Speaking on the Netflix Rep Your Flag show, Boyega shared some of his favourite things about Nigeria, his home country.

“When it comes to visiting places in Nigeria, it is definitely going to visit my family in Abeokuta, which is just slightly outside Lagos. I also like going to Abuja which is very clean and more chilled. And obviously, I do like stepping in Lagos for dirty December. Every year we must go to Lagos. We must party, we must enjoy because Nigerians like a good time.”
