    Chiwetel is kind of a big deal at the moment, Linda. He's getting Oscar buzz for his role in 12 Years a Slave. The movie and his performance hv been released to massive critical acclaim.

    Well yes Linda it would be a big deal for you (I say that in the most polite way fyi) and we would be proud of you. But Chiwetel is a Hollywood actor. She interviews actors all the time so I'm confused. Please don't be deceived by the "Nigerian /UK" label we seem to have forced on him. He's not a stranger to Hollywood and I'm pretty sure he's identified as (and identifies himself as) a British actor.

    David Oyelowo, one of the actors in the movie - The Butler - was interviewed by Oprah some months ago. He is also a good Nigerian actor and actually shared a great joke about his Nigerian mother.

    Apart from his name this guy don't even relate himself as a Nigeria, its no big deal for him, he is a hollywood actor n has been in high profiles movies. Linda pls stop for the Nigerian thing on him. Once in an Oscar award, he identified himself as British. Its a big deal for Genny bcos she is a nollywood act
