American Singer and Songwriter, famous for hit songs like 1,2 Steps and Goodies, Ciara, is now a Beninese Citizen after tracing her ancestry to the country, she was conferred the citizenship on Friday in Cotonou, the capital of Benin Republic.

Nice. One who isn’t Ghanaian, Senegalese, Nigerian or Gambian. A huge number of them are Gambians. It shocked me.

They know what is in Nigeria, Rihanna we never see her till now after her íbó claim

All these American people claiming African ancestry after all used up and washed out is looking like some money laundering and vices shits (child trafficking, sexual perversion, asset hiding and scamming etc )

How come they never did it when very young or in their prime?🤔🙄🙄🙄

What do I even know self?🤷

Some small African countries are where shits goes down and nobody bites any eyelid

When they are in their prime. They rubbish Africa and its roots, culture, etc.

When they are old and washed up, they start clinching. Looking for ways to escape US when it becomes toxic for them or when financial burden becomes real

The last time I heard about her was in the 1990s

This her priority was misplaced

Why is she so excited tracing her roots to a country that she wouldn't even contribute meaningfully to?


Misplaces priorities...

Identity is powerful, and also profitable, and it seems the older you get, the more important identity becomes.

Ghana cashed out and is still cashing out with their year of return. Lagos joined the party last year with detty December.

It's a trend that's still building up steam.

Rihanna never said that she is Ibo. It was just rumours which ain't true.

Nah! Her mother is from Guyana an English speaking South American country.

Her ancestors were most likely one of those sold by Efunroye Tinubu, druggie's great grandmother. It's good of her to acknowledge her African roots.

Rihanna is actually a Barbadian (Bajan) and she represents her country openly.
