"Trevor's mum is Xhosa, which is one of his biological parents. Trevor as a true son of the soil, knows more than 3 of the official languages of the Republic of South Africa. Seeing that you were comparing..... I Think South Africans are just infuriated by Nigerians in general!"

"He's mother is Xhosa unlike Chidinma."
