The Igbo Homeland wasn't always so cheery and bright. Biafra, as I remember it.

What is that photo?
I'm surprised the moderators do not understand the very real history of Sunny's homeland. That is a picture from the historical home region of the Igbo tribe in eastern Nigeria. I'm quite sure Sunny is an Igbo, as are virtually all the other Nigerians who have played in our program.
As you are no doubt aware, the British were the colonial power that ruled what became Nigeria. There were(and are) at least three major tribes in what is now Nigeria: the Hausa, Yoriba and the Igbo. The last, the Igbo, had the most contact with the British. Some might say that this made them more sophisticated about Western European ways of government, commerce and so forth. This apparently led to more resentment by other parts of the Nigerian population. At some point, for many reasons I don't remember, the Eastern region which was home to the Igbo's tried to secede and set up it's own independent country, Biafra. That led to what became known as the Biafran Civil War. The central Nigerian government, which tried to, and did successfully, prevent the secession, was accused, apparently with a great deal of justification, of trying to starve the Igbo into submission. For several years, the world was aghast at the ongoing pictures coming out of Biafra of young children starting to death en masse. This occurred about 50 years ago, in the late 1960's.
I remember it very well. It was horrifying and a sobering lesson of how ineffectual we were in trying to stop this suffering elsewhere in the world.
I've been aware of the other Sunny, the Chief. I believe he's a billionaire and it demonstrates the resiliancy of the Igbo Tribe. Still, if a poster is going to put up a video of him, it's fair to depict the very real, recent and horrendous history of that region. Who's to say it could not happen again? Hopefully it never will, but since we have more and more Nigerians, and it seems disproportionately, Igbo's, we should recognize their very recent history of suffering, including what many might characterize as genocide.
