You sure it's not this _stupid thing Nigerians do where they're cousins but call themselves brother and sister? What kind of _stupid name is 'Zain'? A Nigerian can't answer that talk less of Iya mmiri them. I can understand Asher being the family name of her white spouse but Zain being her first name?! |

Ok more international celebrities you didnt know were Igbos Bishop T. D Jakes: In the 2003 PBS program African American Lives, Bishop T.D. Jakes had his DNA analyzed; his Y chromosome showed that he is descended from the Igbo. Read his biography on Wikipaedia. Forest Whitetaker Have you ever watched, The Last King of Scotland? The guy that acted as IDI Amin-Forest Whitetaker is a confirmed Igbo man. According to Wikipadia, " Whitaker said that a genetic test indicated he was of Igbo descent through his patrilineal line" On April 6, 2009, he was given a chieftaincy title in Imo State, Nigeria. Whitaker, who was named a chief among the Igbo community of Nkwerre, was given the title Nwannedinamba of Nkwerre, which means A Brother in a Foreign Land.

I have always loved & respected Chiwetel Ejiofor ever since I watched “Four Brothers” A 2005 American action movie directed by John Singleton. The movie stars Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, Andre Benjamin(of Outcast) & Garrett Hedlund. Chiwetel Ejiofor's astounding role in that movie made me proud of Nigeria, although he played a villain but the movie is definitely off the hinges for sheezy! 2 Likes 2 Shares
