Actor John Boyega is Coming To Nigeria Soon

John Boyega is coming home to Nigeria for the first time , and his fans are already tweeting at him in anticipation.
“Currently planning trip to Nigeria,” the BAFTA award winning star wrote , adding, “Making sure I can connect with as much supporters as possible. More news to come in the next few months.”


Recently, Boyega addressed racists who criticised his role as a Black stormtrooper in ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’.
“I just don’t get it,” he told New York Times. “You guys got every single alien in this movie imaginable to man. With tentacles, five eyes. Aliens that, if they existed, we’d definitely have an issue…Yet what you want to do is fixate on another human being’s color. You need to go back to school and unlearn what you have learned.”

“I am grounded in who I am, and I am a confident Black man,” Boyega said. “A confident, Nigerian, Black, chocolate man…To get into a serious dialogue with people who judge a person based on the melanin in their skin? They’re stupid, and I’m not going to lose sleep over people.”
Days ago, he told a hilarious story about his mother, jollof rice and frying plantain. Now he is set to come home and fans are already over the moon – the ‘proudly Nigerian Hollywood star’ is coming home!
