If you want to argue about something, don't just argue based on how you feel, don't argue just because you hate someone, instead do your research and argue with facts. This is something that I learnt 35 years ago.
It's amazing that people are arguing about Cynthia Erivo's nationality, yet none of them have taken the time to find out how she feels about the subject.
This movie feels like a Tarantino film and I was a bit surprised to see a certain 'Drew Goddard' when the credits began rolling at the end.
Not too much dialogue, lots of flashbacks that make the plot seem non-linear when it actually isn't, lovely old songs, an abundance of shocking bursts of graphic violence and thankfully little profanity make this movie one of the most engaging I've watched this year.
And the ending!
Oh, the ending.... The climactic scene, Miles' selflessness and Dock O'Kelly's little play acting for the young man's benefit almost made me shed tears.
Trivia- The actress who played 'Darlene Sweet' is a Nigerian

Good God! Is this what's causing all the ruckus??
Anybody that's born to Nigerian parents is automatically a Nigerian. It doesn't matter if they have another nationality or if they have a passport or not. Examples include Nneka Ogwumike, Victor Oladipo and Chinny Ogwumike.The only question is whether either of their parents is Nigerian.
The person only ceases to be a Nigerian if he or she renounces their Nigerian citizenship and there's a procedure for renouncing Nigerian citizenship and that's spelt out in the constitution.
So, all you need to prove is whether either of her parents is Nigerian or not.
Second picture: Cynthia Erivo wishing her mother a happy mother's day.
Ps. It seems you have a lot of enemies here who want to oppose you at all cost, regardless of whether it makes sense or not.
Logic007: And did the original comment state that she is nigerian by birth to Nigerian parents?
Please, stop speaking through madam's panties. It is difficult to understand things that way.
Good God!
1) I quoted Ishilove who posted about a person being born to Nigerian parents. I posted a section of the constitution that states who a citizen of Nigeria is.
2) You quoted me out of the blue and stated that a person needed to have a Nigerian passport to be a Nigerian and you cited Obama as an example. That is totally false! You do not need to have a Nigerian passport to be a Nigerian.
The constitution states that a person is Nigerian by birth if either of the person's parents is Nigerian. You don't need a passport to be Nigerian, it is the circumstance of your birth that determines if you are Nigerian. There are many people in Nigeria who have lived to old age without getting a Nigerian passport. It doesn't mean that they are not Nigerian.
Anyway, I am reporting your post because of the insult in it and I shall not respond to any of your posts any longer. I'll simply report them if they break the rules.
abdulkayus: naptu2, this Aisha tall oooo, I read that she is 1.93m (193cm) in height. Omo mehn, she go dwarf many guys be that. Not surprised her husband is also a basketballer. Pls, do u have more information about her husband, his name, age, pic state of origin and where he played.
@bold. She's the first Nigerian to win 3 Afrobasket titles (2003, 2005 and 2017) and she has attended 2 world cups (2006 and 2018). She was the captain of D'Tigress until last year when she was stripped of the captainship after fighting with another player during their pre-world cup camp in the US.
She said that her husband is a basketballer, but she didn't mention his name, but the only Nigerian basketballer that I know that is named Balarabe is Bashir Balarabe from Katsina (he is based in the US).
Ishilove: Emm, so if my parents are Nigerians but I was born and raised in Togo, that automatically erases my Nigerian ancestry?
Hian, awon internet diplomats. Smh.
No one should quote me abeg. I can't deal with fuckery on the first working day of the week.
I'm going to quote you.
Note the 2 subsections in bold.

Title favourites advance to #AfroBasketWomen Quarter-Finals
DAKAR (Senegal) - Hosts Senegal, reigning champions Nigeria, Mali and Mozambique have booked their places in the Quarter-Finals of the 26th edition of the FIBA Women's AfroBasket.
Defending champions Nigeria made light work of Cameroon 106-39 on Tuesday in a one-sided tie .
Four players scored 14 points apiece including captain Adaora Elonu, Aisha Balarabe, debutant Promise Amukamara and Ify Ibekwe while point guard Ezinne Kalu added 12 points to inspire Nigeria to the biggest win at this tournament so far.
This performance was a statement of intent from the West Africans who bossed the paint picking an incredible 54 rebounds as compared to Cameroon's 18. Of the 54, Elonu picked eight while Evelyn Akhator made it her business to get seven to her name.
Nigeria led 17-0 in the first quarter before Cameroon somewhat found their feet to finally score but even then the gulf in class was visibly evident. The Lionesses body language said it all amidst their own self-inflicted shocking performance.
Nigeria led 49-23 at the half time break and resumed play in the third quarter with the same intensity that they started the game with. They executed a full court press and completely sent the Cameroon guards into disarray much to the shock of head coach Natosha Cummings-Price who could not believe her eyes.
Ibekwe, Balarabe and Atonye Nyingifa wore their hearts on their sleeves and threw everything on court and in the same spirit Kalu was immense at the top.
In the end, Nigeria was too strong for their neighbours Cameroon who had no answers to all the questions D'Tigress threw at them throughout the game.
LOIN OF DUTY Met Police ‘poster girl’ faces sack for ‘having sex’ on Nigerian Big Brother after being told not to take part

POLICE poster girl Khafi Kareem defied her bosses to appear in a series of steamy romps on TV.
The PC, who once stood alongside Met Commissioner Cressida Dick to promote female and black recruitment, was told not to take part in Nigeria’s Big Brother.
But the 29-year-old had already been granted unpaid leave and joined the show, where she has romped three times with businessman Ekpata Gedoni, 31.
Their romance has viewers gripped but she is facing an investigation by the Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards.
One colleague said: “She’s a serving British police officer — it’s outrageous. She asked permission to go on the show but, when her request was refused, she went anyway.
“Her out-of-office email reply blatantly says that she is away from work, yet no one does anything.
“Other officers working with her are furious that she can just disobey orders then swan off the Africa and tarnish the reputation of the force.”
Former bit-part actress and shop assistant Khafi joined the Met as a PC based at Lambeth station in 2015 after working part-time as a special constable for four years.
She was inspired to sign up after a 16-year-old pal was stabbed to death but has spoken out against police stop-and-search tactics.
POLICE CHIEF’S FURY
The PC, who earns about £30,000 a year, was pictured with Ms Dick and other female officers celebrating 100 years of women in the Met last November.
Khafi, who speaks French, Italian and her native Yoruba, worked as a translator and a spotter for a female genital mutilation team looking for possible victims at airports.
But she was said to have been moved after clashes with colleagues.
After being granted unpaid leave, she asked to go on Nigeria’s Big Brother but her request was refused.
Nonetheless, pictures appeared on websites promoting Big Brother Naija: Pepper Dem showing the PC in her uniform while she is billed as a talented dancer and singer.
Publicity material says: “Police officer Khafi Kareem believes that you can have it all if you believe in yourself. She is not only hoping to win the prize money but she wants the exposure that being in Big Brother Naija House brings so that she can do societal good.”
AXE OVER ROMP
Fans of the show, which began on June 30, have been eagerly following her fling with Ekpata.
Nigerian news websites have published video of the pair bucking and moaning beneath the sheets.
One article said: “There are now fears that Khafi may leave Big Brother Naija House pregnant as she and lovebird Gedoni continued their sizzling romance. The cameras caught them for the third time overnight as other housemates were dead asleep.
“The footage, now trending, showed the lovebirds moving their bodies in ecstasy under the sheets.
“Gedoni and Khafi first romped in the house on Saturday, July 20 and then again on Tuesday, July 23.
“And pregnancy can occur since the housemates still have about 70 days left in the house.”
Her TV appearances have left colleagues unimpressed. Another Met source said: “There should be no way back for her from this and her superiors will have to act.
It’s hard to see how can she argue that she hasn’t brought the force into disrepute
- Met Source
“She fitted the mould perfectly for how the modern force wants to portray itself but seems to have got a bit too big for her boots.
“It’s hard to see how can she argue that she hasn’t brought the force into disrepute.”
The Met said she was on unpaid leave granted “for an unrelated reason” before being refused permission to appear on the show.
A Met spokesman said last night: “The Met is aware that the officer has since appeared on the show without authority. The Directorate of Professional Standards has been informed and will be carrying out an investigation into the circumstances.
“The Met does not support the officer’s appearance nor does she represent the Met whilst appearing on the show.
“All officers have a duty to behave with professionalism and in a manner that does not bring the Met into disrepute whether on or off duty.
“Those who do not behave professionally risk breaching police standards of professional behaviour, and may be dealt with by way of misconduct proceedings.”
HIGH-FLYING RECRUIT
When she was pictured with Ms Dick last year, Khafi told The Guardian: “I didn’t want any career to be off-limits to me because I was a female, or a black female.”
In March, the high-flying recruit was invited to the West End premier of Captain Marvel alongside Deputy Commissioner Lucy D’Orsi.
She revealed at the time she was inspired to join the force after school pal Kodjo Yenga, 16, was murdered by a gang for straying on their turf in Hammersmith in 2007.
She said: “I was devastated and in shock and disbelief. It wasn’t until the media started writing about it and flowers were left at the scene that it really came home to me.”
“I want to make a difference instead of shouting on the sidelines.
“How will racial abuse change if people do not stand up for other cultures? I wanted to be part of the solution.”
In addition to her police work, Khafi tweets and writes travel blog A Cup of Khafi.
Her Twitter account also actively promotes her participation in the Nigerian show.
Asked what she would do with the £50,000 prize money if she won, she made no mention of returning to the Met.
Instead, she told producers: “I will hire a film crew and host a travel show going to every state in Nigeria showcasing the tourist beauty spots. I would also invest in charitable causes.”
henryhemon: I guess she isn't a core northerner then.
Her father's from the north. He was an imam in the Nigerian Army. Her husband is also a northerner (he's also a basketballer). Her mum is Edo, but she grew up at the Ikeja Cantonment.
