Okay, so I know there was already a topic on this before, but I can't resist the temptation of starting up a new one, will try to put up mostly new faces, help me out if you know any. Please wouldn't want anyone to rain on my parade, no rude comments, JAMB questions like "How have they contributed...blah blah blah" and no questions concerning the price of anything whatsoever. Thanks  1. We have Enuka Vanessa Okuma, Actress. She's most popular as Tracy in Rookie Blue, don't have the full bio though 2. Hope Olaide Wilson, Actress. She was Jennifer in the Tyler Perry movie I Can Do Bad All By Myself 3. Megalyn Echikunwoke, Actress. She played Isabelle Tyler in 4400 and Nicole Palmer in the first season of 24. Her dad is of Igbo royalty, her mother is of Scottish-Irish ancestry. 4. Annie Ngozi Ilonzeh, Actress. She's the first black Charlie's Angel...until the show was cancelled.

Hakeem Kazeem was born in Lagos but i don't think he's a Nigerian. I might be wrong though. Enuka Vanessa Okuma was also in a season in 24 where Jack Bauer used her life to play draft  I don't know why Megalyn Echikunwoke has not been able to get a big break in her career. Chiwetel Ejiofor is one person that may turn out to be the biggest Hollywood star of African descent. he sure has what it takes. Adewale Akinouye Agbaje should be giving a lead role in one of those blockbusters for once. He's a legend in his own right. I'm also keeping tabs on Caroline Chikezie |

Sade was born in Ibadan, Ọyọ State, Nigeria. Her name, Folasade, means honor confers a crown.[1] Her parents, Bisi Adu, a Nigerian lecturer in economics of Yoruba background, and Anne Hayes, an English nurse, met in London and moved to west Africa. Later, when the marriage ran into difficulties, Anne returned to Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, England, taking four-year-old Sade and her older brother Banji to live with her parents. Living in Colchester, Essex, Sade read a good deal, developed an interest in fashion, acquired a taste for dancing and listened to soul artists like Curtis Mayfield, Donny Hathaway, and Marvin Gaye.
