Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!!
« on: January 05, 2007, 11:52 AM »

Check this out. This famous Welsh, Shirley Bassey is actually descended from a Nigerian father. Unfortunately, he abandoned the family when the girl was 2 years old. Wonder if he is still alive, and if he is, if he is regretting that he has lost such an opportunity to reconnect with his flesh and blood.

Check out this website on her bio.

You mean you people did not know?Huh
My dad told me ones that He and fellow Nigerian students met her in UK  Backstage. Thats a long time ago.
When he told me i did not believe i was still small. She had just sang the title for a jamesbond film.

When will you stop connecting peoples roots !

She is NOT nigerian , she is Welsh . born in Wales , has a Welsh accsent .
Are you so ashamed of you country that you need to connect the famous and rich to Niger.

If you really want to take it look at you own roots to raise your self worth  Angry

Yeah, her father is Nigerian but I'm not sure she ever referred to herself as NIGERIAN. Even that 'bio' calls her WELSH

You are WRONG. your county of birth (as defined on your BIRTH CERTIFICATE > if you have one ) shows what you are.

Your lack of education will not berate this fact .

Thats not true if you are born in Germany it dose not make you german.
and the Uk changed that law too long ago. Not everyone born there is legal,
Even in the usa , with 18 you have to drop one.

Toh it is very possible that your siblings in Ny will be asked to choose with 18 Nigerian or US .

Thankyou.
In the 60s and 70s you only had to be born there, But a lot of Africans and Asians were having their babies there so they changed the law.

Margret Thatcher DID NOT CHANGE THE LAW she was the Prime Minister .
The House of Lords , ie Parliment has jurasdiction of UK law.
Why do you post such un-informed rubbish .

Do not confuse the law of statute with the written law .

Also Shirley Bassey was NOT her real name , it was her  stage name , this is also a FACT .

For instant, who was Harry Webb ??  go on - sort that out
