American actress, Arséma Adeoluwayemi Hamera Thomas who played the young Agatha Danbury in Netflix popular series Queen Charlotte, has revealed all the Nigerian things that she likes.
Arsema, who is half-Ethiopian half-Nigerian, shared personal favourites during an interview with the Naija Netflix team.
In the interview, she expressed her love for Nigerian culture, adding that she would love to be included in the Nigerian entertainment space.
‘My favourite Nigerian dish is moin-moin (steamed bean pudding). I don’t know why, maybe its the spiciness or the fact that I can eat it anytime of the day and it just works. It is the seasoning. It is the chef’s kiss.
‘Hmmmm… my favourite Naija music is, I mean there is a photo of Fela Kuti right there. I’m thinking WATER. I just listened to it as I was getting ready today. There is something about the jazz, the rock n roll. And Fela Kuti is like my favourite type of artistic revolutionary’.
When asked who her favourite Nigerian authors are, she mentioned ‘Abiola Bello and Eloghosa Osunde’
