There are foreign stars of Igbo decent too like Ashley Madekwe, Chinwetal Ejiofor, Tracey Ifeachor, Nnamdi Asomugha, Uzo Aduba, Carolina Chikezie, Nonso Anozie, etc.

Nigeria is is great country with great people. Please, don't settle for tribalism.

I am not Igbo, but this is the most ignorant comment I've seen in years. Are you even aware that there are over 50 Igbos in hollywood?

Even though I am not Yoruba by birth, I simply love that tribe.....I love their personalities, their peaceful demeanor always, the intelligent, the accommodative disposition, the lovely language and the facts that they ain't limited to Nigeria, Africa alone but in North America, South America, Central America and not as a migrant but as an indigenes of that such countries. I also discovered that most Yorubas that were carried away as slaves in the 14 to 16th century kept their cultures so well and now it's making a prominent of their ancestry and already accepted and integrated into the mainstream of those countries indigenous people such Brazil, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Trinidad, Saint Lucia, Benin, Togo, Brazil, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, to name a few. Omg! The Yorubas are indigenous to all these countries. The only tribe that's not limited to their ancestral land of South West of Nigeria, West Africa but transcend to the other continents.....I hail o You Yorubas all over, I am one of you guys also but adopted Yorubas....Awa Lagba, Gidigidi.....Ese...Modupe..
