They are not Nigerians. The day they dare say they are Nigerians they will have issues in the UK. They are of Nigerian/Igbo origin but they will gladly tell you they are not Nigerians

Here's something Nigeria can never hold understand or produce.... Political Theorists..
What? Politics is more than calling other men your father and yourself their boy?



John Uzo Ogbu (May 9, 1939 – 20 August 2003) was a Nigerian-American anthropologist and professor known for his theories on observed phenomena involving race and intelligence, especially how race and ethnic differences played out in educational and economic achievement. He suggested that being a "caste-like minority" affects motivation and achievement, depressing IQ scores. He also concluded that some students did poorly because high achievement was considered "acting white" among their peers. Ogbu was also involved in the 1996 controversy surrounding the use of African American Vernacular English in public schools in Oakland, California. The 2000 book Eminent Educators: Studies in Intellectual Influence focused on him as one of "four intellectual giants of the 20th century."
