Golden Globes nominees and Nigerian actor Chiwetel Ejiofor on the Ellen DeGeneres Show where he talks about Hollywood response to his name and his movie '12 Years A Slave'...Enjoy ladies...
Very soon he will say he supports homosexuality. But, on another note, when you hear homos defending their right to love, you would think anything sensible could come from rubbish relationships like theirs. That was until ellen revealed her divorce or whatever. Can't help but laugh. Mwaha.
Linda he just told us that he isn't a Nigeria; that his parents are Nigerian while he is a Londoner. With that said, can u now stop calling him a Nigerian or Nigerian actor. He doesn't regard himself a Nigerian. It's time we stops claiming those who don't clam us.
pls Chiwetel Ejiofor is not a "Nigerian Actor" He is British Nigerian who is an actor. there is a difference. we do not see him in posters standing next to ramsey nouah and tonto dikeh with the title "CALAMITY AWAITS, buy ya copy now!!!. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE !!!!!!!!. thank you :)
he is a great actor and I love the movie every bit of it, almost cried while watching it... I Have watch Chiwetel Ejiofor on David leterman show and he said the meaning of Chiwetel is God brings, but doesn't known the meaning of Ejiofor...Please peps what is the meaning..
Whether we like it or not, he is not a Nigerian actor. He is British. Ramsey Nouah and Jim Iyke are Nigerian actors. Chiwetel was born and raised in the UK. He just has Nigerian parents and that's it. When those 2 black boys killed a soldier in woolwich, Nigerians were disowning him but now everyone wants to claim Chiwetel. Pls don't bite me o. Just saying it as it is......
Shut up. Bitter ol' hag. It's got somthng to do wiv ladies coz we swoon over dis man 1. Coz he's hawt! n 2. Coz he's Nigerian n hot n in Hollywood. We r allowed to swoon, it dsnt mke us shallow. We still see d deeper lesson of d movie. So piss off! Bck to Chiwetel....mmmm *dreamy eyes*

Linda linda for the 10000th times, Chiwetel is not a Nigeria actor, he's a British actor, no one refers to him as Nigeria actor here, only you, so pls stop it. His parents are Nigeria, yes, but his parents live their lives in London before they had him, Chiwetel was born and he live all his life in London. He's not Nigeria period.
Simple as ABC. I don't know why we always like to jump to claim people that don't claim us. I refuse to acknowledge him as Nigerian from This day forth Co's I heard it from him directly.
Gbam. Well said na so. That is what the Uk "England" did when we almost bit their heads calling those woolwich killers Nigerians but Bristish born and during Olympic the Nigerians wen win for them em call them Bristish. Una see life haha.. all human beings re d same o . I ve travelled far and wide and presently living in canada , trust me i don see every haha....
Before nko. Nigeria na country. He is an Adult and a citizi of both country if he like he choose one. He has lived all his life abroad and still answer Nigeria name many pple live in NIgeria then go they form white them don change theirn name since to oyibo name rubbish. Dis guy too much jare.he shows he is a proud nija man abeg make una give am some credit.
That na you sabi. Who be you? Rubbish. When that woolwich killing happen you no say them no be Nija them why accept this one. Abeg park . The guy still dey even answer he local name he neva even change to English name wen many pple living in Nija they claim oyibo name hisssing. You re entitle to your own opinon he no send you even me.Nigeria na country self hisssing.
Wetin concern you. Na ur piki. Dis is a grow up man you re talking about here. Abi he change he name like you. Wetin be Cheezy self sure you wen dey Nigeria don change ur name.check your self before you correct anoda person. He is a free man ok.
12yrs a slave, Ȋ̝̊̅§ so so emoional, I cried most of the time through d movie. Slavery Ȋ̝̊̅§ such a terrible thing. Chiwetel did justice to d movie! Congrats to him on d golden globe win
I watched "12 years a slave" just before Christmas, it is one fucked up movie.It tells the story of slavery like no other.I cant believe the things they did to slaves back then.As for Chiwetel Ejiofor,the man was born and raised in east London by Igbo parents.Chances are that he doesn't know where Nigeria is on the map,so what makes him Nigerian?The guy is British,or maybe British Nigerian. For those who don't know Igbo,Chiwetel (short for Chukwu wetel) means "from God" or "that which God brought" while Ejiofor(a very common surname) can be loosely translated as "He who holds a sacred debt"
@unknown, thank you so much for that comment. i was just thinking d same thing here. iv met alot of ppl here in the U.S that make the same comment "im American but my parents are nigerian" honestly that generally doesnt make any sense to me. but anyways, wat u sed is right. let us stop claiming people that dont claim us. so correction Linda he is an English actor.
YOU GUYS ARE ALL HYPOCRITES. When it is Abdulmutallab you will say 'No! he grew up in london! he is not Nigerian!' When it is Michael Adebayor that hacks a british soldier to death you will 'No na! he is only Nigerian by name! He is british, he grew up there!' But when it's an oscar nominated actor...you all start claiming him. He is not Nigerian. Period
I hope Genevieve will watch interviews like this so she can learn how to relay an integral part of history. Her interview on half if a yellow sun was a big shame
Which nigerians? Does he sound like ur next door neighbor? He was born and bred in the uk thus he is a british man breaking I to hollywood and this is not his first movie in hollywood just the most recent.
Pls you guys should just stop insulting the guy. He said the truth, he not a nigerian. He is right he was born in the UK probably never been to nigeria.
He just got his roots from nigeria. Do you think if as born in Nigeria he will get that movie roll? Hell no!
Hes an Idiot, hes not from london,Brad pit and angelina jolies children were born in africa they will never say they are africans. They will say they are americans, even the UK will say hes a british born nigerian..bloody idiot....mscheeeewww

Ho my days, abeg! Let's call a spade a spade, the guy is not proud to be a Nigerian. Period. If Nigeria were to be like USA, he won't hestitate to claim he is a Nigerian. Period.

Cynic*Igbo*Guy
Funmi, Don't stab me oh.. But he's got really cute hands. I like guys wish cute gentle hands like that :)winks.
Chiwetel Ejiofor there is nothing wrong to say you are Nigerian. My niece is British , but she always says she is Nigerian. Anyway , thumbs up
@unknown, thank you so much for that comment. i was just thinking d same thing here. iv met alot of ppl here in the U.S that make the same comment "im American but my parents are nigerian" honestly that generally doesnt make any sense to me. but anyways, wat u sed is right. let us stop claiming people that dont claim us. so correction Linda he is an English actor.

CHIWETE not CHIWETEL is a BRITISH citizen...NOT BRITISH...British people are white people, born in Britain makes you a BRITISH CITIZEN period!
Pls you guys should just stop insulting the guy. He said the truth, he not a nigerian. He is right he was born in the UK probably never been to nigeria.
He just got his roots from nigeria. Do you think if as born in Nigeria he will get that movie roll? Hell no!
He said he's London born of Nigerian descent. What more could he say to acknowledge his roots? Good interview from a seemingly gentle soul
excellent interview
why are people bothered about if he is nigerian or not...geez
Choi.... Chiwetel denied naija.... lmao. I am still a HUGE fan regardless....
Hes an Idiot, hes not from london,Brad pit and angelina jolies children were born in africa they will never say they are africans. They will say they are americans, even the UK will say hes a british born nigerian..bloody idiot....mscheeeewww
