Who your origin don epp? Mtchweeee!

Omo ale.

I'm high as fuc.k rite now

We've always known, only that he has Togolese citizenship and played for their national side, which is fine.

PS: there are also native Yorubas in Togo, just like Benin Republic so I guess any narrative works for him.

Who cares?
What has been his contribution to the development of Nigeria?
Nonsense and ingredients

Everybody is always trying to claim to be Yoruba.

What is so amazing about these people sef?

BikoMERCYme:
Bastard.......
We have ADEBAYO not ADEBAYOR in Nigeria.......

Ode

Yeah we know

Even with the bad state of the economy and enough tarnished image by ssome individuals committing crimes home and abroad, diasporans still proud to identify as Nigerian

Lol, when Nigeria wanted you, you said you were from Togo and your Yoruba is not Nigeria's yoruba. What have now changed? Anyway you are welcome to identify with your roots but you are useless to us now.

Good he knows his roots....

I'll leave the elders to judge this case.

It’s obvious.

Good thing he never identified with Nigeria during his playing days.

Would not have been considered a legend in African football.

No wise footballer plays for Nigeria.

Only those with low self esteem, terrible playing skills and poor competitive capabilities do.

Only one of the super fouls give me joy these days.

I will be your Obama where it matters dear Michelle.

This guy is the originator of Horlarmidhey, Eebookunhorlar, Holuwersegun, Ardukeh that ya'll high on these days.

His origin will still not make our Emir in Ilorin change his mind about the Isese Festival. Long live our Emir of Ilorin. We are proud of your decision.

Now That He Is Expired, He Now Suddenly Remember That He is a Nigerian, Welcome Back Ooo, Note Nigeria is Now Nothing Positive to Write About , But Stay in Togo and Have Peace, We Are in The Stage of Shege Banza As Evil & Satanic President And Politicians Have Hijacked The Country, We Have Been Held Hostage in Our Country

Of course!
Nigeria has lost and is still losing a lot of talents to other nations.

We dun hear..can we now face front

Adebayor remember home

Omoluabi

We all know this. But your origin is not of help to us

Omore b'iyan. He can still contribute significantly to nation building just like John Fashanu did too.
