Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by Ndipe(m): 11:52am On Jan 05, 2007 |
Check this out. This famous Welsh, Shirley Bassey is actually descended from a Nigerian father. Unfortunately, he abandoned the family when the girl was 2 years old. Wonder if he is still alive, and if he is, if he is regretting that he has lost such an opportunity to reconnect with his flesh and blood. Check out this website on her bio. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_Bassey |

You mean you people did not know ![]() My dad told me ones that He and fellow Nigerian students met her in UK Backstage. Thats a long time ago. When he told me i did not believe i was still small. She had just sang the title for a jamesbond film. |

When will you stop connecting peoples roots ! She is NOT nigerian , she is Welsh . born in Wales , has a Welsh accsent . Are you so ashamed of you country that you need to connect the famous and rich to Niger. If you really want to take it look at you own roots to raise your self worth ![]() |
Re: Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by mamaput(f): 7:40pm On Jan 07, 2007 |
Its not her roots its her father. |

I guess Sade isnt Nigerian then. Despite being FOLASADE ADU. Couldnt be more Nigerian. Guess Ramsey isnt Nigerian since his father isnt. You people aka osmanbello are ridiculous |
Re: Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by Easyy(m): 7:49pm On Jan 07, 2007 |
Yeah, her father is Nigerian but I'm not sure she ever referred to herself as NIGERIAN. Even that 'bio' calls her WELSH |
Re: Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by Eurphoria(f): 8:06pm On Jan 07, 2007 |
[size=13pt]GOODNESS!!!!! give it a rest ppl. all the poster did was say she is Nigerian why must you ppl turn it into a GENETIC DEBATE? [/size] |
Re: Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by osmanbello(m): 8:07pm On Jan 07, 2007 |
Theifof harts. You are WRONG. your county of birth (as defined on your BIRTH CERTIFICATE > if you have one ) shows what you are. Your lack of education will not berate this fact . Dont post any more stupidity , fact is fact |
Re: Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by ThiefOfHearts(f): 8:10pm On Jan 07, 2007 |
You're right. My siblings born in NY are not Nigerians. Thank you for your wisdom and please forgive me for having the guts to question you. Were alaso. |
Re: Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by mamaput(f): 8:11pm On Jan 07, 2007 |
Thats not true if you are born in Germany it dose not make you german. and the Uk changed that law too long ago. Not everyone born there is legal, Even in the usa , with 18 you have to drop one. |
Re: Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by mamaput(f): 8:13pm On Jan 07, 2007 |
Toh it is very possible that your siblings in Ny will be asked to choose with 18 Nigerian or US . |
Re: Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by Eurphoria(f): 8:16pm On Jan 07, 2007 |
in the UK your parents , well your mother has to be a British citizen for you to be a citizen by your birth |
Re: Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by mamaput(f): 8:25pm On Jan 07, 2007 |
Thankyou. In the 60s and 70s you only had to be born there, But a lot of Africans and Asians were having their babies there so they changed the law. |
Re: Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by Eurphoria(f): 8:27pm On Jan 07, 2007 |
yeah that is true the law was changed by my fav lady Magareth thatcher |
Re: Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by ThiefOfHearts(f): 8:28pm On Jan 07, 2007 |

Re: Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by mamaput(f): 8:32pm On Jan 07, 2007 |

Re: Dame Shirley Bassey is Nigerian!!! by osmanbello(m): 8:37pm On Jan 07, 2007 |
Margret Thatcher DID NOT CHANGE THE LAW she was the Prime Minister . The House of Lords , ie Parliment has jurasdiction of UK law. Why do you post such un-informed rubbish . Do not confuse the law of statute with the written law . Also Shirley Bassey was NOT her real name , it was her stage name , this is also a FACT . For instant, who was Harry Webb ?? go on - sort that out |
