My hubby saw him in CompUSA and said that guy is Nigerian. There just aren't alot of Africans in Hawaii. They talked for a good while and the sales people then paid special attention to my hubby afterwards!

I didn't know he was Nigerian. I've liked him alot ever since the HBO series, Oz.

LOL @ the salespeople for upgrading the service afterwards. LOL

Wow that is great. It is not often that one gets to meet a celeb like that. Ok not that this tops it or anything, but a couple years I met the president of Ghana. Ya my hubby is from Nigeria, but the Ghana president....(sorry forgot his name) was here giving a speach to all the Ghanians at the Marriott. He even shook my hand... yes.gif

Meeting the president of Ghana is pretty impressive and probably more important. I haven't ever met any famous/important/ well-known people myself. But oh well.

Yeah, my husband loves it that he is on lost. Shortly after he arrived here (when we were back to watching tv ;P ) I was watching lost. It was really the first one that gave his backstory. Malcon was doing something else around the house and herd him speaking Yourba and came in and very excitedly said it was Yourba and asked what I was watching. He thought it was very cool.
