7 Nigerian/American Celebrities That Surprisingly Look Alike

Look-alikes are something that I never get tired of. The reality that there are two people who look very similar and may not even know each other is something that I find extremely interesting. That is, right now, maybe somewhere in Mali, there is some person that looks almost exactly like me. That's a really fun thought when you think about it.

Look alikes are everywhere and while often times it's people from the same location (like the same state or nation) that look alike, there are also people who share resemblances with people who live in entirely different continents. Today we'll be counting down 7 popular faces from Nigeria and America that surprisingly resemble each other. Are you ready to dive in and see these celebrity lookalikes? Then let's go!

1. Keke Palmer and Chacha Eke

Nigerian actress Chacha Eke and Hollywood actress Keke Palmer share a very uncanny resemblance with each other. When the picture above hit the internet, people could not stop talking about just how much these two starlets look alike. Do you see it? Do you agree?

2. Peter Okoye and Usher

Another resemblance that has been well documented since both people burst unto the scene is the resemblance between American musician Usher and Nigerian superstar Peter Okoye. In fact, when P-Square first broke out, the two were heavily compared to Usher with not only their looks, but also their music and dancing. The resemblance between the two men is definitely uncanny.

3. Kanayo O Kanayo and Meek Mill

The next pair on our list is the pairing of Nollywood star Kanayo O Kanayo and American rapper, Meek Mill. The two men although completely different in age and location actually share a very close resemblance as far as their looks are concerned.

4. Tonto Dikeh and Lottie "The Body" Tatum-Graves

Lottie "The Body" Tatum-Graves was an American burlesque dancer who performed from the late 1940s to the early 1980s and passed away not too long ago. When her death was announced to the public and pictures of her in her younger years emerged, Nigerians couldn't help but notice that she bared a striking resemblance to our very own Tonto Dikeh. Their resemblance is undeniable!

5. Burna Boy and Jae Crowder

Nigerian musician Burna Boy and American basket ball player is Jae Crowder are the next celebrity pair that really share a huge resemblance. In fact, when side to side pictures of both men were put together on social media, it caused the tweet to become popular and people couldn't help but notice just how similar the two men look. Do you see it?

6. Golda Rosheuvel and Adesua Etomi

When Netflix's hit series Bridgerton landed, a number of Nigerians started to spy something with their little eyes. A number of people begun pointing out that the woman who acted as the queen in Bridgerton, Golda Rosheuvel, looks a lot like Nigeria's own Adesua Etomi-Wellington if Adesua were older. Do you agree?

7. Funke Akindele and Taraji P. Henson

Finally, the resemblance between Nollywood actress Funke Akindele and American actress Taraji P Henson is also very uncanny. When you first think of the women separately, it doesn't immediately come to mind, but then when you see pictures of them side by side, it definitely becomes more apparent.
