Why is it that any time that any Black person who is living overseas, and who happens to be a direct descendant of African parents, excels in any field for example, either in Technology, the Arts & Sciences, Sports, Music or Entertainment, etc., European and Western countries are very quick to claim that person as their own. They don't even bother to recognize that that they are Africans too. But when any descendant of an African does something bad or for example, commits a crime somewhere, they are very quick to disown that person (even if he was born and raised right there in their country all of his life). Their media will quickly make it clear that that person is either Nigerian o, or na Ghanaian or Liberian or Kenyan, Ugandan, Somalian, Moroccan, Libyan, or from some country in Africa.

It never ceases to amaze me that time and time again, European countries have perfected the sleek and cunning art of always claiming any successful Africans (whether they are born and raised in Africa or not or whether their parents migrated overseas and gave birth to them overseas), it doesn't matter. The fact is that anything and anybody that will make Oyibo man or woman look good or put money for his pocket, they will claim it immediately as their own. And conversely, anything that will make Oyibo people look bad, they will quickly dump that person, in a heartbeat. Dem go quickly say that person no be dem own, even if he or she was born and raised for Oyiboland and don follow dem live there all of im life. Funny how that works.

This young actor, John Boyega, full name is John Adedayo B. Adegboyega https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Boyega is star of the movies "Detroit" and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." He is of Nigerian parentage. He was born and raised in Britain to Nigerian parents http://pagesix.com/2017/07/27/john-boyega-buys-his-parents-a-home/ And you guessed it of course, Britain immediately claims him as their own. Yes, he was born and raised there but he still has African blood in him and was raised by Africans. The Brits don't even bother to give any credit to his Nigerian parents for the excellent job that they did of raising him. He is a rising star. Watch out! I say that he is destined to reach the top of the mountain. Go ahead, feel free to chime in and share other cases of Nigerians and Africans and their off-springs, who have excelled in various fields and do reside in overseas countries. If you have something useful to add to this or share with us, please go ahead and say it. No insults please and no cheap tribal comments and other baseless innuendos. Stick to the script. Thank you.

success have many friends
