I wonder what gives people the impression that Chuka Umunna is 'Nigerian born'? He isn't. Chuka was born and raised in England to late business mogul Chief Umunna and a British mother. No doubt that he has Igbo heritage but his country of first allegiance in Britain. He has been to Nigeria a few times to meet his extended family but when it comes to his nationality, he is British. These people that are asking why he didn't marry an Igbo girl, why would he do that? Of what benefit is that to him?

Funny thing is that he is still eligible to run for President of Nigeria due to his parental links

Prime Minister of what country? You think Britain is America? The world will end before a black man is "elected" PM.

Thank you very much for the clarification.
Black prime minister in Britain?

Thank you for your line of reasoning. I wonder why people are questioning his choice.

He found love in the hands of a Caucasian and not an African.

I like the diversity of views on this thread. To the ladies going ga-ga about Italian guys, don`t make up your minds until you have visited Sweden and Holland

And to Igbos claiming Chuka, better tell us the circumstances surrounding his father`s death. In a nation of talent killers, the son would have been a nobody if he had not been born abroad.

In British politics, Chuka Umuana is the hottest property in town-bright, posh and presentable. Most importantly, he is a quiet Blairite. People have talked about his odds and I agree with them to some extent. One thing we shouldn`t under-estimate is how America influences what other nations of the world do. The election of Obama is a game changer, in the sense that, other countries would want to wave their diversity credentials-remember how black law-makers started to surface everywhere from Russia to Denmark and beyond. America got her independence from the United Kingdom, so London would like to show sooner or later that, what America can do, London can do better. London has started that with Sadiq Khan as the Mayor of London. Such elections are all about symbolism.
The British Labour Party is a gay-loving, EU promoting, multiculturally inclined party. But what set Tony Blair`s wing of the party apart and at odds with the traditional wing of the party is his addiction to privatization and romance with big business completed with highly sophisticated spin. This contamination of the traditional Labour brand was what won Tony Blair 2 General Elections. People like Chuka Umuana and David Miliband believe that a winning formula should not be changed. But the 2008 economic collapse meant that people that were seen as old Labour started to fight back. Step forward Jeremy Corbyn. If I may use a footballing analogy, Jeremy Corbyn is to the Labour Party what Stoke City is to the Premiership, not going to win the biggest prize but capable of damaging the chances of those that could. The British Left have come to see the economic world order for what it is: a fraud that is making it possible for the rich to become richer and the poor to become poorer; a fraud that means that when bankers collapse the economy, taxes paid by the poor would be used to bail them out; a fraud that means that austerity is being unleashed on the poor globally while billionaires are going untouched
So Jeremy Corbyn is here to stay in one shape or form. Chuka Umuana is the `closest` black to the Downing Street today, but how you interpret that depends on your political philosophy. People like Dianne Abott and David Lammy are senior MPs to Chuka but they are the Jeremy Corbyn type, so not that electable. Then in the Tory, the most promising black there is a milionaire that snatched Boris Johnson`s wife, that alone is a death sentence. So the coast is almost clear for Chuka Umuana. But should his election happen, how is it going to help the black race? The hopelessness of Obama has given us enough clue
Anyway Sadiq Khan versus Chuka Umuana would be a good leadership contest for the Labour Party.

You guys are funny.

Chuka is only Igbo by name. I don't think he understands a word of Igbo language. The only time he came to Nigeria was when the father died. He was born and bred in England.
The late dad was a Nigerian (from Anambra State) and the mom is a Briton. He has never visited Nigeria since the 80s.

How do you expect him to marry into a culture he is not familiar with?

I wonder too.

Thats just it! He's not positioning himself for the forth coming elections. Very possible they might also field a lady for that too to match the possible outcome of the US elections in favor of Hilary Clinton ensuring that the three world powers have their destinies in the hands of ladies for the first time grin World would be peaceful

And where is your prove that having a woman as leader leads to peace? Last I checked not only did Ms. Clinton support the war in Iraq (which is the genesis of the present carnage in the Middle East), she also played a major role in the toppling of the Gadaffi regime - another event that culminated in the present instability in Libya.

Having said that, it'd be nice to have women occupying those positions. But don't get your hopes too high.

Most Nigerians born in the uk hate their origin because of the way Africa is been portrayed. They wil claim any Caribbeans countries as their origin.

Mtcheweee

This is a lie. It may have been true in the past but nowadays most kids of Nigerian origin are very proud of their culture over here.

As for Mr Umunna, it's his dad who should be blamed, not him. His dad married a white women and raised his kids with her in a majority white country. It's vey possible that his grandkids will come out looking like white people and/or knowing very little about Igbo culture. I hope that all these Nigerian men who obsess about white women will see this as a warning, or maybe not. undecided

Even if she ends up marrying an Italian dude, her kids will, according to the Nigerian constitution, be regarded as Nigerian citizens by birth (section 25).

I think that it's because the majority of black people in the UK are now from direct African descent. 20 years ago, that was not the case as 'black British culture', if there's such a thing, was dominated by the Caribbeans but since they've almost bred themselves to extinction, it's the Africans that are dominating. Many black men, and women, are waking up to see the real plans of these white British people: to integrate us so much that we lose all sense of our cultural pride and heritage. No matter what anyone says, a mixed race person of partial Igbo heritage can never be as Igbo as a full blooded Igbo, for example. Those that haven't caught unto this yet are lost, I'm afraid. undecided
