Congrats Chiwetel. Pls, don't let your children have niadator genes in them, by marrying oyibo. We Africans are the pure human race. Look for an African lady. Linda is available and she likes you.

Congrats for making Nigeria proud bro. Naija is the next big thing. Nigerians are representing anywhere they are. So many Nigerians are yet to realise that Nigeria soonest will be among the richest,prosperous and greatest countries in the world. Those that can see through the future have seen it. Nigerians are doing well in every field, everywhere in the world, sports, entertainment,music,business,professionals,etc. Americans use to criticise us but 2day all the american A-list artists have all performed here in Nigeria and many are still coming. Pple are now relocating from abroad back to Nigeria to setup businesses. We are the future mehn. Am proud to be a Nigerian.

Congrats to the star (Chiwetel). I'm not sure why everybody seems to want to put pictures of him and gf (arm piece) when the story is clearly about him and his success. I believe this relationship was arranged by his handler. I''ve seen their comings and going to red carpet events and she look so unsure of herself. Also, what happen to him this is not the first Becky he's dated but he kept those relationships under wraps and didn't want to discuss his personal life now he's telling the world about this Becky. Where's everyone getting this actress/ model from. Ok! Grant it she's done some modeling she's no Top model as for acting that's what she's hang on to him for so he can help boost her career.

He is handsome and has been in the Western world for a long time. It would be so nice if he were gay. With this new anti-gay law, what cheer it would give gays to feel he is one of us. But women still continue to carry off the best men. Sad!

Anonymous said...

Rosie Said.....Well deserved award.....Way to go Chiwetel.But pls hook up with one of our own,these"Onyibo" are always holding onto the best of us. Genevive Nnaji is there,Linda Ikeji is there also and soooo many high achieveing Nija babes.Pls make us smile broadly.

Congrats chiwetel, you really deserved it. And dat movie "12yrs a slave" awesome

Amaka said...

Lol Kelly he's not Nigerian. He has Nigerian parents but has no links here. His parents don't even live here. Nigerians get carried away and call people like that Nigerians in diaspora whereas when they are interviewed, they say stuff like "I am British, from Nigerian parents."
