Queen Nwokoye and Saint Obi are not from Rivers. They are from somewhere in the Southeast. Anambra, I think.


Are you sure Ada Ameh is from Delta? I thought she was from Benue.

Chidi Odiah sounds like an Anioma (Delta) name, even though he was born in PH, Rivers.

not 100% sure of queen, but in an interview Obi once said "I'm an igweocha boy, from rivers", well maybe he was just born here

He was just born in Port Harcourt, just like Odiah. Saint Obi's real name is Obinna Nwafor. Ikwerre people (much less those from the Rebisi axis where 'Igweocha' is located) no dey answer Nwafor.
