What combined nationality is Chidi Anagonye described as?

Chidi Anagonye is described as Nigerian-Senegalese.

The series presents Chidi as a French-speaking professor of ethics and moral philosophy with ties to both Nigeria and Senegal. The combined description reflects his Nigerian birth and Senegalese upbringing, rather than identifying him as an American, Canadian, or French national.

Chidi’s background is part of the show’s deliberately international cast of deceased humans. He teaches at universities in France and Australia, and his academic career gives the series a way to explore moral philosophy through lessons, arguments, and increasingly bizarre practical tests.

Viewers sometimes remember only “Senegalese,” because that is how Chidi is introduced in parts of the first season, or only “Nigerian,” because of his birth. The fuller description is Nigerian-Senegalese. His identity should also be distinguished from his professional specialty: he is an ethics professor, not merely a generic philosopher.
