FAMOUS NIGERIAN CELEBRITIRES IN HOLLYWOOD (PART 1)

Рет қаралды 132,579

Күн бұрын

Before afrobeat became global, Hollywood had already been infiltrated with actors and singers who were first generation Nigerians, or Nigerians who relocated to America at some point for greener pastures in the big movie industry. The past two decades have seen a meteoric rise in global celebrities who claims some Nigerian origin. In this video, we highlight 21 famous global celebrities who were either born and raised in Nigeria or born abroad to first generation Nigerian parents. Grab a popcorn and seat back, because this is going to be an entertaining one.

Most populous black and African nation with a vibrant diaspora community spread across the globe. I do not expect less. Nigeria as a nation has not even explored much of its potentials. Just wait a little while for it to get its leadership deficiency right. The crop of young Nigerians coming into the scene are hungry for achievements and global visibility. They "no gree for anybody" (they are unwavering and unyielding to anyone or anything that consistute obstacles to goal attainment). Nigeria will restore the pride and dignity of the black man everywhere. This is a celestial task that it must fulfill. They know this, hence the covert and overt moves to weaken it. But Nigeria shall stand tall and fulfil destiny.

Nah you are wrong, the Popular saying is if you are in a remote village and you don't see an Igbo man there then run for your life. Not all Nigerians. The Hausa do not travel like Yoruba and Yoruba do not travel like Igbo. This is true in the diaspora population and drive. You find Igbo, Yoruba and Edo outside Nigeria.

Dead that Yoruba’s do not travel like Igbo’s narative. We do travel, the difference is we open our eyes when traveling. We avoid some countries unlike the Igbo’s thy travels to any country as long as it’s outside of Africa. You clearly saw that Yorubas dominated this list. How would they dominate if Igbo’s travels the most?

@mungopark1876 5 ай бұрын

What you failed to understand, is that the Yoruba travel out to seek knowledge and skill to improve their lives and territory, while majority of Igbos move out of their native land as a means to an end, i.e to survive. And that's the reason you hear that Igbos are the majority of Nigerians in foreign jails (Source is Nigeria foreign affair ministry) as they -Igbos- will do anything for money. Many are on dead roll in South-east Asia, especially Malaysia and Singapore. Even in Ghanian and South-African jails. This Igbos take uncalculated and unnecessarily risk in tarnishing Nigeria because they want to build in their landlock native land, some miniatures of mansions built by Olu Okeowo, Folurunsho Alakija, Michael Adenuga etc. This Igbos are one people that have no self-respect for themselves. They will ben for anything for survivor. Go see them in Kano, they have all turned into Muslim as Sharia is now the law of the state. Igbo men that use to love palmwine can not go near a bottle of bear anymore because they have to survive in Kano and Zamfara. And I ask, while would any reasonable human being, especially a black person want to go live in Afghanistan? But guess what, there is an association of Igbos "businessmen" in Kabul. And did I hear somebody saying Afghanistan is one of the largest opium grower.

@@rildwanoluwaseyi5322 the fact that Yoruba opens their eyes to travel to some countries confirm my point. Igbo travels to everywhere and they strive there too. The diaspora remittance from the Igbo people in support and investment is 100times more than Yoruba, infact Edo remits more than Yoruba.
