- 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.
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 😢
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 never knew some of these guys were Nigerian. Naija to the world 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks a lot for watching and commenting

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.
Wah about damson idris
This list still missing a lot of people , like Yvonne orji and Co
What i love about Nigerians they will never give up thier native names for nothing 😅

Feels good to be a Nigerian 🇳🇬
NIGERIA to the world.
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!
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.
I’m speechless 😮
You forgot Yvonne Orji, very talented actress and comedian
Nigerians are go getters, hardworkers and yearn for success
Very impressive, i am so glad i found out about all these amazing people are Nigerians! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
String-pulling the 'unknown' to the fore. Some more inspiration.
Nice information. Smooth presentation.
🙏
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!!!
Very interesting and educational. Nice that these actors/actresses are global. Recognize a few but never thought they Nigerians❤
Nice one there. I remember that number 1 guy in the series - Silo 😆
Nigeria my country ❤

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 .
God has blessed us and nothing will keep us down, not even the difficulties that surround us.❤
This gave me so much pride !!
this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Thanks for the video

You forget Seal
Damson Idris from snowfall?
Yes

and many more mentioned in the comment section
Oga! U fail to include NAS. Heard He's a Nigerian.
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
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"
Naija❤❤❤❤❤
You did not Include Seal
Richard is in krapopolis🥴😻

Yes they do. An amazing group of people
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.
You featured clips of damson idris put didn't mention him? How about Kanye West
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A blessed nation. Sam Adegoke of Dynasty is missing from the list
Best breeds of human ever

Oba Femi Omos and Apollo Crews on the wrestling side are Nigerians as well
Tion wayne dave etc
You forgot to mention Adepero Oduye

Moses Adetutu
Zendaya also has Nigerian roots, I think her dad is yoruba
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.
Calvin Harris is not mentioned here
There’s way more
Me watching this being proud of the names although they all pronounced terribly wrong

Still not complete. No Drake, No Chamillionaire, No 21 Savage, No Lil Wayne, No Bukayo Saka, the list goes on and on
What of Damson Idris?? 🙄🙄
You did not include zendaya.
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.
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
You forgot Wesley Snipes
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
Yorubas dominated the list as always.
Why are people like you suffering from complex?
What does that mean? All I see are Nigerians making Nigeria proud.
How many yoruba is there 😂😂 edo and igbos are there too
Una don start with this una ethnicity. They are all Nigerians jare.
No Yorubas didn’t, but your are listening with your bigoted mind, that’s why you think so
Nah you are wrong, the Popular saying is if you are in a remote village and you don't see an Igbo man there then run for your life. Not all Nigerians.
The Hausa do not travel like Yoruba and Yoruba do not travel like Igbo. This is true in the diaspora population and drive. You find Igbo, Yoruba and Edo outside Nigeria.
Dead that Yoruba’s do not travel like Igbo’s narative. We do travel, the difference is we open our eyes when traveling. We avoid some countries unlike the Igbo’s thy travels to any country as long as it’s outside of Africa. You clearly saw that Yorubas dominated this list. How would they dominate if Igbo’s travels the most?
What you failed to understand, is that the Yoruba travel out to seek knowledge and skill to improve their lives and territory, while majority of Igbos move out of their native land as a means to an end, i.e to survive. And that's the reason you hear that Igbos are the majority of Nigerians in foreign jails (Source is Nigeria foreign affair ministry) as they -Igbos- will do anything for money. Many are on dead roll in South-east Asia, especially Malaysia and Singapore. Even in Ghanian and South-African jails.
This Igbos take uncalculated and unnecessarily risk in tarnishing Nigeria because they want to build in their landlock native land, some miniatures of mansions built by Olu Okeowo, Folurunsho Alakija, Michael Adenuga etc.
This Igbos are one people that have no self-respect for themselves. They will ben for anything for survivor. Go see them in Kano, they have all turned into Muslim as Sharia is now the law of the state. Igbo men that use to love palmwine can not go near a bottle of bear anymore because they have to survive in Kano and Zamfara. And I ask, while would any reasonable human being, especially a black person want to go live in Afghanistan? But guess what, there is an association of Igbos "businessmen" in Kabul. And did I hear somebody saying Afghanistan is one of the largest opium grower.
Fact
@@rildwanoluwaseyi5322 the fact that Yoruba opens their eyes to travel to some countries confirm my point. Igbo travels to everywhere and they strive there too. The diaspora remittance from the Igbo people in support and investment is 100times more than Yoruba, infact Edo remits more than Yoruba.
