Usain Bolt is definitely from Nigeria. Probably from Osun state.
I suspect that his real name is Hussaini Omoboluwaje.

I smell jealousy. Person dey bear SADE ADU you say nor be Naija.. Na wa o.. One even talk say since she not get property for Naija so nor be Naija. Like for real? Tribalism don damage most Nigerian youth brain.

Is Akon an American or Senegalese musician?

Does he sing Senegalese genre of music or American?

-What is Senegalese genre? He sings hip hop and R&B which is sung all over the world. He contest the MTV African base award with Tuface and was defeated.

An African musician does not need to produce in Africa before he is seen as such. Ambrose Campbell left Nigeria for the UK and US in the 1940's and lived there till his death around 2009. He was referred to as an African musician.

though R&B and Hip pop may be worldwide, there are brands to them, afro hip hop, afro R&B, American Hip Hop and R&B.

Akon and Tu Baba never contested for the award, but nominated for the award. The two musicians were not personally involved in the contest but nominated by their fans for the contest.

Oladipupo Campbell started his musical career and sang afro genre before leaving for UK.
Mikel Obi played for Plateau United and moved to Europe, England since 2006. Has he become an English footballer?
John Fashanu was born to a Nigerian father, played his footballing career in England. Has he become a Nigerian footballer even after returning to Nigeria?

If Akon was not an African he wouldn't have been nominated along side Tuface the MTV African (not American) base award. It's just like the BET award that African-Americans and Africans are nominated for.

When John Fashanu returned to Nigeria, did he play for us?

Looool.

You sound like a frustrated weirdo and I think I need to take a break from this forum cos the overwhelming majority of you are ignorant and crazy at the same time.

So folks with their fathers' last names don't identify with their fatherland in ya obtuse mind, no? Err, and you're one the ret.arded illiterates who voted an illiterate clown called "Goodluck Jonathan" to rule over you for four years. When you hear "Sade Adu" and "Goodluck Jonathan" - which of the two sounds more Nigerian and shows someone identifying with an African heritage?

Also, how many Nigerians bought her albums? But you expect her to take her talent to a country where folks neither know what great music is, nor understand talent, apart from jumping on bandwagon, no? Most Nigerians wouldn't even know what great music is even if you were to smack their faces with it - unless it's on international charts and it's in vogue, and they want to also sound cool and current.

And nah, naij killed Fela Kuti's talent and the world didn't really get to see how great he was until recently. Except folks with an ear for great music everywhere, especially hip-hop artists who sampled him a lot, thus making him the sampled African artist ever. Before the broadway show in America and later Europe - most people didn't even know how great Fela Kuti was. That's also the reason why he never won a grammy award. Jimi Hendrix had to come to the UK where folks appreciated his craft before he was accepted in the US, and subsequently became a superstar. Ditto Public Enemy. Even Youssou N'Dour had to move to France and that's the guy that stole all the accolades that should've been Fela Kuti's. It has nothing to do with politics. Naij killed the global recognition that's Fela Kuti's birthright for being a genius

Ya post pissed me off and I'm out for a week or two...off on holiday to a beautiful place muthaphucka.

point of correction I had not for ones wasted my time to vote for anybody, how would a psychotic being like u know that and saying that Nigerians killed fela's talent is an overstatement Nigerians appreciated his talent and work bt wasnt appreciated internationally early enough before his death and only bastards would support Nigerians who do not Identify with where they come from and I think u are one @shmmx3 dnt ever talk to me in such manner again in your miserable life

Akon being nominated for MTV African base award hasn't made him African musician.
Tell me what genre of African music he sings. And how his music has African undertone.

Exactly with Akon and Sade Adu, John Fashanu associating and acknowledging the parental origin hasn't made Fashanu a Nigerian football player.

Did George Weah winning the European footballer of the year make him a European?

If you talk African genre, not even Olamide and Phyno could be said, sing African genre(s). Our young artistes sing in the genres of hip hop, R&B and blues like their European and American counterparts.

The genres that are indigenous to us are ikwokrikwo, were, adama, highlife, fuji, awurebe, apala, etc.

That are person lives in Europe or the United State doesn't make him one of them. Emily VanCamp, Eliza Taylor and Henry Czerny Canadians. Sullivan Stapleton is Australian. Josh Bowman and Barry Sloane are British. These people are Hollywood actors. They are identified first by their countries of origin before anything else.

We have actors of Nigerian origin in Hollywood who are either born in the US or Europe or left Nigeria as kids, it doesn't rub them of their being a Nigerian.

As long as a black man in Europe or the US identifies with Africa (not like the likes of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, R. Kelly, etc) as being the place his parents come from, he is African. Akon was born in the US but was shuttling between the US and Senegal at a tender age. Wycleff Jean was born in the US but called a Haitian because his parents were from there.
