Hurray!!
Africa: David Oyewole Becomes First Black James Bond

It has been confirmed that British-born Nigerian actor, David Oyelowo is the next James Bond.

It was gathered that the star of the world-acclaimed movie, Selma, will take on the character for an audio book edition of Trigger Mortis, penned by Anthony Horowitz.

'I am officially the only person on planet Earth who can legitimately say: "I am the new James Bond" - even saying that name is the cinematic equivalent of doing the "to be or not to be" speech,' said David after his appointment was announced.

I'd replace the "yoruba man" with NIGERIAN....

There's no crime in him being or being declared as a Yoruba man. This is what he is and that's perfectly fine. Congrats to him.
We don't even know if he's a Nigerian honestly, if he's a british citizen he can still be a yoruba man and a brit. If he's a dual citizen fine but what we know for sure is he's yoruba and he's british.

He was given birth to in the UK but sent back to Lagos to learn some Yoruba ways before withdrawing back to England.

Ok,

I still don't think it's a crime to say he's Yoruba. He's probably a citizen of Nigeria two but what's proven is he's Yoruba and he's British

Oyelowo very likely ran away from NIGERIA in order to find greener pastures.
