Yeah, Chicago.
All the way from London, England.
London! London!
though, really?
Wait, wait, wait. Before Idris Elba.
black people in England.
Born and raised -- London, England.
My parents are Nigerian.
Mum and Dad. Nigerian. They had us in England.
Uh, Nigerians never believe I'm Nigerian, though.
When I meet Nigerians for real, they don't believe me.
They're like, "You're Nigerian?" "Yeah, um, both my parents."
"Both of your parents?" "Yes."
"The mother and the father?" "Yes."
"The man and the woman?"
"Yes."
"The sperm and the --"
"Yes, [bleep], the sperm and the egg.
Yes, both. Both!"
But we were born in England, obviously.
Born and raised -- London, England.
My mum wanted us to be British
'cause Nigeria was a British colony.
So she had us all in England, and that's how we were.
We were British kids.
But then I got to an age
where I wanted to get in touch with my roots!
So I went to Nigeria to get in touch with my roots...
and discovered that my roots are in London.
Nigeria -- Oh, God -- scared the hell out of me.
[ Laughter ]
I land in Nigeria. I'm excited. I'm excited --
"I'm home! I'm in touch. I'm home.
This is where my parents were born! I'm home!"
Now, we get off at the airport in Lagos.
You pick up your bags, and then the door is there.
But to get out the door, you have to walk through a line
of officers, Customs and Immigration officers.
And they're standing behind the tables, and you walk by.
And as you walk by, they pick you out for random searches.
Except it's not that random in Nigeria.
'Cause there's a bit of corruption.
Okay, a lot of corruption.
So, they pick you out if you look a little bit foreign
and you look like you got a bit of money.
So you're walking by. "Bye!" I'm just like that.
I'm like, "I'm home!"
I didn't think I was one of those people.
I'm like, "I'm home! I am in Nigeria!
I am Nigerian! This is where my parents were born! I am home!
[ Laughter ]
Wakanda forever, bitches!"
[ Cheers and applause ]
I'm excited.
Then the officer's like, "You, come here, come here.
You, come here. You, c-- You put your case on the table.
Put your case on the table!
Put your case on the table and open your case!
Put your case on the table! You! Put your case on the table!
You, come here. Come here. Come here. Come here.
Put your case on the table! Put your case on the table!"
Now, what you're supposed to do at this point...
is put your case on the table.
[ Laughter ]
And then what you do, when you put your case on the table,
you open the case like you're gonna have a search.
But then as you're opening the case,
you let a $20 note just slip out of your hand
into the hand of the officer, and then he's like that.
The $20 just disappears.
He's like, "Okay, close your case. Close your case!
Take your case off the table!"
[ Laughter ]
'Cause that's how Africans point --
not with their fingers, with their lips.
"Take your case off the table! Go! Go!"
[ Laughter ]
But I was like, "I'm not bribing my way out of this airport!
I am Nigerian! My parents were born here!
I am an African, and I am Nigerian!
I am Niger--
[ Singing in native language ]
[ Laughter ]
Cost me $700 to get out of that frickin' airport.
Thanks very much, boys and girls!
Thank you!
[ Cheers and applause ]
