These actors are awesome especially Chiwetel Ejifor, I also wish Idris Elba was Nigerian as well 'cos he played his role so well in Beasts of no Nation.

Proud of you guys.. Naija for life

Also in the british series ' Gotham'
I can't comprehend why some of us must be tribalistic in all things.Either Igbo,Hausa or Yoruba.The only thing we can do is to be proud of them for being good ambassadors of Nigeria.They identify themselves for the country where they are from and not the part of the country where they are from.Please let's talk on things that unite us and not the one that divide us

Go to Abuja and see for yourself. 7 out of every 10 flash cars or houses are owned by northerners. An average northerner prefers to invest in Nigeria than to go outside. That is why we always wear made in Nigeria clothes. We are Africans and proud.

No, but you spoke like they're responsible for the less privileged because they're Nigerians and successful, they are not, it's their prerogative how they chose to spend their wealth, they worked for it.
