Congrats to Chiwetel, courtesy of the Enugu State Government.
To celebrate his first major award win, the Enugu State Government - where his father is from, took a full page advertisement slot in The Nation newspaper .
The ad was to congratulate “our brother”.
On the contrary, Chiwetel was on the Ellen DeGeneres show a few weeks back and was asked where he was from and said he was British! Here's how the conversation went:
Ellen DeGeneres: Where are you from?
Chiwetel: I'm from London
Ellen DeGeneres: Originally from London?
Chiwetel: Yeah, but my family is Nigerian!!!
Checkout the actual Ellen interview on YouTube
Appreciate your roots people!
