After Chi Onwurah, Member of Parliament for Newcastle Central was notified of President Buhari's Senior Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri Erewa's infamous congratulatory message, the Labour Party Politician has declared that she is not a Nigerian but British.

Chi Onwurah, made this known during the 2017 Caine Prize for African Literature ceremony held yesterday night in London.

Here's Nigerian journalist and writer, Molara Wood tweet;

Recall that Dabiri Erewa in her congratulatory letter addressed to the Chinyelu Onwurah and 6 other British-Nigerians elected to the UK parliament, claimed that their "electoral victory shows that Nigerians excel anywhere in the world."

Can we now rest.



I don't blame her because if I'm in her shoes i will do same. What's the essence of associating with a Country that boast of oil wealth whose President has become a comic relief when jokes are made after he made London is Permanent home still clinging on to power.

Their cup of coffee

Abike should face Nigerians in diaspora that have not renounced their citizenship because the lady can't associate
With another country since her constituents are British.

her cup of tea.

I love that response, even me am not a Nigeria and I don't want to get associated with Nigeria.
Am an African and a Biafran by birth.

I dont blame her, who wants to be associated with a failed entity?

Even obama did not deny kenya. Who's that fool?

Abike Dabiri right now.

Amazing clarification

- Igbos are indeed doing very well
- This is unacceptable to the SW cabals in APC as they cant accept this

But where is lalasticlala now sef

Im not surprised. The Ibo arrogance has nothing to do with environment, its genetic.

Caseless:
Even obama did not deny kenya.
Who's that fool?

Its the Ibo in her blood. .

Who's that fool?

She's not Nigerian, we expired 2014

It has nothing to do with any arrogance please ..That woman has said the plain truth and you are calling it arrogance..Are you not tired of Nigerian govt trying to always take credit for things they don't have an input in ?..there are 170 million Nigerians wallowing in hopelessness and it's better the govt channels it's goodwill there instead of spreading it where it's not needed

Caseless:

She don't want to be a 5% according to your London vegetable.


She is still Igbo but not a Nigerian again

MayorofLagos:
Im not surprised. The Ibo arrogance has nothing to do with environment, its genetic.

How many Nigerians are truly proud of their country?

I'm surprised you attacked Igbos again since you stopped attacking Osibanjo clothes.


Wisdom fall on you

Nigerian government sent congratulatory message to a Chief of Police in NY (or NJ, I cant recall). A lady also of Nigerian background but American citizen. Her responsibility and patriotism is American, not Nigerian. She received it well and even made it public with pride.

Go and read the story of Dehinde Fernandez, he is passed now. A man that served as diplomat and official for different foreign governments but yet proud of his roots.


So whats the big deal of Onwura being a member of British Parliament? She doesnt need to diss congratulatory message from Nigeria. She is a leader of society and leaders are calculating and tactful in diplomatic relations, not arrogant and dissmisive. C'mon!

It is pure unbridled arrogance

Nothing wrong with her statement if she renounced her citezenship. If she didn't her statement is factually untrue. Maybe she doesn't even have Nigerian passport who knows.

Hahahaha... . Yeye gal!
no mind me sweetie. Im waiting on you to come and feed and nurture my growth.

If she was and resides in Nigeria, would she have attained that position?

Who wants to be associated with a country so rich but wallowing in poverty and suffering from leadership decadence and hedonism against its people whom more than 50% barely live on 1$ a day..

We all have one life, she decided to live her's God willing in one of the best countries, if we have decided to spend ours here either my decision or condition and have failed to get ours right, why associate her with our failed system when obviously she made her choice.
