IGBO AMERICAN not Nigerian American
Nigerian = A Citizenship which she is not
Igbo = An Ethnicity which is Born into
How do you know she’s not a Nigerian citizen? What if she is a dual citizen?
bellanaija u have started. u will not leave this girl alone now.
I am extremely happy for Yvonne Orji’s success. I met her a few years ago and can say she is genuine, funny and super talented.
Wait is she the lead character in “Insecure” with the short hair? She looks different in pictures. Will look out for the show on Monday.
No, she plays the best friend of the lead character.
She kind of looks like Tiwa Savage
