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.

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

She has a right to determine her nationality and she has chosen Britain.

However, she remains ethnic Igbo.

MayorofLagos:
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!

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

Her heritage is Igbo.

Chi Onwurah is an Igbo name and Igbo word.

Igbo is the only ethnic group she has, unless she is mix maybe Irish or Scottish.

Nationality changes but ethnicity remains the same.

Why should she claim Nigeria?

She is considered 5% and her people are blamed for everything.

I bet she would claim Biafran if given a chance.

No Igbo wants to be associated with Nigeria.

I blame bloggers for appropriating the achievement of non-Nigerian citizens.
Sadly, many Nairalanders were also gloating over a success they were not a part.

It takes a crooked,unproductive,greedy,and selfish mind to be a true nigerian in public service. She is a british born and bred that thinks rationally. Her interest in politics is not to decimate the public coffers,but to see how she can contribute to the betterment of her community and uk society in general.

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.

You will agree with me unequivocally that Igbos are the bane of themselves, won't you?.
This was the same Abike Dabiri who was far more vocal during the xenophobic attacks largely targeted against a great population of Igbos in SA, sending shivers down the spines of the SA's govt through strong worded warnings regardless of the docility & sheer incompetence of Geofferey Onyeama.
And now the same woman and the government she represents have turned an object of ridicule. .

Please, No one should cry for the Igbos, No one.

Nigerians and their brains.... Lord have mercy. The action of a woman now translate to the action of more than 18 million people. Nna'eh. You guys are the pure definition of robotic racist faculty. Racism at its peak. cry
