Lifestone:
Where is the locations of the picture used for Nigeria. I am aware of that old picture of city gate in Abuja but not the other one.

That is Lagos.

Praxtech:
By what criteria?

By state criteria . He is from Abia State

shigishege:
you are a confirmed werey if not you won't be telling me to go and be searching for film's your people acted while your mate posted a very simple and analysed post showing Yoruba actors with the movies they acted. Your own imaginary actors don't have designation or movies?? It's like Mkpuru Mmirin is disturbing your dotted flattened head abi??

I am not jobless like the person who opened the thread; I barely even have time to reply you so....Imagine me going online to copy and paste the list of movies people who don't give me money acted. You think everyone is thoughtless?? If you can't use your Google, then don't disturb me. BTW, no Nigerian male in Hollywood is as influential as Chiwetel Ejiofor and no Nigerian female as Carmen Ejogo, so if you don't know them then we shouldn't even be having this conversation.

shigishege:
Why not TRACE. She was in FAKE not Originals.

Stop crying . Tracy Ifeachor was in the originals, and I'm sure you don't know because she is Igbo

shigishege:
So no single title of film they acted, the best you can do is to go and list a random names for us right?? And I now that because someone talked about Yoruba good people now, that has given you guys unnecessary homeworks, no rest for you again, your next assignments now is to go and be searching internet like a mad man looking for Igbo next rated actors without one movie title.

Stop being too jealous whenever other tribes are metioned doing good. No one said your tribe men don't live overseas, everyone has one or two things doing over there. Every tribe is good. Hausa/Fulani has good people over there, Ijaw, Itshekiri, Benin, Calabas, Benue, Akwa Iboms, Yorubas, Igbos etc, Nigeria is doing good. But the problem of superiority mindsets is very synonymous to you guys trying to claim or prove it's only your igbo tribe that's good in everything.
You can do better by just reading, applauding without bringing your people into it but you won't. SMH

You are the biggest clown on planet Earth! It's your type that not only fails examination repeatedly but fail with answers given. Can't you see that I'm replying someone who said that Igbos have no Hollywood actors? Or were you blind when someone used this platform to degrade Igbos?? And you want the movies they acted? Then Google it! Most of them are very popular and big actors and actresses known all over the UK and US Entertainment industry, so if you follow those industries you should know them merely by looking at their names. Yes, all Nigerian tribes are represented in the United States, but some are overrepresented! So you can go and cry elsewhere.

shigishege:
that means it's only three people you guys get, so why are you lying before

If you actually believe that the Igbo tribe with one of the largest African presence in the United States will have only three Hollywood actors, then you need a medical checkup. This list is just the one I know; there are still maaany Igbos in Hollywood....Anything that is domiciled in the United States, expect to see Igbos en masse.

I am not Igbo, but this is the most ignorant comment I've seen in years. Are you even aware that there are over 50 Igbos in hollywood?

Fulani woman from Senegal.... :

IjobaofAjegunle:
First to comment....

Where is my award??

But Ajegunle is blessed sha o..

No other community in Nigeria has produced talents of national recognition in music, sports and theatre like Ajegunle.

I see almost 10 ex super eagles international on that list.

Kilode? The place is blessed abeg.

One bottle of stout for the OP

Then you don't know what you are saying. Generally, Ajegunle has produced a lot of talents. However, in football, I know of two other places that have produced more Footballers.

TheEnygma:
Who else has noticed that similarities between him and Azikiwe are just too much.

-Both come from West African countries.
-Both were born in the early 1900's
-Both fought and struggled hard to liberate their countries' from the British.
-Both became the leaders of their respective countries.
- Both got removed from power by coup.

I could go on and on.

And don't forget they both attended Lincoln University and University of Pennsylvania in USA

Eve Ajagba

We move tho.

TooNoisy:
Efe Ajagba has done well and will rise again. He still has a great boxing career ahead of him.

Isn’t it funny how the same people were laughing at AJ when he lost his first and second fights? I guess the only difference is that AJ is Yoruba so the Igbos have to hate him.

Whether you hate AJ or not, he is a two time World Heavyweight Champion holding four belts simultaneously. He is also an Olympic Gold medalist and not Igbo man will ever achieve that record!!! Continue hating for all I care!

People like you are a disgrace to humanity. A post about Efe Ajagba loosing and you are already bringing tribalism into it? What is the relationship between this post and tribalism?? What?? And mind you, the Nigerian with the best World Heavyweight record is Ike Ibeabuchi, an Igbo, dude recorded 20 wins in 20 fights.

Mstravelindiva:
No , I’m happily married to an amazing Igbo man!

You are 100% Nigerian now!

Mstravelindiva:
Actually, according to my DNA test, I’m 42% Nigerian.

Wooow . BUT did your DNA Test reveal your possible Nigerian ethnicities?

TimeTraveller:
Look at this one. Ohaneze ndi Igbo of Lagos? How laughable! Did Abia chase out Imo indigenes from their State's civil service or not? Same Igbos o! Neighbors o! Taaaaa gbafuo!

That's none of my business! Being Ohaneze Ndi Igbo of Lagos or Ohaneze Ndi Igbo women leader was supposed to attract the Delta Igbo clause based on your theory, but you see how it went!

TimeTraveller:
Someone says she is "the most powerful Igbo woman alive."

If she wants to run for President now, they will remind her that she is Delta Igbo. They will say she's not Igbo enough.

Ndi ara.

BUT how come she takes Abia State ministerial slot, and no one cries? Isn't Abia an Igbo state? Some of you just come online to cry and say thrash! When Pat Utomi from Anioma in Delta State was the leader of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo in Lagos, did anyone remind him he was "Delta Igbo?" What of Regina Daniels mum from Anioma in Delta State, who became leader of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo women in Nigeria, did anyone deny her the post because she is Delta Igbo?

Sometimes it's better to keep mute in matters you know nothing of!

Visman:
She is from Delta state oga

Is Delta State an ethnic group? Some of you make me so ashamed to share same digital space with you. When did a heterogenous state become someone's ethnic identity? Can I then say I'm Rivers by tribe because I'm from Rivers, forgetting my Ikwerre heritage? If you are still doubting Ngozi's ethnicity, read her book, she stated she is IGBO clearly; she also did same on BBC Igbo. Moreover, she is married to my mum's place in Umuahia, Abia State, meaning she is now fully Abian. Just like my mum who was Abian is fully from Rivers because she is married to my dad from Rivers. This is the same reason Ngozi takes Abia State ministerial slot!

Abia State has really produced good footballers, from Kanu Nwankwo, to Ikechukwu Uche to this guy to Samuel Chukwueze,etc, and to think it's also the home of Enyimba, Nigeria's most successful football club! That state is really doing well in football aspect, I'm proud of my mum state

Hangmnk:
Yoruba boy and Muslim guy making it without trafficking drugs. For all those lowlife child factory products telling me he is not Yoruba. Y'all Simians descendants call all northerners Hausa. I only know three tribes in the South the Yorubas, ijaws and the arrogant chimpanzees. Awon developers

Burna Boy is Ekpeye from Rivers State, that he sings in Yoruba doesn't make him Yoruba. Moreover, the fact that even though you know this, you chose to limit the tribes in the South to two, shows how arrogant you yourself are!

Tmb78:
Ogbeni,somebody added the last part for you abi?
You couldn't have,considering the fact that you have made it your life mission to disparage yorubas on this same forum.

I have never attacked Yorubas knowingly, I just had to defend my mum's people. My mum is Igbo from Abia State, but I'm Ikwerre!

streetsoldier1:
ode... out of the 10 how many igbos there, and the igbos there are obviously schooled in yoruba land. If you have brain left in you, you should know that academic brilliance revolves around southwest

Man, I'm not Igbo, but I've got to say something! What matters is the person who came first, the rest are just there so they wouldn't be disregarded of their hardwork. However, I've noticed a trend, for the last three years, the best in JAMB have all been Igbos. This year, it's Chibuike, last year, it was Egoagwuagwu Maduafokwa, in 2019, it was Ekene Ezeunala.
Give accolades when due, Igbos are really doing well! So are Yorubas!

Anambra is Edo +Igala +Igbo.
Don't claim EVERYTHING.

That's your business man! Go there and tell them

Terrence99:
Why then is it that when Anioma people get appointments or something good, you find Igbos disparaging them for not being Igbo enough?
Imagine the rubbish Igbos were saying when Emefiele, Irabor, Kachikwu and Co got appointments.

That's how some Igbos behave. If Igbos can disparage themselves within the South East, then how much more doing so against Igboid communities outside the South East?
Moreover, let's not forget that Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is also Anioma, but I haven't seen any Igbo person seggregate her, same with Okocha.

Terrence99:
Is Ojo Madueke a Yoruba man?
Ojo is a Yoruba name.
Is Rotimi Amaechi a Yoruba man? Rotimi is a Yoruba name.

Stop the attache by force and face your state.

Your theory makes no sense. Name is of no way of measuring someone's ethnicity, rather their culture and history.
We Ikwerres have a lot of culture similarities with people from Southern Igbo land(Abia and Imo states), but why we don't regard ourselves as Igbo is due to our history. The same can't be said of Aniomas, they are both Igbos by culture and history. I find it hard to differentiate an Anioma man from an Anambra man, that's to show you the similarities.
Moreover, that name "Ojo" is a name native to people of Eastern Abia State, the pronounciation is different from the Yoruba "Ojo."
Amaechi's Rotimi is an adopted name. "Amaechi" is his real name because it's an Ikwerre name.
We should all know our history in this country.

Newton85:
So, all Barbadians are of Igbo descent? Moreover, Rihanna is also a mixed breed. She has European (Irish) ancestors.

I never said that, read what I wrote. The same way not all Afro-Brazilians are Yorubas or Kongos is the same way not all Barbadians are Igbos.

If the same pressure we mount on federal government is applied to state governors, Nigeria will be better.

What concerns BBC Yoruba with Rivers State? The earlier you Yorubas mind your business, the better! Very foolish set of myopic fools.

Monogamy:
Then Neymar is a Yoruba guy

Until he says so. Not all Brazilians are of Yoruba or Kongo descent. Moreover, Neymar is mixed breed, he has European ancestors.

Monogamy:
Hahahah..

Why are this people like this?

Rihanna's mum is from Barbados.. How is Barbados related to Igbo.

Btw, why not show us Rihanna's tweets

Inferiority complex na real bad disorder aswear

How does Brazil relate to Yoruba, that is the same way Barbrados relates to Igbo. Sometimes, I wonder why we were never taught about the Atlantic slave trade at school, some of you think Igbo, Yoruba, Ibibio, and many other coastal or semi-coastal tribes in Nigeria starts and ends here. Go and research bro and stop disgracing yourself

PrinceOfLagos:
Rihanna is from Barbados

So this is fake news

Barbrados had a lot of influx of slaves from the Igbo and Ibibio homelands, so it's possible

franciskaine:
poor in everything. Aside business, whr are the jobs in Anambra State?

This guy, you are a staunch olodo. Though I'm not from Anambra, my question is, have you been to Anambra? Because it looks obviously not! And did you attend economics classes because you sound foolish.
