Dude your research is quite not there cause you left out Hugo Weavings, who played agent Smith in Matrix trilogy and Elrond in Lord of the rings and voice of Megatron in Transformers. Funny enough , he is white but he was born in Ibadan ( University Teaching Hospital) Nigeria on April 4th 1960 so that makes him a Nigerian citizen abi,. if in doubt use the link beneath.

The Williams sisters are not Nigerians but their step sister Yetunde Price is a Nigerian, their mother married a Nigerian before their own father.
Nas has NO Nigerian blood. Nas's father Oludara Jones claims he adopted that name 'Oludara' because of his passion 4 African heritage.
