and urban news channel.) with Jidenna Theodore Mobisson, known as Jidenna, is an American musical artist and performer. Who was born to an American Mother and a Father of Igbo Nigerian heritage.
During this interview he said some really condescending and raunchy statements about Nigeria, particularly about the Ibos. His statements have received a huge backlash from social media. Many of his fans expressed utter disappointment about his perception of Nigeria and his twisted belief. He said during his interview that "Light-Skinned Igbos (Half Cast) are targets for kidnappers in Nigeria". He also went on to say that he brought AK-47 riffles and hired military commandos for security when he came to Nigeria for his Fathers funeral.

You people choose to be destructively tribalistic in unfruitful discussions like this, but when it is time to harness tribalism for good - secession and regional autonomy. You will start screaming "one Nigeria" like a broken record.
Though we are divided, the norm as west Africans is to fight against foreign insults together, these foreigners can't tell SE from SW, Nigeria from Ghana.
