Nigerian actress Bimbo Ademoye has recalled how they brainwashed her as a kid.

The gorgeous thespian, who grew up in the ghetto, said the lies an area brother told her about some foreign celebrities almost destroyed her life.

Bimbo Ademoye stated that while growing up, the brother made her believe superstars like Angelina Jolie, Celine Dion, and Akon were all from Nigeria.

She added that a certain area brother, Femi, told her these celebrities have their Nigerian traditional names as Angelica Jubril, Celina Odion, and Akanni Muftau.

“Growing up in the hood nearly finished my life. I was brainwashed into thinking akon, Celine dion and Angelina Jolie were Nigerians,” she wrote.
