Afonjas are bloody hypocrites

When two yorubas killed a British soldier in broad day light the same yorubas denied the two Yoruba jihadist as Nigerian and even Yoruba.

When Khadija Dare was unveiled as a yoruba the same yorubas denied her and said she was British

Now this Igbo woman denies being Nigerian and the same afonja bastards come for her head.

in reality, the child is a nigerian through ancestral links , but an american by birth or by provisions of the host country laws.
Have you forgotten that we have black americans who found themsleves via slavery on the other side still claiming to be africans(some nigerians)?
That is my point.
Anyone with or without ancestral links can claim Nigerian, but it should be their choice to do that
not Nigerians forcing citizenship on them just because they came to limelight.

It is not in our place to dictate the nationality of non-Nigerians.

How many Nigerians are truly proud of their country?

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

That's the simple but sad truth.. this forced marriage is really not yielding results. Why can't the NASS insert a clause in the constitution that'll allow for self-determination and referendum. Rather they'll continue fighting for their pockets and look on as the country gradually descends into lawlessness and anarchy.

The truth still remains that she's British and Nigerian too whether she said no to being a Nigerian or not. Nigeria will rise above all the criticism and fruitless agitations, name counties that have not in the past experienced the same if not more worse problems in this countryhuh but when instead of everyone to understand that and strive to make Nigeria greater. They choose to take a shine off it's glory...well mark my word, soonest she will b made to repeat that word
from african point of view only one country has gone down that road (where your country is heading) and came out stronger....and thats rwanda....the rest have been disastrous to say the least....look at somalia ,southsudan,chad,CAF,....all of them have nothing positive to show.Kids should be sad when they see a body being burnt ,but i can actually see them smiling..meaning its a norm...

Who would be proud of this country?? what is killing this country is quota system, the lazy ones are rewarded more than the dilligent, the ignorant leading the enlightened, no fairplay whatsoever, in some regions the standard is so low to favour them while in some regions the standard is so high(in the se, ss and sw the cut-off for admission is high but in the north ppl are being begged to go to school, yet one nigeria), regions with highest illiteracy rate are the same regions with highest employment rate, northerners controlling oilwells in the SS, oil company platforms in the SS but their headquarters in the SW, someone becomes a president without presenting his sec. School certificate even wen it is clearly written in the constitution, just because he is from a particular region... what such a country is encouraging is backwardness, no successful country does things that way, this is a failed system, the experiment is not working and u want her to accept here as her country?

Are the likes of stella oduah, uche ekwunife, Nnenna-Ukeje not in the parliament? Is your brain paining you?
You are the one that is mentally derailed. The question you should yourself is wether the lady in question is a British or not. Also why is your APC govt always jump into a moving train?
Those people you mentioned never tag the lady as a Nigerian.
Your Abike is looking for cheap popularity. Political prostitute.

When someone is beclouded with hatred, he/she wouldn't mind blaming the creator whenever the sun shines. What sort of stupid question are you asking me whether someone is British or not, does chinyelu sound British by ancestry? and again must someone be an APC member for sharing an opinion contrary to yours? i pity your drowning soul. You seriously need to undergo LOBOTOMY.

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.
Igbo heritage is a subset of 9ja heritage. As she rightly said, she is British (of 9ja or igbo heritage)

Your head dey there.

Most of the respondents on this thread can hardly hold a consistent view to save their lives.
They are wired up to blow with any prevailing wind grin

So how else should Chi Onwurah have described herself?
Isn't it enough that she is actually doing some real work to advance trade with the country of her father's birth?

I am delighted that Abike, the President of Nigeria’s special adviser for Diaspora, has accepted my invitation to come to Newcastle to meet with members of the Nigerian diaspora here, Universities and wider business networks in the North East.

“ This will be an opportunity for those of Nigerian heritage to raise issues with Abike and for her to hear about the contribution they are making to our region. It is also the opportunity for universities and businesses to develop high level links with Nigeria, the largest country in Africa with around 173 million people and a growing economy.

“ My father came to Newcastle from Nigeria to study in the fifties, so I am very aware of the strong links between the North East and Nigeria. On my recent trade mission there I was told they want to see more British trade and investment and the North East diaspora can make a great contribution to that"

Now would some of the opinionated twats on this thread show us how much of a contribution they've made to Nigeria's development in recent years? Go on, I am waiting angry

Please Igbo is distinguished from Niegria. They are not the samething.

Wen u request ethnic group of a Nigerian, u are making a distinction from the general collective.

She said, she is not Nigerian.

Do u know what "subset" means? Who said Igbo and 9ja are the same thing? As she rightly said she is British but of 9ja or more specifically Igbo heritage.

Oh I see what the problem is, u r confusing being Nigerian with being of Nigerian heritage. The former refers to your nationality, the later refers to your ancestry. You get it now?
