Gini K'I Siri?!

Forrest Whitaker is Igbo?? As he said it on Oprah, I didn't know when I started clapping on my couch (apparently there were some Igbos in the audience that had the same idea). So now all you Nigerians that like to claim celebrities by force, you can be fully claming the guy with impunity! Biko, leave Nas (Nasruddin) and Ne-Yo (Niyi) alone...they are not Yoruba. And all of you who were stretching to claim R. Kelly as Igbo because of his accent in one song (i.e. "Do you mind if I stroke you up?/Ah-don min'/Do you mind if I stroke you down?/Ah don min'!"), leave that mess behind you. We have authentic, Igbo blood in Hollywood!!!! WHOOOOO!!! I'm sure Adaure will be throwing a party on her spot today!

Sadly, he just had to be mixed with the Ghanaians. He's part Akan as well...damn! But the Igbo blood comes from his father's side, and we all know that father's blood is the reddest. Forrest Whitaker is Naija...whooooo!!!! I wonder if he'll visit, now that he knows...

lol...makossa rap video. oprah seemed to certainly have heard of nigeria before o, but one does not know whether to be happy about that yet, because maybe all she knows is the 419 horror stories they tell her in South Africa! as well all know, the "Shakas" hate us well well....

er, cuz we suck?! all they know about nigerians is that they go to their country to do 419 and peddle drugs and ruin their own culture and people. not cool. tip for your next trip to SA: develop an accent and pretend to be someone else until they like you and ONLY after that should you reveal that you are nigerian. it works quite well.
