Acho has spoken about his upbringing on air before. He was born in the U.S. to Nigerian parents. He went to elementary, high school, and college here, but only saw Black Americans from a distance. He grew up in Texas, but he didn't grow up in our culture. He grew up eating egusi soup and jollof, not our food. His parents probably told him from a very young age not to associate with akata. In his own words, he didn't start associating with Black Americans until he played college football.

Emmanuel Acho doesn't see himself as one of my people. We (FBA) should give him the proper respect of acknowledging that he isn't one of us, and never will be.
