Nigeria vs The Classic Man

Nigeria has always been quick to align itself with success. Every time a new star is born and he is from Africa most especially Nigeria, people have been quick to "claim" them as one of there own. This was very evident on the case of British born Nigerian actor Chiwetel Ejiofor.  After his much acclaimed role in major Hollywood productions , Nigerians where quick to remind every one that he is a Nigerian. Fast foward to 2015 which has been a breakthrough year for many stars of foreign nationalities but of Nigerian descent. This was very evident in the case of Jidenna Theodore Mobisson an American artiste of Igbo Nigerian heritage. After the BET awards, Nigerians all celebrated him while spelling it loud and clear that he was a son of the soil. That goodwill has recently vanished after a recent interview with vlad Tv when the artiste recounted he's experience when they travelled back home to bury their father. Jidenna the youngest of four children said that they hired trained commandos with Ak47 automatic rifles to guard against kidnapping which was quite rampant at the time. He went on to claim that the kidnappers targeted light skinned Nigerians more(What of Ramsey Noah, Amber Rose and Igwe Tupac) .He went on to say that he was from the Southeast region of Nigeria predominantly inhabited by the Igbo people. He made matters worst by saying that this region was away from the city (can you imagine this pickin? ??) and was in the bush. Nigeria already has so many problems especially with the radical sect of Boko Haram, dwindling economy and a floundering leadership who are confused and seem adept at playing the blame game (can't fail to mention the drama of the past few weeks that has taken place in the legislature). Jidenna should try and put he's country of descent in good light instead of trolling Nigeria as we already have enough negative press. On the other hand he was just accounting he's experience although he did not say it in the right way and Nigerians as we always do , overreacted . Please, let us forgive him after all he's still our own son.
