This white dude should be tracked down, interogated so he could reveal every secret his parents and their colonial cohorts have in their possession, which could have given birth to the all round regretable situation in the land.
babaearly: You guys forgot to mention Hugo Weaving.

Hugo Wallace Weaving was born on April 4, 1960 in Nigeria. The middle sibling of three, Hugo has an older brother Simon and a younger sister Anna who both also currently live and work in Australia. During his early childhood, the Weaving family spent most of their time traveling between Nigeria, Great Britain...
“ Yeah, he's white, but he was born in Nigeria therefore he is Nigerian. ”

She sure does if not better. Her role in HBO's 'House of Lies' as Don Cheadle's girlfriend bought me over. Then her appearance in an episode of 'The Game'.......... OMG!!!!

She's actually prettier than she is in the picture above.
