There is an interesting assertion by some confused igbo person who claims to be an academic (doubt that very much-I am sure its the usual 419) and who has suggested that I have Nupe ancestry.
He claims that I am not a real yoruba and that my paternal great grandfather, Rev Emmanuel Kayode, was a Nupe and a Sierra Leonnean (all at the same time) who was raised by Bishop Ajayi Crowther. This one really is so funny. It is also absurd. I laughed for close to one hour when the write-up was brought to my attention by my p.a.. I even posted it on my wall for a while until my fb friends appealed to me to remove it because of its toxic aura.
Those that are the masters of lies and propaganda have started their rubbish again trying to re-write history and demonise their perceived enemies. To say that they are closer to the animal kingdom than most is to say the least. To them nothing is sacred and they are prepared to lie about anything or anyone just to achieve their nefarious objectives.
It is their nature and frankly it is a cultural problem. It is only when I read the essay written by Professor Osuji Ozodi that I really understood them. They have a deep-seated pyschological problem and a terrible siege mentality. Anyone that disagrees with them on any issue is a tribalist and must be destroyed. It is truly pitiful. There are some amongst them that are exceptions to the rule and frankly they are the only redeeming factor and saving grace. Other than that I have come to expect anything from them and nothing they do or say can ever surprise me again.
I assure you all that there is not an iota of truth in the assertion that I have any Nupe ancestral ties or blood in me. I have traced my bloodlines back to 8 generations and other than having a little fulani blood in me through my maternal great grandmother I am a pure yoruba. I have ancestral ties with Abeokuta, Ilesha, Ife and Lagos but no where else. I have no Nupe blood in me and my great grandfather was not a Nupe or a Sierra Leonnean. Neither was he a slave or in any way related to the great Bishop Ajayi-Crowther.
Unlike the igbo writer of this fiction I can trace my history and I know my heritage. If I had Nupe roots I would be the first to say so and I would be very proud of that. This is because, unlike the igbo, the Nupe’s are very close to the yoruba and are actually part of us. The northerners and the people of the south west and mid west (edo and delta) are inextricably linked by history, marriage, trade, bloodlines and culture. They are collectively known as the Sudanese Nigerians because they migrated from north Africa down to where they are today. The igbo and the people of the eastern Niger Delta (Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Calabar, Bayelsa) are known as the Bantu Nigerians and they have no ancestral ties or links with the Sudanese. They migrated to where they are today from East Africa and Central Africa hence the name Bantu.
The Bantu and the Sudanese are very different in their outlook to life and their ways. Unlike the Bantu the Sudanese have a long history of ancient kingdoms and empire, sophisticated hierachial structures, an all-inclusive, liberal, tolerant and accommodating tradition, a refined and well educated nobility and ruling class, a rigid class system and a noble tradition of excellence and fair play.
So sad that a distinguished institution like Cambridge University has a misfit and moron called Femi Fani-Kayode as an alumnus. Sad that this clown was formerly a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. So sad that there are people who endorse this clown’s drug-induced outbursts. What a country!!! There really was a country!!!
Chinwe I dey help d man shame. He’s a disgrace to his alma mater
Femi Fani-Kayode pls stop all this ur insult on igbos. Pls. A 10yrs old boy has more respect than you have since ur crab piece.
Chinwe, did you notice that only when someone writes something or say something about him or the Yorubas that he replies, please let’s be fair, if no one answers him or try to intimidate him further, i’m sure he will stop. I hope people will not start cursing me for this.
Rico, you probably don’t know this Femi very well. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. You might not know about the habits he acquired, that are controlling him. He needs assistance.
Let’s allow this man to go waste in hell where he belongs think he is just trying to redeem his already lost image. If we don’t reply any of these his writeups he will go and look for recognition elsewhere not through the great Ndigbo. The igbos are a very unique set of ppl and that’s why they envy them
Am a Yoruba guy, and I can tell u dat Femi is going rather too far with ds campagne of calumny! The fact that someone said u re from Nupe doesn’t not mean u have to reply everytym u re attacked! This is childish
Am a Yoruba guy, and I can tell u dat Femi is going rather too far with ds campagne of calumny! The fact that someone said u re from Nupe doesn’t not mean u have to reply everytym u re attacked! U re not fighting for Yoruba please!!! This is childish

I am not a fan of Fani Kayode becos i c him as rude and insulting as OBJs SSA,but on this Igbo matter i am on d same page with him.This controversy has shown d Igbos as unrefined,uncultured group odf expansionists who d Nigerian state will b better off without. Am awaiting ur insults Ewu all of u
Wale it’s obvious dat u’re among d poor, wretched, good for nothng and lazy yorubas who are so envious about the igbos. We are champions wherever we go. We are unique set of people. Where were u and ur cohorts when d igbos came to lagos and bought up all d properties hia and are now controlling the economy of lagos; not just lagos, Abuja, etc. Here in lagos, a yoruba man is a gate man in our house, and in another of our house @ ketu, a yoruba man is our caretaker. Shame on u people.
I dey help dis man shame.
Why can’t our elders advice this lunatic to respect himself and shut up, what is he fighting for? He’s embarrassing us for crying out loud.
@femi kayode I use to have respect for you but you’ve lost it all. What a shame that a man at your status would be so stupid to make silly comments resulting to tribalism. SHAME ON YOU. Onye ofe mmanu like you
Ifeanyi on d contrary am an accomplished professional and a CEO of my firm and d uncultured and criminal like lifestyle lifestyle of an average Ibo man isnt something an urban,refined and polished individual like me will ever wish to be identified with talk less of envying.The Biafran war was not about envy but a direct reaction to d lousiness of a race without an iota of desency or decorum.Its just unfortunate dat a whole race rates itself only on crass materialism and aggression.I really pity you
Which firm? My friend go and sleep, you are a hunger stricken fellow. Why can’t u condemn evil for ones? How many articles will Femi write to show his hatred for the igbos? He’s just being childish, overgrown baby, Bomboy.
I would appreciate if issues are discussed rather than dish out unprintable words to each other.Mr.Fani kayode might have ‘pharmaceutical’ issues,but can we intelligently and objectively discuss his view points?
Ifeanyi,am sure there are other tribes working as gatemen in Ketu.
Any dissenting opinion or stand shouldn’t warrant such crassness please.
We can all disagree without being disagreeable.
The igbos don’t have any thinking faculty at all rather than jumping guns over salient issues;when we talk you people will open your mouth saying that you control this,you control that.incase you people don’t know,you are the most criminals and crime breeding peopleinfact,it has become an industry for you.,igbos are d kidnappers,cocaine and drug pushers,419ers;ritualists,drug counter feiters,fraudsters,infact,report has it that more than 1million Igbos are in various prisons across the globe for various criminal offences.Yet,shameless people still claim that some people envy them,what is there to envy in you?Is it all the criminality you are perpentrating about that people will envy of?let it be known to all the igbos that process is on now to extricate and banish you all to the jungle because you are not better than beasts.Shameless bunch of ill-goats!
It’s quite a pity dat a person of femi falana’s calibre did nt knw d pivotal role d igbo people played in d actuallization and development of d nation nigeria. I’m so ashamd of him, for he cld nt do a simple reseach b4 coming out wit his bags of lies against d igbo people. May God help him to do away wit tribalism.
@Uche, ol boy! You miss am ooo, it is not Femi Falana, Femi Falana is a human rights advocate, please proof read well ooo, you don’t know who is going to pick it up from u without checking not to persecute innocent person.
I think it is high time that the two warring sides sheathed their respective swords, cos each has had enough of what they exchanged
@ zyak, thank you moderator, i hope they listen to you, they all think they can break the Niger bridge with their keyboard, such thought only happens in mumuland.
Na waoooo,sotei person tink say na femi falana?very soon anoda wil say Femi kuti
Maybe this will help Mr Femi Kayode. You have made your points and i believe won the heart of those that think like you. The Ibos are not good, the Ibos are the problem of Nigeria, they have nothing to offer Nigeria, they should go back to Their Land, they should be killed anywhere they are found Etc. I believe when all this your prayers are answered you and your likes will be in Peace, like i once wrote in this forum a true Yorubaman will not be part of your jelouse tribal campaign to cause disunity in our Nation. All this shows why you failed as a Minister, you dnt believe in one Nigeria or will you say the Ibos told you to steal Aviation Funds for them, Even a child knows the Impact of this people(iboman) in Nigeria and beyond, other tribes in Nigeria are unique they also have their impacts, so why judge their misgivings to prove your points, which tribe in Nigeria that do not have a Good side and Bad side, are you God to Jugde them?. Let the Ibos take Notes and Lessons from this FemiKayodes Articles, its time to start investing or Money and Time in your motherland. Stop the insult of Yorubas becaues of Femi and his likes, i respect the Yorubas alot because they symbolise Humility we have alot to learn from them. God Bless Nigeria…
If the Yorubas allow mad man Fanikayode to breakup Nigeria, they will have themselves to blame.
Pls let leave dis issue alone, we are one. God bless 9ja
Please my fellow Ndigbo ignore this Drug-addict. He must hav blown d Aviation fund dat he stole on cocaine, crack and heroin and is totally broke. He is a frustrated criminal out to remain relevant by singing d song dat he imagined dat some of his people may like and maybe get a contract frm some of them. BLOODY TRIBALISTIC FOOL.

Haba Femi Fani Kayode,why deny that you are NUPE? Why deny that you are the son of a slave? Chief Obafemi Awolowo called your father Nupe because of the treachery in your bloodline and never denied it. Femi,inspite of the fact that you attended Cambridge University, you are a moron of the highest order. How could you do drugs and sleep with his daughters ??????
