Golden Globe nominated British-Nigerian actor David Oyelowo will star with Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o in the screen adaptation of Chimamanda Adichie's 'Americanah', this is according to
Variety
Based on the Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie novel, the story follows a pair
of young Nigerian immigrants who face a lifetime of struggle while
their relationship endures.
Brad Pitt is producing through his Plan B production banner along
with Nyong’o and Andrea Calderwood. The film is now looking to attach a writer and director with no production start date set yet.
Oyelowo has a busy end of the year with “Interstellar,” “Selma” and
“A Most Violent Year” all bowing in the last month. He is expected to
be in the Oscars conversation for his performance in “Selma,” and can be
seen next in the indie “Captive” opposite Kate Mara. (Variety.com)

These are the kind of news we want to hear about Nigerians.
Linda, go to Stella Dimoko's blog and take a look at how she did her own giveaway. She made it in such a way that ONLY regular commenters on her blog will benefit and that's just how it should be. Bt this ur own, 90% of the Pple u're dashing money to only appeared here this month. I'm tempted 2 believe u Dnt really Care about ur regular LIBERS sef, only ur 2 favorites (who we all know). U jst post ur giveaways to generate traffic and at the end of d day, u Dnt really give a fuck even if a total stranger who was celebrating on twitter when AYEDEE shut down ur blog gets the money. I'm sure I'm nt d only one who feels like dis. U may nt even read dis, bt jst saying sha.
Wow, nice

Oyelowo is a great actor and so is Lupita. Chimamanda is really soaring high. Talk about following your dream. Congrats to them.
Ok..btw Lupita is looking unusually fresh nowadays. Using whitenicious already?

Am happy for dem

Oyelowo as Obinze makes sense but Lupita as Ifemelu? No way. Adichie should play that role herself.
I used to love reading LIB's comments but now it's just full of email addresses and dry one liners :(

Olleycynthia@yahoo.com
Another dry interpretation of such beautiful work of art...nope...not looking forward to d movie @ all.
Chimamanda Adichie... I hope you read this. They spoilt your Half of a Yellow Sun movie. Don't let them do same with Americannah. Lupita doesn't fit the description of Ifem. She was very beautiful. American media has given this useless perception that beautiful African women look like lupita. We have Genevieve. Biko... Stop this. And they should use a more popular actor than the david guy. The book is too good to be damaged again. Pls let Nigerians take center stage. Not just some supporting roles. Who knows? If our actors do well, they could get the same exposure that lupita is now getting.
Can't wait for this ..its gonna be dope
Mehn big congrats. 'Sergio Frankie'
Nice one there
Yeeeeyyyy!!! Wow. This is great news. Am so happy. Am even happier and very much excited to see that these two will do a great movie together. Mehn! Chimamanda has become a house hold name, sha. Oh so happy!!

Lupita u r really an epitome of beauty. I luv u joor. U so rock. Not like some miss sahara who likes inviting her boobs to attend a show with her.
Wow I am happy for Chiamanda
Just finish reading this book on Friday....I hope they do justice to the book.
Woooooow.... I would love to be among the cast... Americana is such an interesting novel. Anyone who hasn't read this novel is seriously missing something. But how can Lupita act Ifemelu's role because we all know that she got not boobs, and Ifemelu has it in quantum.. just thinking aloud.. way to go Lupita...

Ceiling and ifemelu characters,love me,some Americanah.but lupita doesn't fit the ifemelu character,David I think is cool for ceiling
Okay seen unto the next one
Nicee
@linda please o, who's Lupita playing I hope it's not Ifemelumma cos Ranyinudo will suit her cos Ifem is not Skinny biko and if this guy is going to play obinze He had be do an outstanding Job... For me Chimamanda should spoil the joy of Americanah with a movie...
My Thoughts Exactly Ranyinudo will suit Lupita Ifem wasn't skinny.
Good for them,
Evans you comings here too
