Tobechukwu ‘Tobi’ Phillips That's her real name as written. The Tobi is a pet name for Tobechukwu. She is definitely Igbotic https://espact.com/nigerias-tobechukwu-tobi-phillips-becomes-first-black-valedictorian-in-schools-125-year-history/ 6 Likes |

gbosaa: Not just because of someone shouting Igbo Amaka, but because some low esteem igbos without any further information whatsoever is using a totally irrelevant issue to claim igbo supremacy. The girl in question was maybe born to a Nigerian parent ( probably her mother, and hence a foreign family name). She might even not be a Nigerian and the story might just be journalistic rascality. Omarosa Manigault and Yetunde Williams had been assigned Nigerian before. This is a little girl born in the US, given opportunity to excel by Americans. But when it comes to claiming glory, the usual suspects starts to scream igbo Amaka. Let me add, that if Obama's name had any thing chukwu attached, ewoo, we no go hear word again from the Igbo Amakaists. The igbos would have been the most superior race in the history of the universe. But we did not hear kpim from his Luo ethnic tribe in Kenya. 4 Likes |
