I don't like Nigerians who don't represent. Nobody askeed Akon before he told us he was senegalese. why do we have to claim them. Chamilllionare and the rest of them. Even if its the soccer players, same thing. let them tell the world about their heritage first.

I love the guy. He's such a great actor and I absolutely adore how diverse he is in picking movies unlike most black americans who stick to the same ol' cliche movies.
He was great in Dirty Pretty Things and hilarious in 4 Brothers. I need to get Kinky Boots.

Are you saying Chiwetel doesn't rep Naija? I don't really know since I'm not in the UK and have to seek out his interviews etc. But you ain't lying. Folks aren't reppin' like they're supposed to! Having said that, I'm not convinced Cham is Naija. Anyhow, he won't get into the club until he says so properly. |

He "played" a Nigerian Muslim in "Dirty Little Things"
He's repping by not changing his name unlike some people *cough*Seal*cough*

Hey Seal Rep. Nigeria oooo! He said his name was given 2 him in school! so it's a name he grew up with!  |
|
|
|

|
ThiefOfHearts (f)
|
But he uses that "nickname" for everything.
Heidi Klum and Seal. Seal's son.
Seal's music.
Seal's place in London.
Seal's parents.
What the hell is that?
