Nigerians are on a mission to ruin wikipedia's reputation the same way they ruined Nigeria's reputation. |

Serena had a maternal (deceased) sister named Shola. How does this make her a Nigerian? 1 Like |

Kenezi: I don't think there is any sign of desperation here. I also do not However, I must add that Serena and Neyo with all due respect to them, being Nigerians or not should mean nothing. Nigeria has got loads of well known personalities within and outside Nigeria (didn't Soyinka win a Nobel prize or did Bill Clinton not call Phillip Emeagwali 'a father of the internet',? the list is endless). Last time I checked, isn't SEAL also a Nigerian? Being a Nigerian is not the issue, its what you do for your country that is the issue. IMO, the guy who labours everyday cleaning the highway in Nigeria for a minimum wage salary of 7,500naira is more Nigerian than a world renowned artiste who doesn't care about his country. PS: I do not think Serena is Nigerian. I actually think she is camerounian. I may be wrong but I remember a particular world cup competition where she had the camerounian flag embedded on her shorts in solidarity with the football team. I also think this issue of her Natinality came up when she lost Yetunde, her sister and I think it was cleared then that she they are not Nigerians. I may be wrong. We need to stop posting wikipedia links here as it isnt an authoritative source. 1 Like |

If having a kinda name gives me another nationality, I better change my name to Bush, Wilderness or Desertson just to lose being Nigerian. Seriously, if the basis for Serena being presumed Nigerian is the name her sister bears then it holds no water but for Neyo, that flat head might qualify him to be igbo. No offence!! |

yes even this morning i come across an information that reveals that bush and pope john paul are all nigerians. what about saddam hussien and robert mugabe? to me, these two are more qualified to be nigerians. janet jackson and micheal jackson are all nigerians. have u heard that obasanjo is from america? the author of this thread can do anything. how can u try to involve serena and neyo in a country everybody is running away from? |

Is anybody disputing the Williams having Badagry, Lagos origin? Isn't this well-known? I'm surprised seeing many people dispute it here. It came into fore when their sister, Yetunde died, I think, few years ago. Source? I can't quote any now. But even recently I read somewhere that they were planning visiting Naija as root-coming. |

@poster if they are nigerians, so what? it means nothing. as 4 serena, remember yetunde is just her stepsister and should not be used as proof for williams nigerianship 4 neyo, whatever even if he is nigerian makes no difference to me |

Re: Do You Know Serena Williams And Neyo Are Nigerian? by Nobody: 7:04am On Apr 19, 2009 |
Jarus: There is a difference between having a Nigerian origin and being a Nigerian. Of course all african americans came from west africa!!!!!!!!!!!! The fact that Nigeria is the most populous in west africa and africa probably indicates that 70% of the slaves came from Nigeria. There is a greater chance that any african american in originally from Nigeria, than any other african nation. Badagry, like other coastal areas in Nigeria was a point of entry for the slave masters so know one is disputing that. |

Spread this lies somewhere else, please! Serena Williams is an american, she has no connection with nigeria. Neyo isn't even debatable, who has been filling this poster with lies? |
