As far as the Tunde guy playing a Nigerian, it is acting. He doesn't need to be a Nigerian to play a Nigerian. Not in america. The is an American audience. To the American audience, black or white, it is of no consequence. Now if this Tunde guy, who by the way, is a fine Haitian, was playing a Nigerian for a purely Nigerian audience, then maybe y'all got a beef. Be glad that you are being mentioned at all for something other than 419 and things.

The woman who wrote and directed the film is of Ethiopian ancestry. Ethopia is not too close to Nigeria. Should a non-Nigerian filmmaker write a script about other Africans? Why did not she focus on her own people, rather than Nigerians.
