I Will Like To Meet My Father, He Is A Nigerian – Chelsea Star Ross Barkley by faith2kool(f): 11:07pm On Apr 28, 2020
The England international midfielder Ross Barkley has once again stressed his desire to meet with his father who according to him is a Nigerian who broke up with his mother when things were difficult for him.

Barkley who was born and raised in England where he is now a senior international player while speaking in an interview on his life and career said he will no doubt love to meet with his father.

” Maybe the one thing I will like to add to my career if I can is to meet with my father. He is a Nigerian who left my mother while I was still very young and since then I haven’t set my eyes on me”, the 25 year old said.

Base on research, Barkley’s father is a Nigerian named Patrick Effange who was a construction worker with the railway in the United Kingdom. He left while he was around one year old and since then he hasn’t returned.

The player now bears his mother’s maiden name Barkley as his surname instead of his father’s name Effanga. His career has really blossomed from when he made his debut at Everton as an 18 year old graduate from the academy of the premier League side.

Since joining Chelsea two seasons ago, injuries and poor form has limited him to few games but before the forced break in football occasioned by the outbreak of coronavirus he was already beginning to stamp his authority in the squad of Frank Lampard as a starter.

One day, the child would locate his/her REAL father. To all those who have adopted children brought into the marriage by some women, the earlier you set the record straight whilst still play your role only as foster father, rather than a REAL one, the better

Badminton evolved from a similar game called battledore played in fifth-century B.C. China. During the
17th century, the game was played in India and there it was known as Poona. British army officers brought
the game back to England around 1873. There the Duke of Beaufort became interested in the game and
since it was played regularly at his country estate, Badminton, this name became associated with the
game. The first U.S. badminton club opened in New York in 1978. In 1992, the game of badminton
became a medal sport in the Summer Olympic Games.
Badminton may be leisurely played indoors or outdoors as a recreational sport, or it may be a challenging
and exciting competitive sport for the skilled participant

Keep mute. His father, Mr Effanga, was in the UK, I think in Liverpool for a longtime, even before meeting Barkley's mom.
I stand to be corrected but I believe that his dad is half Nigerian and half British.
Ross Barkley looks white but his brother doesn't.
His parents separated when he was little and that is why he isn't using the name, Effanga, which is his father's surname.

His father is actually biracial, he has a Nigerian grandfather so that's why he looks white rather than brown, similar to Ryan giggs who has a paternal grandfather from Sierra Leone.
