Egbagirl:


I stopped reading after the first paragraph. Jokes aside, I'm done with this argument.

To you, he is Nigerian. Great! I'm happy for you.

To me, to the American government, to the Nigerian governemnt, he is American.

Btw, I did not insult you, I did not insult your father,and I did not insult your name. Learn motto take things too personal smiley

Na me even get time for all dis story sef. My playtime is over. Peace.

Thank goodness you said 'playtime'. You obviously escaped from your nursery and came to spout rubbish here. Please hurry back to your crib. Next time, I'll make you go to the naughty step if you get out of line again angry angry tongue tongue


Oh by the way---- does him being an American stop him in any way from also being a Nigerian? Because according to you, he can't be both. Smfhhhh

If only you could admit you were wrong, this can end amicably. But people like you would never do that. You're simply myopic and I can only do my best to straighten out your dumb notions.

Please feel free to NOT reply. I won't hold it against you.

As for your fake PEACE pls pocket it jare. Person like you no like peace but you will be saying it 100 times as if that makes it alright. Yeye

*There are other 11 great artist of YORUBA dynasty that have gotten grammys before the new omo oduduwa.

Re: Kelvin Olusola, Grammy Award First Nigerian Winner [Photo] by Nobody: 1:28am On Feb 11, 2015
op has not heard of chamillonaire.

Chamillionaire was born to a father from Oyo State, Nigeria and an African-American mother in Washington D.C.

He won the 2007 Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.

You have Sade and seal too., Seal was born Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel on 19
February 1963 in Paddington, London, England to a
Nigerian mother, Adebisi Ogundeji and a Brazilian father,
Francis Samuel.
Wale(rapper) is next in line.

He has been to Nigeria and wants to get married to a Nigerian if he sees though. Though born and bred in America, he loves Naija and he speaks Yoruba quite well
