She looks absolutely stunning!

I love her black skin . Thank you for not bleaching it

I love how Onyeka Onwenu is admiring her throughout :) like a proud mum

Absolutely GORGEOUS. That skin is just heavenly. Queen Lupita 👑👑👑

She's so real and honest.

Africans promoting each other, wonderful

Wow.. Her skin actually has a purple shade. Extraordinary..

Nigerian movie industry should stop casting mostly women with bleached skin and wigs then maybe they will not have to complain about Lupita getting such roles.

I loved Americanah as well and felt like I knew every character personally even though I lived all my life is South Africa. I can't wait to see the characters portrayed. Chimamanda is the mistro of telling African stories, specifically Igbo stories. I enjoyed reading Igbo words and pretending to be part of the culture. Seeing her in Johannesburg was the best thing ever. Her honesty about how unfriendly we are as South Africans made me wanna go on stage to hug her for saying it. We could do better much better to appreciate one another as Africans. I was emotional because our ignorance about each other and our lack of curiosity about each other is my pet peeve. I love the grace of the people at the table embracing Lupita and not seeming angry that she is not a Nigerian telling A Nigerian story. She is an actress with the requisite skills and the desire to embody a particular character. Thank you Nigeria and thank you Chimamanda. I would like to teach Lupita isiXhosa in preparation for Born a Crime, the Trevor Noah story. I'm a stickler for the correct Xhosa accent and it's nuances. I can teach that we'll too.

I just love her. She's such a talent. I'm Nigerian and her ibo is waaayyy better than mine🤣🤣🤣

I don’t know if people just wanna be seen but all that movement in the back was annoying 🤦🏾‍♀️

Nupita..,You look Stunning. I love the collaboration with chimamanda..You both are a pride to Africa.

onyeka was acting like a proud stage mama from the background. I go watch watch dis movie for sure!

East meets West!

This is a classic example of a black, confident and proud woman! Did you all see how that glorious black skin is radiating so much beauty? God bless you beautiful young lady🙏

The Outstanding and Fabulously Intricate Miss Nyongo. We Love you and Welcome you. Wishing you much enjoyment and success with your stay in Nigeria 😘

I'm Yoruba,I learnt Igbo in primary school, and still remember 1(otu)-1000(puku)

I fell in love with Amaricanah! Covid19 has delayed so many projects. I just hope I get to see it. Still looking for that man, too!

Read that book over a dozen times. O cannot wait to see the movie. Chimamanda is my only Google alert too. I related very much to the book because it reflected an immigrant's journey. Cried , laughed, wanted to choke some people, pray for others etc. I pray for more collaboration. Please sister get that Ibo elitist accent right o! You will do 👌. 💕

Onyeka Owenu couldn't curtail her excitement. I can't either. I can't wait to see this movie soon...

Stunning Dress👌 Enjoyed how her accents changing as you could see She must have been around Nigerians so are intonations had subtle changes as she spoke. She was among GREATNESS. See the two powerful Ladies at the table with her.

I CAN'T wait for this movie. One of my favorite books!

Wow what a beautiful skin!!Lupita just know I admire you a lot,ur skin is so rich so beautiful. I love ur hairstyles, your smile, ur beauty, wow God wanted to show off when he created you.any man who will get you as a wife is a blessed man.

Buhari is the cause of all the horrible movements at the background 😂😂😂😂

That's our own Kenyan gal

Woooow a Kenyan lady

God pls help Nigeria and Africa and it's people to become Great Again. This is phenomenal. Love you Lupita! 💞 (pls don't do lupita like that with the horrible mic!)

This is so sweet Lupita .. love 💗 you Lady Nyenka

why do people keep moving around 🙄 sit down its distracting

Chaotic on the background. Please sit down.

Such confidence and poise with the way she changed positions- “I move”! Not particularly nice that too many were walking back and forth behind, rather indecorous.

You mean to tell me the person looking into that camera couldn't tell the organizers to tell the people loitering around in the back to beat it????????

I’ve not read Americanah, but I read Adichie’s book ‘Purple Hibiscus’ as I did it for my GCSEs, and I really loved it. The themes of structured, monotheistic religion vs paganism/tribalism, the misogyny and sexism, the way she discusses the violence, all in the context of the war/government in Nigeria, I just loved reading about something different (as a British Pakistani).

I love how the people strolling past in the background are pissing off folks in the comment section 😂,.... live trolls.

She's just beautiful. So eloquent and graceful. A good role model for women everywhere.

We love you so much welcome to Nigeria

Nupita is such a brilliant lady. Wishing her great success and achievement in this journey about Americana. She looks so gorgeous and the very epitome of our African beauty

Welcome Lupita..But how come the microphone was embarassing us?? No one can blame BUHARI or the Nigerian Government for this one oh!!!

That's our gal👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🌠🌠❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

I can't wait, for this...

THE BACKGROUND DISTRACTION IS SO FREAKING ANNOYING! I FELT LIKE SHOVING MY FIST THROUGH THE DAMN SCREEN!!!

She's so brilliant!!! Nothing can be compared to being the best at what you do, striving towards perfection.

Beautiful

My goodness i have never seen so much distraction when a person is talking . That lady in a blue shirt taking pictures.

Very exciting stuff

I went to Nairobi Kenya not too long ago, I swear that I was looking for a woman that looks like Lupita.

My God! She is stunning💖

Absolutely

Beautiful dress. Loved that book.

Shes so beautiful

So gorgeous

I’m Nigerian and I have absolutely no problem with Lupita Nyong’o playing a Nigerian. In fact I think she is a wonderful actress and I am delighted with the choice. Just an idiotic and fake controversy.

She is intelligent and intellectually humble and sound I pray for more of our female child in this world 🌍

Lupita = Dream of Heaven

I love this.... 👌🤗

She is so beautiful... What a beautiful chocolate lady.
