Place of birth and nationality?
Different internet sources (e.g. IMDb) quote Ibadan as Saffrons birthplace, which is about 130 kilometers away from Lagos. So, can we still find out how the information that she was born in Lagos came into the article, and which info is actually correct?

In addition, the info that she "is a Nigerian singer, songwriter[...]" should maybe also be clarified/verified. According to Nigerian nationality law, she actually could have Nigerian nationality by birth, but only if one of her parents or any of her grandparents would have been Nigerian (I couldn't find any hints for that, which doesn't necessarily mean it couldn't be possible). This article from The Independent says her mother is "half-Chinese, half-Portuguese", and this blog article says she is of "Portuguese, Chinese and British descent and was born in Nigeria". So, as Nigeria and Britain both allow double nationality, she could be Nigerian, British (if her father is British "otherwise than by descent") or even both. --Whisker (talk) 15:23, 27 October 2016 (UTC)


 * A quick Google suggests her nationality is British according to various different sites, although perhaps nothing definitely authoritative enough to cite (example); even if she has dual nationality (which is uncertain) it's potentially quite misleading to state that she's Nigerian. My inclination is to remove her nationality until a reliable source is found. &mdash; Vom  (talk) 07:20, 3 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Nigeria used to be part of the British Empire and if her father was born there before independence then she (Saffron) is British by right as her father would have been born a British subject. In addition, if her mother ("half-Chinese, half-Portuguese") was actually born in Hong Kong, Malaya, or Singapore prior to independence, then she too would have been born a British subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.100.249 (talk) 16:34, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
