Are you this shameless grin

So Davido is also an igbo because he was given an honorary title in igbo land not so long ago.

Glover was given a tittle which is friends of igbo because he followed whitaker to igbo land

Bring out any information that supports your assertion.

There should be a competition of supremacy between the east and the west to determine the alpha sophisticated tribe in Nigeria. The toe to toe results between the two is something else. I love the both anyway. We should both exit Nigeria to form a country. I have no doubt it will be the best country in the world.

Chimere is an abbreviated form of Chimereze which could be loosely translated to mean ..

Chi - God / Guardian angel (or spirit)

Mere - did / create / made

Eze - King / Leader..

Chimera is short form of Chimereze just like Nkechi is short form Nkechinyere, Emeka is short form of Chukwuemeka or Nnaemeka, Ifeanyi or Iheanyi short form of Ifeanyichukwu/Iheanyichukwu.

Lol when the Yorubas did theirs, they included A-list Artists that has up to 20 Grammies while the Igbos went on to choose Artists that are not even up to Wizkid level.

Now Igbos are including African Americans that trace their ancestry DNA as Igbos. The likes of TD JAkes, Daniel Glover, Forest Whitaker and etc.

Even Oprah Winfrey traced her DNA to Liberia, Cameroon, and Zambia.

TD JAkes Parents Odith, and Ernest Sr. are African American and he traced his DNA ancestry to both Hausa and Igbo.

Daniel Glover and Forest Whitaker are not Igbos. You have finished grabbing the SS, now it's African American right?

Check their profile on wiki. Both their parents are African American!

Forest Steven Whitaker was born on July 15, 1961, in Longview, Texas, the son of Laura Francis (née Smith), a special education teacher who put herself through college and earned two master's degrees while raising her children, and Forest E. Whitaker Jr., an insurance salesman.

Shut up Liar. Neyo traced his DNA to Africa. He is of European and Africa DNA and nowhere was it mentioned that he is Igbo.

Neyo Parent names are Lorraine and Shaffer Smith. Both African American!


Both of his parents are African American!

Exactly How Oprah Winfrey claimed African DNA when she said she is Cameroon and Liberian in her DNA.

Lil Wayne Claim Nigerian Ancestry DNA too

TD Jakes claim Hausa and Igbo DNA ancestry.
