I don’t think bellanaija post features mainly based on whether the person in question strongly claims that they are Nigerians or not….It’s more like just celebrating/acknowledging their roots i.e Nigeria…..
Nyhoo Kudos to Laura she sounds Good…Me likes!!
I don’t care were she is from…I love her music!!!
whatever, if she’s not proud of her roots,its her business
seriously why is that people just want to force naijaness down her throat. in any interview, laura says and i quote “i’m irish but yes i’m black” or the other way round. when she’s asked about her name she says its nigerian coz her dad is. the babe doesn’t go round calling herself a nigerian or irish/nigerian. my point is why claim someone if they dont want to be claimed. if bella wants to feauture someone of naija heritage thats fine but pls dont give them labels that they aren’t wearing.
And yeah this video has been out for months.
in btw Love this girl to bits and i’m a huge fan of her music.
xcuse all my mistakes. lol
Imagine all her Irish relatives reaction when she goes on every interview saying she is Nigerian?
true, she’s is as Nigerian as she is Irish 50-50. Obama is black and white and he chose black rather than half-caste/ mixed race (anyway its hypodescent way of labeling people in America), so Laura should have her choice.
Obama did not choose black, being black for him is a result of his society. In America, any person of mixed race which includes black heritage is considered black as was the custom in slave days
thats very true.
i couldnt even believe when she posted that taio cruz crap. who is he?!
sometimes bella likes to give these people labels.
if they arent claimin naija or trying to represent us, why are we labeling them as such? how are we so sure that they even want to be associated with nigerians?
also wale, he makes good music, but i have yet to hear him claim naija or what not. im not sure, so correct me if im wrong.
but he is also all americanized claimin “DC” so what again does he have to do with nigerians, he is an AMERICAN artist as far as i and the rest of the world knows (well people that arent nigerians). we dont hear much from him to even know that he is a naija artist like that.
but i guess…

For sum1 dat doesn’t rep Naija…..den y is he playing at d 9ja independence parade….d guy uses his nigerian name Wale for crying out loud…..d guy has even got popular tune My Sweetie on his album…
all the same must bellanaija post only ppl dat claim to b nigerian or ur definition of being nigerian….i say bellanaija is openminded nd if u got sum naija blood running in ur veins u get posted as long as u gt d talent to show for it!!!
This song was one of the Itunes “single of the week” downloads
me like her….she sound like Alicia keys, Sade Adu, Macy gray and Heather Hedley all wrapped together
that’s sooo true.
aww… I like! Lemme start tellin ppl abt her. For some strange reason though, she reminds me of Asa.
her voice…….yowsa!!!!…i luv luv luvvvvvvv……….plus it does’nt hurt that she used the black brother!!….*chuckles*
i like her voice..its thick,heavy and very deep… touching too…good luck girl …keep doing wat you doing..ok now,,, how do we get this album in the States???
i stumbled across this chic quite by accident, bought a couple of her tracks off itunes, and then TLWA ft’d her… and then it’s like i’m running into her music at the oddest places. rather impressive the number of movies/tv features her music’s been sampled on.
but i’m not sure she’s into the “i’m naija” thing sha.
well her article in TLWA seemed like she wanted to connect with her 9ja roots….
