Meet Sidney Davis (pictured above) with his mother Irene Toland enjoying a dish and laughter with his African sisters Chisolu Anakwenze (left) & Lilian Adesheila (right) at the 2015 Igbo World Festival.
Sidney was born and raised in New England, USA. He discovered his Igbo roots through DNA autosomal testing, went to Igboland for the first time in 2012 and subsequently was given the Igbo name “Prince Eluemuno Eri” (I have returned home to the land of my ancestors). He was among African Americans formally welcomed into the Igbo community at the 2014 Reconnection Ceremony.
Sidney has since gone on to establish several businesses in Nigeria. Best of all, he has been making time to discover and connect with his Igbo relatives in Nigeria. In appreciation for his efforts, Sidney has been honored with chieftaincy titles including Prince Eluemuno Eri of Iduu Eri Kingdom, Aguleri, Anambra State.
While attending the World Igbo Festival, connect with Sidney and others with equally interesting backgrounds.
