U.S CITIZEN CELEBRATES IGBO ATTIRE, CLAIMS IGBO ORIGIN
An African-American from Abia State has said that he’s of Igbo origin and will be visiting Nigeria in December 2018, having resided in the United States all his life.
David Love, who is a US citizen, said his ancestors were captured and shipped to America for slavery and worked on a plantation. He said he might return to his homeland one day, and that his relatives have provided him with traditional attire for him to dress like an Igbo man in the US.
“I am African American but my ancestor was captured and shipped to North America for enslavement. It was here that my ancestor survived on a slave plantation in Virginia so that I might, one day, return to my homeland. I am descended from the Igbos of Umuahia and my clan is within Umuopara.
My DNA has been connected to my distant cousin, Obie Uwadineke, who is from Umunwanwa. Mazi Ikem C. Eronini has provided me with the clothing so that I can dress as an Igbo man. I am returning December 2018, to visit.
