John Boyega is popular in Nigeria for his role as Ugwu in the movie adaptation of Chimamanda Adichie’s novel, Half of a Yellow Sun.

Rising through the acting ranks of Hollywood, he got the lead role playing Finn in the latest release of fan fiction series Star Wars.

He described himself as a confident,Nigerian, black and chocolate man who wasn’t afraid of people with a disease of the mind.
