John Boyega In The New Star Wars Movie Has Nigerian Parents by LordReed(op):
I was curious about the name Boyega, it sounded so Yoruba so I googled him and of course his parents are Nigerian!

I was already excited about the new Star Wars movie this makes it even more exciting for me. John Boyega is shaping up to be a big time star like Chinwetel.

I am glad that Nigerian progeny are making something of themselves.

He was in Half of a Yellow Sun, he played the house help of Odenigbo, Ugu.
When I saw him, mheeen he looked too fresh to be Nigerian but still too chiseled to not be Nigerian.

You really need to...
Though I was disappointed in the movie, the act was alright but with regards to the book it was adapted from, the screenplay was not up to par.
Anyway, that boy is pure Talent thats all I can say.
