I Am Not Nigerian; I Am British- Chi Onwurah After Told Of Buhari's Aide Message by chimebube: 4:19pm On Jul 04, 2017 |
After Chi Onwurah, Member of Parliament for Newcastle Central was notified of President Buhari's Senior Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri Erewa's infamous congratulatory message, the Labour Party Politician has declared that she is not a Nigerian but British. Chi Onwurah, made this known during the 2017 Caine Prize for African Literature ceremony held yesterday night in London. Here's Nigerian journalist and writer, Molara Wood tweet; Recall that Dabiri Erewa in her congratulatory letter addressed to the Chinyelu Onwurah and 6 other British-Nigerians elected to the UK parliament, claimed that their "electoral victory shows that Nigerians excel anywhere in the world." http://www.lailasblog.com/2017/07/im-not-nigerian-im-british-chi-onwurah-mp.html 15 Likes 3 Shares

Can we now rest. I don't blame her because if I'm in her shoes i will do same. What's the essence of associating with a Country that boast of oil wealth whose President has become a comic relief when jokes are made after he made London is Permanent home still clinging on to power. 345 Likes 32 Shares |

EXACTLY! If she were in Nigeria and answering "Onwurah" would Fulani ever let her get near anything useful in Nigeria? The same Nigeria that oppress her people citizenship rights will always try to use you and launder it's dirty reputation through your hardwork. People should start saying openly they are not from the zoo. 467 Likes 39 Shares |

SalamRushdie: Nigerian government sent congratulatory message to a Chief of Police in NY (or NJ, I cant recall). A lady also of Nigerian background but American citizen. Her responsibility and patriotism is American, not Nigerian. She received it well and even made it public with pride. Go and read the story of Dehinde Fernandez, he is passed now. A man that served as diplomat and official for different foreign governments but yet proud of his roots. So whats the big deal of Onwura being a member of British Parliament? She doesnt need to diss congratulatory message from Nigeria. She is a leader of society and leaders are calculating and tactful in diplomatic relations, not arrogant and dissmisive.

Nothing wrong with her statement if she renounced her citezenship. If she didn't her statement is factually untrue. Maybe she doesn't even have Nigerian passport who knows. 26 Likes 1 Share |

If she was and resides in Nigeria, would she have attained that position? Who wants to be associated with a country so rich but wallowing in poverty and suffering from leadership decadence and hedonism against its people whom more than 50% barely live on 1$ a day.. We all have one life, she decided to live her's God willing in one of the best countries, if we have decided to spend ours here either my decision or condition and have failed to get ours right, why associate her with our failed system when obviously she made her choice. 74 Likes 3 Shares |
