Funmi Iyanda is a confident woman, so confident that she doesn’t mind going all public with her romantic crushes. Now we know she’s got a ‘thing’ for Nigerian born UK actor Chiwetel Ejiofor. Celebrating his recent British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards nomination, Iyanda, 42, in a series of playful tweets talked about Ejifor, 37, and the prospects, if she did get to meet him. ‘Girls, l warn u, do not marry chiwetel, if l catch am 4 corner, l no go mind u o. he is a gift from d gods 2 us all women so lets share. hehe‘, she wrote on Twitter. ‘girls girls, lets be reasonable. The man is a natural resource, a gift to all. Anyone claiming sole ownership miss rd‘, she continued. Interestingly, NET writer Chiagoziem Onyekwena had referred to 2face Idibia as a ‘natural resource’ in a 2010 article, in reference to the pop icon’s talent. ‘…There’s crude oil in the creeks, gold in Oyo, tin in Jos, coal in Enugu and then to crown it all, there’s Innocent Idibia in Benue…’ Ejifor is up for a BAFTA award this year having being nominated in the ‘Leading Actor’ category for his role in the movie ‘12 Years of a Slave‘.
