Wow is this guy Igbo? This is greater than all yorubas put together

He is not Igbo.

Check his profile on wiki. Both his parent 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.

The person that included his name is just a liar. He also included Daniel Lebern Glover as Igbo too LOL!

Cool

Nice

This is Chamillionaire with one Grammy Award.

His real name is Hakeem Seriki.

This is the official Website to that:

Thief.
Chamilionaire is Edo not Yoruba. Get your facts right and stop lying because we are not interested in catching you.

Liar!

His dad is from Oyo state you thief!

After his parents, a Muslim father from Oyo State, Nigeria and a Christian mother from the United States, separated in his early teenage years, Chamillionaire settled into a notoriously dangerous inner-city neighborhood in North Houston called Acres Homes, which he elaborated upon during an interview with Houston's 104.9 KPTY on October 3.

Don't mind yorubas they think we are their mates. Imagine only you giving it go them hot, what if other Igbos gather here to unleash the Igbo stars they know.. Imagine how the whole Yoruba race from their Oba down gathered here to taunt Igbos , it shows their level of fear and insecurity towards the greatness of the Igbo race. If we start sports and athletics they'd disappear. It's not my Anthony Joshua and Israel Adesanya

Cyril Ikechukwu Nri is a Nigerian British actor, writer and director who is best known for playing Superintendent Adam Okaro in the police TV series The Bill.

Mind you most of these guys were not included in my list

LOL!

Yoruba are unveiling people in the Grammy state with over 8 A-List artist with 20 Grammy while your village boy is listing artists that can't even lace Wizkid and Davido's shoe lace lol!

You guys should be contesting with the minority tribes and not the superior Yorubas!

No wonder everybody migrates to LAGOS for talent showcasing.

Omoluabi are the best when it comes to entertainment.

Cos Lagos is a place for talent showcasing and not a Yoruba Land.

After all said and done the current best hiphop album in Grammy belongs to an Igbo descendant Tyler Okonma. I've gone through the comments and seen the target of the thread which is to compare Yoruba with Igbo which I always find interesting and encouraging because we've never taken up arms against each other but compete in positivity. I've always believed a country comprising only Igbo and Yoruba will be the best even without oil.

Ritchiee:


You are funny.Igbos are Yorubas little siblings.No bad blood.

It seems your late mother did not teach you how to respect elders before she passed. Igbos that became everything you think you are before you.. President, military head, senate President.. Etc all before you. Igbos that went to war with all tribes in Nigeria including you for 3 solid years is now your little siblings.. Wonders shall never end on this Nairaland. You can never be greater than Igbos no matter how hard you try to launder your image on social media, we own you..

Adetomiwa Edun.

I love this guy in Merlin. He played the role of a Knight.

The only reason that there has been calm is because there is no substance enough with which to match or counter the feats stated in these thread.

It is an open secret that Yorubas never bothered about what Igbos were upto for long, but Igbos on the other hand seize every opportunity to denigrate and work against the interest of Yorubas as a rule.

So over time Yorubas are learning to fight back, and hard, especially as Igbos have shown repeatedly that they will always be against Yorubas.

I mean Igbo celebrities and elites even allege “Yoruba rigging” anytime Yorubas get awards or acclaims whether locally or internationally. Yorubas must have been rigging globally since ancestry judging by these many Grammy awards.

You may wish to pretend but the veil is off and more Yorubas are being sensitized daily by posts from Igbos.

If in doubt, go ahead and check how much energy Igbos expend on SW issues and politicians like Tinubu, Osinbajo etc (not that Yorubas even support those ones completely) who are presumed to be pro SW and juxtapose that against Yorubas bothering about SE issues and politicians. That would be like 98% Igbo attacks to 2% Yoruba attacks if any.

The easiest way for an Igbo person to rally support of his people is to denigrate the Yorubas extensively; boom he becomes the spokesperson of his people (e.g Kanu, Achebe etc).

But for a Yoruba to rally support of his people, he has to demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of the problems and equally balance his arguments laying the shortcomings of each party appropriately; only then will he be taken seriously and not without caution.

Please research all that has been stated here, and counter with facts. Shalom!

see how peaceful this thread is,,

nobody is here shouting "chestbeating"

Who the bleep is Psquare when you are talking about Wizkid and Davido? How many international award have Psquare gotten?

Hahahah comedian. Who the bleep is Flavor and what is his ranking in Nigerian Music Industry?

Are you trying to contest it that Yoruba outperform any Nigerian tribe in the music Industry?

Johnandv:


That's fake you thief.

Chamillionaire is from Edo state.

Thied so his father is named Seriki? From Edo State?

You deserve to be nailed to the cross for this blatant lie.

His dad is Yoruba with name Seriki from Oyo state!

Tb Joshua alone accounted for 60℅ of foreign tourists in the country in 2018.

Tb joshua Emmanuel TV is the most viewed christian channel on you tube.

The Zimbabwean parliament once debated to emulate Joshua in terms of tourism development in Zimbabwe

After his highly successful crusades in the Americas, from Colombia , Peru, mexico etc
the former mayor of baraquilla ( Colombia fourth largest city ) came to give Joshua the keys to the city after his crusade changed the fortune of the city tremendously.
....... The mere fact that yorubas do not shout does not give a group that started wearing clothes less than two centuries ago the audacity to look yorubas in the face in terms of achievement.

On YouTube most viewed, when you minus number 5, tell me which tribe is leading from 1 to 7

Igbos still dominate on YouTube

So because they have English names with their parents too they are not Igbo?? So what do you have to say about TD Jakes?? He's not Igbo too I guess. When will you people stop measuring up with Igbos on everything. Our greatness comes to us naturally while you have to struggle for everything with so much noise and cheap hype.

One was even showing a street named after a Yoruba in USA hehehehehe.. Chai sorry for una sha. Little thing can shack you people.

Even the defunct Psqaure still slaps Davido and Wizkid subscribers on YouTube chai . Wizkid own is the worst, with all his noisy FC on twitter and all his hype he can't find any headway outside Africa.
