Why were only Giannis and Thanasis mentioned? They aren't the only Nigerians at Bucks, there is also Jordan Nwora.

Stop this tribal madness, how will Mr Charles Adetokumbo being "Igbo" add millions to your bank account? Instead of you to draw valuable lesson from the indefatigable spirit of their parents who ventured into uncharted waters to give their sons a better life, you are here arguing the unarguable.
Stop being an embarrassment!
How can you accurately know a man's tribe by his physiognomy alone?
Mr Charles is a Yoruba man married to Mrs Victoria an Igbo woman case closed. #SickNLDTribalists!

For your information, I am not igbo. I am simply trying to shed light on their origin, because many people mistakenly think they are Yoruba because of the unfortunate incident with their Surname.

Let me help you with more information.

1. Most people know the 4 brothers who play basketball, but people don't realise they are actually 5 brothers, not 4. Their first son was born in Nigeria before the parents travelled to Europe and could not take him with them. They left him in Lagos as a very young child and he never saw his parents again because of their situation in Europe, they were asylum seekers and couldn't travel back to Nigeria, they were stuck there. That boy's name is Francis Ofili (First name Francis, surname Ofili). He finally moved to Greece as an adult after his brothers had made it in the NBA, and in Greece he appended the name Antetokunpo to his name to cement the association with his brothers. Here is a music video of their brother Francis Ofili on their official youtube channel


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paBWk94D6b0

2. Now just look at a list of the official names of all five brothers and their parents below below

Father - Charles
Mother - Veronica
1st Son - Francis (Full name Francis Ofili, this is the only brother that grew up in Nigeria using his real name)
2nd Son - Thanasis
3rd Son - Giannis Ugo
4th Son - Kostas Ndubuisi
5th Son - Alex Emeka

Does the above list sound like a typical Yoruba family to you? A Yoruba family that lacks yoruba names so mysteriously, from father to all the kids. Even their father does not have a Yoruba name? Not even a middle name? Does that look normal to you?

3. There is no video, audio, or picture evidence of their father ever speaking Yoruba or dressed like a yoruba person. But there is plenty of evidence that the man is Igbo. This is a picture of Mr and Mrs Antetokounmpo posted on instagram by their first son Francis Ofili - https://www.instagram.com/p/BmAgCxDBnPH/

4. Unfortunately, their Dad, Charles, Died in 2017, and after his death is when stories of the 5th brother surfaced for the first time. While he was alive, their background was deliberately kept obscure.

5. The reason why they still carry this name Adetokunbo around is because the consequences of lying while seeking asylum is severe, their mother would be in legal trouble in Greece/EU if it ever came out that their original identity was fake, this is the only reason why they still carry that name around and stick to the story. They are not Yorubas, they are Igbos who migrated on false identity to try and get a better life.

6. If you want to learn more about their family (Not what you think you know) Checkout their mother Veronica's instagram - https://www.instagram.com/veronica_ante3443/ or their first son Francis Ofili's instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ofili_official/


Again, I am not igbo and I am not Yoruba. I don't care about tribal anything, I just don't like misinformation

Now the puzzle is finally connecting. Because I was wondering what will make their biological first son Frank bear Ofili. Why will a first son bear Ofili. This shows that Ofili is the real surname of their Father Charles. Among the children, only Giannis has Sina attached as middle name, but the rest all bear Igbo names. Even when their Father died, he was brough home to Onitsha to be buried. Another red flag.

Well, I won't blame them, a lot of Nigerians left this country with someone else identity from the early 90's to 20's. It's just like Mbappe's father who is Yoruba, but had to stick with the Cameroonian links inorder not to raise suspicion in French circles of using another person's passport to migrate to France.

Back to the Antetokumpo's. I knew something was not right when everything about that family pointed to Igbo. I actually went through the Father's pix posted online, not once did he identify with Yoruba roots. Dude was seen in Igbo chieftaincy attires all through. Even the idea of selling CD's and Wrist watches in the streets of Athens, pointed towards Igbo. Do the Yoruba's hawk CD's and Wrist watches on the street?

shogsman:

his family Hellenized their surname from Adetokunbo to Antetokounmpo to more closely follow Greek traditions, the kid has was born in sepolia,Athens they call him the greek freak,he and his brother even served in their country's millitary as its compulsory for every greek ,he has no relation with your country. But just a name of course, y'all had to rope him in by force
He is greek American please leave it at that.

You are just talking out of hate...
There was an NBA exhibition game in Africa in 2015.. Team USA vs team Africa... Giannis represented Nigeria for team Africa..He has a Nigerian passport too.. His eldest brother was born in and played pro football in Nigeria..He has acknowledged Nigeria in interviews many times...

One thing you don't realize is that many black people living outside Africa like to connect with their roots in the continent.....

I don't know them on personal level, maybe you do or it appears you have done your homework... What I was really emphasizing is that there should be less scrutiny of people's tribes cos it takes much more than tribe or ethnicity to succeed in this life. But then again this is Nairaland. undecided
