See mumu big head, the dude represented England and won silver at the world amateur championship in 2011 and you think team GB will not select someone like that for the Olympic the following year. Wonder where you get your real news from, believing all you read on Linda Ikeji .Had he done bad , the news always goes British of Nigerian descent but if sporting heroes it's basically British, that's my point.
Gud, dey gave him d opportunity abi? Did ur beloved country gv him d same opportunity?No, what am saying is that he is d one dat remove his Nigerian name and not d British media. What abt d igbo lady that won silver and bronze for Britain did d British press change her name? It was his choice to remove d afonja name

He's not Nigerian

If you don't know speak any Nigerian language, you ain't a damn Nigerian

If you don't haven't been to Nigeria in the last 10 years, I'm sorry to hurt your feeling, you're not Nigerian

Just like that dumb fucck Abdullah muttalab that tried to blow up a plane, he wasn't born in Nigeria, he doesn't live in Nigeria, just because his parents once lived in Nigeria, he was called the "Nigerian highjacker" instead of a "British highjacker"

Anthony Joshua, my brother, it's too late, why not go to your country United kingdom(not a typo)
I was born in Lagos and grew up in Lagos but I don't speak any local dialect that means from your own theory I am not a Nigerian, I lived in Ohio and Florida for over 10 years I guess I am not a Nigeria for going on a sojourn. I hear you Mr Nigeria carry go MUMU.
