chiogo: sjeezy8: True that. I have met lots of Yoruba with portuguese names especially from lagos. Taio [sic] could also be using his mum's name since that would be better in entertainment. It is not easy having a last name in the lines of "Oluwole" in entertainment |

Good question abt his last name being Cruz. Watched a video on youtube, Break your heart. Nice song. |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by SEFAGO(m): 5:57am On Jan 27, 2010 |
^ The guy is obviously Yoruba, I can see the yoruba features on his face |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by shilling(f): 6:31am On Jan 27, 2010 |

Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by shilling(f): 6:58am On Jan 30, 2010 |
I'm in ND, don't live in Fargo though. |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by SEFAGO(m): 10:40am On Jan 30, 2010 |

SEFAGO:Isn't that the case with sjeezy? LOL @ Oluwole. Not bad, if you ask me. North Dakota isn't Wyoming nau. |

eldee:Bleep me there I was thinking I was the only one who saw it . The dullard was asked by Jeremy Paxman what his feelings were on Obama becoming the first black president and this Idiot could not mutter a coherent sentence. I felt totally embarrased on his behalf. The doofus just kept repeating the words 'Yeah', 'Like', 'You Get Me' over and over again. The funny thing is that Education up to a certain level is free in the U.K I recently came across an old footage of Tupac being interviewed by a reporter and the dude spoke very fluently. |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by chiogo(f): 8:06pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
^ No wonder they're not known. |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by chic2pimp(m): 8:29pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
chiogo:I tire jare. He was born and bred in england(the country that owns the language) The dude should understand that speaking to your close pals is one thing, while giving interviews to t.v and radio stations is a different thing. It's alright being 'Ghetto', 'Hood', 'Down with G's' afterall the likes of Jayz and Tupac are. However that dude was not being any of those stuffs, he was plain stupid & Daft. |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by sjeezy8: 8:33pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
chic2pimp: hahaha lmfao funny stuvs chiogo: Yessir but my own is actually my last name and I tell everyone to address me by my yoruba name. Taio is a wack for changing it from Tayo to Taio |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by chic2pimp(m): 8:42pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
sjeezy8: TBH, this ain't even funny. It's just plain embarrasing. |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by chiogo(f): 8:47pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
chic2pimp:From what I see, y'all don't seem to own the language. Everybody tryna speak like a Yardie/Jamaican. Like, WTF? And the rest tryna speak with an American accent. lmfao. SMH. sjeezy8:I think it's a UK thing, I know some Nigerians with that name who spell it as Taio. Dunno why. |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by chic2pimp(m): 9:04pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
chiogo:You only hear peeps speak that way in the 'Ghetto Areas'. This is in part due to the fact that many kids have Jamaican parents(you also have many 'wanna be jamos' africans as well) chiogo:Errrr. . . . . . no it's not. The dude just thinks Taio sounds better. |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by chiogo(f): 9:12pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
chic2pimp:LOL, there are lots of Jamaicans here too but I don't see anybody tryna talk like them, people love their music though. chic2pimp:I guess the other people doing it are imitating his "style". |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by sjeezy8: 9:14pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
chiogo: na uk thing chic is telling fibs lmfao Ive noticed that many UK or european Nigerians are weird tho. |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by eldee(m): 9:27pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
chiogo: Have you listened to Keira Knightley speak?? What of Robbie Williams?? Even American celebs try to speak British because it makes you sound more sophisticated. chiogo:The one you hear from Dizzie and Ndubz is the urban London accent that's heavily influenced by the Afro-carribean working class accents. So most times, they're not trying to be Jamaican, they are Jamaican. It spreads just the same way every black teenager in the 90s in America tried to speak with the hiphop accent. The media is influential you know?? |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by Nobody: 9:34pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
Lol, Ndubz and Dizzie Rascal don't have Jamaican accents |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by eldee(m): 9:37pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
ibkaye: To Chiogo, the urban London accent is trying to speak Jamaican. And when they speak BBC English, they're trying to speak American Americans think the earth revolve around them you know |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by shilling(f): 9:39pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
SEFAGO: Yes (duh!!) |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by Nobody: 9:40pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
BBC English? Trying to speak American? I prefer British though, sounds better when we're being sarcastic |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by eldee(m): 9:45pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
ibkaye: It sounds so posh man. I think it's better than America where every street has a different accent. Chiogo speaks with the Cornward Avenue accent. |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by Nobody: 9:48pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
Lol although don't get me wrong, I like American accents too, they sound so giddy |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by chic2pimp(m): 9:54pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
ibkaye:If you tweak their voices a lil bit, they'll sound totally jamaican(especially dappy & dizzie) |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by Nobody: 9:55pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
chic2pimp:You think so? |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by chic2pimp(m): 10:00pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
sjeezy8:How so? If by weird you mean 'Good Looking & Better Dressed' then yes eldee:EXACTLY!!!!! |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by chic2pimp(m): 10:07pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
ibkaye:Yep The next time you hear either dizzie or dappy speak, record it and play it side to side next to a recording of a jamaican and you'll see how alike they sound |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by Nobody: 10:10pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
lol right |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by sjeezy8: 10:41pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
chic2pimp: yea no doubt like this guy Real london boy |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by Nobody: 10:43pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
The Farouk guy messed up but he was and is still a cutie. . .though without a deck! |
Re: Taio Cruz Is A Nigerian. by oyinda3(f): 10:50pm On Jan 30, 2010 |
the guy is using his free will. as a matter of fact, nobody really knows if his dad actually played any role in his life besides impregnating his mom. so in a case like that, i will understand why he doesn't want to claim naija. |
