- Before afrobeat became global, Hollywood had already been infiltrated with actors and singers who were first generation Nigerians, or Nigerians who relocated to America at some point for greener pastures in the big movie industry. The past two decades have seen a meteoric rise in global celebrities who claims some Nigerian origin. In this video, we highlight 21 famous global celebrities who were either born and raised in Nigeria or born abroad to first generation Nigerian parents. Grab a popcorn and seat back, because this is going to be an entertaining one.

Only the real ones will know/remember Sade Adu. She was a real Talent and a phenomenal artist. 👏 👏
She still is.
She still is...
Saw Sade at the Hollywood Bowl. I just lost a friend that was Nigerian.
Most populous black and African nation with a vibrant diaspora community spread across the globe. I do not expect less.
Nigeria as a nation has not even explored much of its potentials. Just wait a little while for it to get its leadership deficiency right.
The crop of young Nigerians coming into the scene are hungry for achievements and global visibility. They "no gree for anybody" (they are unwavering and unyielding to anyone or anything that consistute obstacles to goal attainment). Nigeria will restore the pride and dignity of the black man everywhere. This is a celestial task that it must fulfill. They know this, hence the covert and overt moves to weaken it. But Nigeria shall stand tall and fulfil destiny.
I am not Nigerian but you forgot Damson Idris, David Olusoga, Chiwetel's Sister Zain Asher CNN News Anchor, British Former MP Chukwu Umunna and the British singer Taio Cruz (Adetayo Ayowale Onile-Ere).
I think this list is the one he knows
And Dave, UK rapper
👍
Even Asa, singer.
Akinyele, Ugo, Mode9, Magum, many rappers are still missing 😢
I never knew some of these guys were Nigerian. Naija to the world 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks a lot for watching and commenting
You not a Nigerian then
Fr same Omo 🇳🇬🇳🇬💪💯

I love my Nigerian people no dey carry last
Wow Nigeria is truly popular country full of blessings ❤️❤️❤️
Some years to come don't be surprised to see more Nigerians in their entertainment industry.
80% of the black Americans are Nigerians with majority from the Yoruba nation. I am so proud of my Yoruba heritage. We are the light of the world.
Lies 😂😂😂 80% of black Americans are igbos and calabar
💛💛💛💛👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾🤴🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Not true.
80% how 🙄
@@lolaadesina5362 Pls take that question as your next research work. It's called contribution to knowledge in an academic world.
Dont forgot Ore Oduba
British television News caster and presenter.😊.
Thank you for this! Still missing quite a few like Yvonne Orji , Idris..
Well done for your list 👌🏽👍🏽
How about “Lemar” Obika?
Talents everywhere and every angle. I swear na just our government dey fuck up!
It takes time . The pot is still boiling.
WOW, Nigeria got Talent!. Very Informative and smooth video ❤
When Adewale came up, im surprised OZ (as Simon Adebisi) and Bourne Identity (as Mr Wombosi) were not mentioned, being where most over the age of 35 would have first been introduced to him.
You forgot to add, Sam adegoke from the hit series dynasty.. Good job by the way
David Ajala is conspicuously absent from the list! Known for his roles in Black Night, Fast and Furious 6, and various British movies and dramas.
No mention of Koleoso's Brothers either.
I met Richard Ayoade in person and his beautiful family, he is so good looking!
NIGERIA to the world.
Wah about damson idris
Feels good to be a Nigerian 🇳🇬
String-pulling the 'unknown' to the fore. Some more inspiration.
Nice information. Smooth presentation.
🙏
Nice one there. I remember that number 1 guy in the series - Silo 😆
Very impressive, i am so glad i found out about all these amazing people are Nigerians! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This list still missing a lot of people , like Yvonne orji and Co
Very interesting and educational. Nice that these actors/actresses are global. Recognize a few but never thought they Nigerians❤
No mention of Ariyon Bakare?
You forgot Yvonne Orji, very talented actress and comedian
I’m speechless 😮
Nigerians are go getters, hardworkers and yearn for success
The pronunciation is Laygos and not Lahgos. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
The root of the name / word is Portuguese and it's pronounced, "Lahgos", which metamaphorsed to "Laygos", as most Nigerians would call it!!!
Ghana let’s line up here and cry
😂
What's wrong with you? Why always bring up division?
Nigerians are blessed with art, culture, and craft, 🇳🇬
Don’t mess with Nigerians, We are a great nation

God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬 our leaders are the problems we have. We got so many talents why are we so poor it’s time to investigate.
No be every post una go use complain about government.. una no dey shame
@@pluggedscope3007I just tire. Many Nigerians are still mumu to know that it rains everywhere.
Singing and dancing alone does not change the economic fortunes of a country, unfortunately. We need to do more.
@@pluggedscope3007
Exactly. I am already tired of the way some Nigerians complain on every post about their government. I dey shame for them sef. As if na only our government corrupt. Them go just dey wash their dirty linings in public. Make them point the country when corruption no dey.
It takes time .
Damson Idris was shown with Adewale but was not mentioned
Thanks for the video

God has blessed us and nothing will keep us down, not even the difficulties that surround us.❤
I was reading the comments with happiness till i saw tribalistic dispute, i didn't bother to finish up the video. Shame
Ignore small minded people. They are not worth it
You forget Seal

Damson Idris from snowfall?
Yes
Naija❤❤❤❤❤

You did not Include Seal
You featured clips of damson idris put didn't mention him? How about Kanye West
I particularly like that most have native Nigeria names. Had to edit because I didn't see Dave and Icespice on the list
Icespice ke ? 😂👀
@@x_jeremyseal_x yes na, her name is actually "NAIJA"
I had no ideas #1 was Nigerian😅cause I didn’t know her name. I’ve seen R Ayode at a restaurant I did say help tho.
Richard is in krapopolis🥴😻
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nigeria let's go!
Yes they do. An amazing group of people
A blessed nation. Sam Adegoke of Dynasty is missing from the list
🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Best breeds of human ever
Naija for sure
Where's NaS?
Tion wayne dave etc
Moses Adetutu
Zendaya also has Nigerian roots, I think her dad is yoruba
Oba Femi Omos and Apollo Crews on the wrestling side are Nigerians as well
You forgot to mention Adepero Oduye
Calvin Harris is not mentioned here
Me watching this being proud of the names although they all pronounced terribly wrong
What about tion wayne,dave and skepta they are Nigerians
Dave is not here
Damien Idris is also Nigerian
There’s way more
You missed out SEAL
They wouldn't have come through if they were born in Nigeria
Exactly what i said! If they were born in Nigeria, it wouldn't have been easy for them.
What of Damson Idris?? 🙄🙄
You did not include zendaya.
The Great Yoruba's. 🇳🇬
That is great tomorrow someone will say all tribes in Nigeria is equal when they don't go any where this is only yoruba in uk
@denniskcobi3470 tribalism kill una two head. Like, say na only yoruba get nigeria
@@kennyking5606 when you see a fool fooling himself thinking he is wise where as known nothing but fool
@@kennyking5606 what is the meaning of Nigeria in ur language
@@kennyking5606 how will tribalism kill me when iam not blocking them or taking their land or talking down against them instead this tribe is doing well
I don't get you at all.All black Americans they originally from West Africa .So we can't even start to nominate any
Not all from West Africa but most...their features tells.
Still not complete. No Drake, No Chamillionaire, No 21 Savage, No Lil Wayne, No Bukayo Saka, the list goes on and on
You forgot Wesley Snipes
Claudia! I've said it before, but I won't say it again. Please STOP 'exposing your belly' trying to rationalize with people like Michelle Brown. It's not only impossible, it is not your plight in life.
The real answer to that say is if you find yourself in a place you did not see IGBO BIAFRA TRIBE PERSON find your way out not Nigeria without meaning don't give hope or tomorrow
Una too get problem. Must u bring tribal bigotry? Abi Na only Igbo u see listed in the video? 😏 Osinwin eda
@@adenijisolomon9531 you can give what you don't know you only give it to those who know it instead fools who don't know but always think their know it
@@adenijisolomon9531 when you see a fool you will know fooling himself thinking he is wise where as known nothing
@@adenijisolomon9531 yoruba tribe and their hates against IGBO BIAFRA TRIBE have kept yoruba tribe and other tribes in evil Nigeria without meaning primitive and poor backwardnes in every thing in human life till today, this is a God given gifts to igbo biafra tribe is not their making or what they want to copy from others and said they are with them yoruba tribe continue your hates why we igbo biafra tribe continue making a good remarkable
@@adenijisolomon9531 thank God who creates tribe and give them their language and names, in Nigeria without meaning yoruba tribe and hausa fulani northerners and edo benin cry and fool themselves when the hear the name or identity or language of a tribe God created thank God iam IGBO BIAFRA TRIBE MY NAME AND IDENTITY
As a Nigerian and a black person hearing you say diversity like a hundred times LIKE ITS SOME ACHIEVEMENT, is cringe and disgusting.
In every situation, position or endeavor THE BEST PERSON FOR THE ROLE should be cast or hired without bias.
Irrespective of race, gender colour of skin, religion or sexual orientation. Period!
Enough of all this diversity bullshit.
