1) Do you remember Agent Smith in Matrix? Yes! Neo’s arch-rival is Nigerian. How? Well the 53 year old actor was born in Nigeria at the University College Hospital in Ibadan. This makes him Nigerian by birth. His parents moved back to England a year after. Hugo Weaving has acted in several blockbusters such as V For Vendetta, The Matrix Trilogy and Lord of The Rings Trilogy, Transformers Trilogy, The Hobbit Trilogy and Captain America. Who said Ibadan boys don’t go far?


2) The 25 year old British singer is of Nigerian heritage. He was born to a Nigerian father and Brazilian mother. Taio Cruz who started penning songs at 12, began writing professionally 7 years later. He released his debut album Departure in 2008. The following year he released his sophomore Rokstarr which featured the hit song ‘Dynamite’. He dropped his 3rd album TY.O three years ago. Taio Cruz has won several awards including the BRIT Awards, Billboard Music Awards, ASCAP Awards and American Music Awards.

3)Dizzie (Dylan Kwabena Mills) is one of the most respected rappers in the UK and also happens to be Nigerian. His Nigerian father died when he was young and he was raised by his Ghanaian mum. He had a rebellious childhood and that’s how he got the name Rascal. He was a friend of Nigerian footballer Danny Shittu when he was a kid. At 16 he produced his first single ‘I Luv U’ and in 2002 formed the collective Roll Deep Crew. Dizzie Rascal has released 5 solo albums till date making him one of the biggest rappers in the UK. He performed at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics in London and won the Best International Act at the BET Awards in 2010.

4) This is another Brit-Nigerian. Richard Ayoade was born to a Nigerian father and Norwegian mother. The 36 year old comedian, actor and writer has written several awards winning stage plays in the UK. He is also a known face on British TV having starred in the highly popular The IT Crowd. He made his Hollywood debut in 2012 after starring in the comedy The Watch alongside Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill.

5) Yes, do not be shocked. The ‘Black Eminem’ is Nigerian. Tyler the Creator’s actual names are Tyler Okonma. His father is Igbo. The leader of the music collective ‘Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All’ claims he never met his father. Maybe that is why he is not too fond of him. In 2009 Tyler released his first album Bastard. His buzz started growing from then on mainly backed by his offensive, homophobic and disgusting lyrics. He released his second album Goblin two years later and became a national sensation without the backing of any major record label in America. He released his third album Wolf this year.

U left out Ne-Yo whose real name is Chiemere. It's obvious he is of Nigerian heritage. His grand parents may have been born and raised in the US or something like dat. Don't know if Ne-Yo agrees he's Nigerian though.

That their forefathers are Nigerians doesnt make them one of us. They dont rep us so whats the deal.......are we supposed to feel proud of them when they dont regard the country. Btw......if we were to trace the black americans to their forefathers, they'll be africans, does that make them africans?

Even if they are Nigerians, they will be afraid to claim here because of the boko haramic nature of our land. Remember Obama visisting Ghana instead of Nigeria. So what is the essence of referencing them?

Hugo Weaving is not Nigerian in anyway, though he was born in Ibadan. Nigerian law does not recognize and accept citizenship by birth like the US. The laws of Nigeria recognizes citizenship by descent. i.e a person's ancestor must have been a native Nigerian for anyone to be recognized as a Nigerian citizen.

This is true. Many of us born in Lagos should claim Lagos if the country recognises citizenship by birth but we all still claim our state of origin. But sincerely, we should adopt citizenship by birth. For instance, if I was born and bred in Lagos and I want to contest for Local government chairmanship position, they will say I'm not an indigene of the state. If I go to my state of origin, they will tell me yes we agree you are from this state but we don't know you. So, where do I belong?
