Linda,
It's amazing how in your previous post about these guys yesterday, people were falling over themselves with comments telling us that these guys are British.
Meanwhile, take a typical Emeka Okoye (made up name) born and bred in Lagos and speaks fluent Yoruba. Same people who are saying Chuka Umunna is British will tell Emeka Okoye to "go back to Onitsha".
Haba?????!!!!!
In Nigeria when will it be the turn of the young bright minds to rule
Ndi IGBO kwenu yaaaaahhhhh

Igbo people with their inferiority complex will flood the thread and take the opportunity to throw insults around and display their lack of home training. Those people that won are as British as the day is bright, dem send igbo?
Igbos we are just too much hence the bitterness from these low lives, Kayode Salako the useless fish brain with his gorilla shaped wife hope you are seeing this
Can dose fools dat talking bad on d igbos for drugs, shuld dey also praise d igbos now ?
Am so happy to b a Nigerian. Congrats!
Congrats bro and sis, may God give you all wisdom to make a mark in your representations.

Did dey notice that they are igbos mostly? if foreigners can trust an igbo to rep them, whats wrong with us here? And does oba akiolu's media personnel knw abt this? (STUPID MAN)
Stupid people!! Why not give examples of other tribes that got elected into political offices in the East! Igbos are specialist in taking other people's own and adding to their own, not the other way round. Meanwhile 3 out of those 4 people have never even stepped there feet into Nigeria; they only have igbo names, they don't have igbo blood and mentality like you. So stop famzing them! Finally, continue licking the wounds you got from the just concluded elections! Losers!!!! Awon omo jatijati. Mtcheeeeew!!
this is good news. I wissh them all the best
WOW!!!! VERY IMPRESSIVE, I LOVE MY COUNTRY (NIGERIA) NO MATTER THE UPS AND DOWN, WE ARE DETERMINED TO EXCEL, CONGRATS TO THEM ALL
You are so right
Is that why you can't even get your spellings right? OLODO!!!
Wow. Thats great. I am proud to be a nigerian
Den why do dey answer Igbo names? Dey ar stil Nigerians no matter wat u say. Wikipedia wil stil giv their nationality as british Nigerian.
congrats to them all especially the 2 igbo pipl. ibos are doing so well everywhere.
Congratulation!
Tell those Okponus o! All those mumu's that think they have seen 'there brothers' and claiming success over another man's sweat!
That's a lie not all of them won. For exam bim afolami did not win for lewisham deptford. He was conservative so no surprise. That area is a strong labour constituency.
Anon 11:17am, Aww! Nwannem, all dis write up just to drive ur point home and show ur jealousy and hatred. Oya biko hug a wet transformer okk!!! No one is licking wound here. U ar d one licking ur necrotic wound bcos u ar soooo bitter. Aturuuuu. Hahahahahah
Congrats
Big congrats my people
Congratulations
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! Do us proud.
You are the most stupid person I have read there comment on LIB, I bet when the Oba theeaten Igbos with the lagoon you supported Igbos who they and their parents were Lagos born and bred now you have turned around to say these ones are as british as the daylight, wht did you not say other Nigerians born and bred in Lagos are Lagosians as the daylight? Double standards...
Your point?
This is not true, Linda. Chika Akinwale contested for the Lib Dems in Ipswich but did not win.
See the paragraph you wrote....so much pain..ewu yoruba
Anon may 8 11:17am u r so pained omg lwkmd u know u can't stop igbo's from shining lol onye ofe mmanu dirty poor yoruba entity keep hating on igbos while keep on flying high n making money
Thank you very much for your comment ,its hardwork understanding your dream and your mission.
Yeah. Proudly Nigerian
You just insult to insult, can't be objective...whether they've stepped their toes in igbo land is meaningless. ..the fact remains Umunna and Onwurah are TYPICAL igbo surnames making their dad IGBO and them IGBO and yes they've visited igbo land before...you can go and die, jealousy and hate will kill you lots from ofe mmanu. ..eye service mother fuckers...If reverse where to be the case no one will hear any word from you guys...go educate your oba of lagos and his likes king of zulu. ..NdiIgbo are fearless!!!
Congrat to them
Good news. Congrats to them all.
http://funmykemmy.com
wow a very big congrats to them..
Awesome!!!
That's not the point. With their last names and heritage they would be taken as foriegners if they tried to run for elective positions eg in a state such as Lagos where some Igbos have lived all their lives and even speak more Yoruba than Igbo. That is tribalism at it's core. Over their in Britain and the USA your heritage and name does not matter. All that matters is that you are a Briton or American who can add value and that you are a law abiding citizen that pats tax.
You people will not let sleeping dogs lie! Always promoting tribal sentiments and rivalry.... Na your father be EWU!!! Omo alay buruku!!! Gan tell you illiterate Obi of Onitsha that nonsense.... the people you're even claiming wouldn't want to associate with you if they ever know that you exist!
and I am glad for them. I hope that they would not join the throngs of others who rubbish our country's name in the international scene. I hope they will help to restore our prestige.
Congrats oo...
Proud of another man's success? A leopard never changes it's skin!!! Mtcheww. 'Representing in fake products that ruins development and drug dealings' abi?
Pls pls, i am Igbo. But like Martin Luther King Jr I dream that one day an Igbo man will govern Katsina, and Hausa govern Imo etc...
Let us break the bondage of tribalism
Linda i doubt they are Nigerians. They are british citizens. Plz correct this. U cant win a political sit in a country u are not from. Dont give false information before people will go to another country with the aim of wining a political sit. I doubt they even claim Nigeria.
Thank you and may Chukwu Abiama bless you abundantly
You are the Olodo one here for commenting as annonymous...igbo hater...With or without you we wax ever stronger...I know you wish it's a drug related offence these guys are in the news for but sorry...if them do drug dem be igbo,if dem win election dem be Nigerians...kitikpa gba gbuo gi there....coward
Oh mr/Mrs anonymous so now it has nothing to do with tribe coz it's good news? If it's bad now, you guys will be the 1st to demonise the igbos. Plz seat down!!! All the way down sir/ma'am
Congratulations

Chuka Umuna is from OGBUNKA, Orumba South L.G.A of Anambra State. He is the only son of Lt.Chief Ossy Ben Umuna.

This tribe thing don cause fight for Instagram! It will surprise igbo people by the time they interviewed this 4 people and they tell you they're british and not nigerian! Una hand go just drop...loool ask that ejiofor guy!
Congrats to them
British you say? Then why wouldn't I an Ibo lady born and bred in Lagos be called a Lagosian. Some of you Yourubas are heartless and always jealous of the Ibos
Igbo or no igbo,these people possess different behavior and character than the igbos living in Nigeria.We better not deceive ourselves they might be igbo by name but that the called igbo isnt in their vein
Anon 12:00 I guess u Notting about the obi of imitate. Pls go and find out about him. Ur yeye oba of Lagos who is retired police man is no where near his achievements.
Anon. 12:03. I can feel ur pain. But it's a pity your hate can never stop our shine.
Am so happy for them......big congrats too
Many congratulations to them all, this only happens in advanced countries where tribalism & ethnicity is not called for.. Hope our dear country is learning..
Lol. Yoruba people will not kill me with their hypocrisy. They are igbos whether you like it or not.
Yoruba people are the ones who have serious inferiority complex that's why they are so pained at igbo people's success. It's a pity u can't stop our shine.
Shut your mouth. They are Nigerians. Because it has to do with success now u doubt if They are Nigerians.
All ibos! Great! And they say we can't rule nigeria but we are on to bigger things, the White house in a bit😀
Congrats to my sister...You've made Igbos proud!
Ashawoo, They look prettier than your bleached body and fake hair that you have sucked all the old politicians dicks to afford.
Look at this dreamer. Do you think they are Nigerians? They don't even say they are, stay here being excited iver nothing
Shut up. Shut Up i say. First of, these peoplw don't even go around saying they are Ibos. Also, they are British of Nigerian names and descent does not make them Nigerians.
Anon 11:12, thank you so much for sense. Ibo people will come here claiming.
If those peeps had a way, they will change their names. Ibos, terrible lot. Thank God my oga is Ikwerre
King and Anon 11:23, chop plenty kisses.
Ibo people love to claim relationship
Look at the two of them, ibo fools.
Lol @ OIL. Please ask thr thing
Anon 12:03, Plenty kisses on your good head
When God loves a tribe, He loves them, all the other ones will do is to hate and castigate them. Igbos are great! if this pains you please reply but deep down you know say we be the greatest cos we are Gods beloved. Now that we are in the news for good, they want to discredit us. Ewoo. They cant stop us from shinning simple and short. Ndi obiakpo.
Obama who is the president of the United states did not forget his roots . Lol. Stop hating.
Sharap. These people have never stepped foot in Nigeria or Eastern Nigeria obviously. Else, it won't be long before they embezzle money and are stoned just like the average Ibo is a thief
Stop talking like an illiterate or u better shut up ur mouth if u dnt know what to say
Congrats, and thank God that Nigerians are in the news for good reasons
I love BIAFRA, HARD working people.
osamor is a from delta, most likely ogwashi-uku where okonjo hails from. GREAT PEOPLE!
ANON 12:03 why are you so pained???

How did this turn to an ethnic debate??? If you didn't notice there are other tribes on that list.... I am beginning to think you igbo's are either very tribalistic or there is some issue with self esteem... stop causing conflict where there is none
Let Oba ji of Lagos go hung transformer for the Britions

dats good 2 know,very BIG congrats,oba ji of lagos take note.oliver
Everything turns into Igbo vs Yoruba. Congrats to the winning pols. Eff the tribalists.
And Yorubas will say only Yorubas can run for election in cosmopolitan Lagos. Smh!
The United Kingdom Elections have come and gone, no ballot box snatching, no mass thumb-printing of ballot papers at the residence of A, B & C, nobody was killed, maimed or kidnapped. I did not see party posters defacing streets. No woman leader! No 60 year old as a youth leader! No hired crowds with drumming and insulting the opponents. Campaign was issue based, and of course no one used 'Presidential Jets/Private Jets' to move from one place to the other, no 'First Lady' threatening fire and brimstone. Pray! If only my beloved country can copy this type of electioneering process and not the "do or die" attitude.
