Hollywood star Idris Elba recently announced he'll soon be relocating to Africa.
I'm a ga boy, so I like my son, I like the heat, I like my food.
I'm here to bolster the film industry.
That is a 10 year process.
I won't be able to do that from overseas.
The British actor who has heritage from Ghana and Sierra Leone is not the only one.

Noor Abida has recently presented a documentary for BBC Africa Eye.
It's called the Homecoming, where she met several second generation French nationals who decided to relocate to Senegal.
