There is no evidence that he was born in Nigeria whether Eboe or Edo that is the simple truth. Deal with it.
With his own hand he also wrote and claimed to have been born in the Americas and also Africa Which should we believe?. The only evidence of anything is what he claimed i.e his own words
He could have heard that from other slaves and appropriated the story as his for his abolition campaign but for all we know he could be from anywhere.

Please stop all the bullshite. Slaves did not keep African names but their owners names
and Olaudah don't mean shite anyway

EVEN TODAY Brazilians and Cubans and Venezuelans worship with the Yoruba Language. Does that make them Yoruba or prove Yoruba ancestry.?

Babangida is a Yoruba. If he's not a Yoruba, then mention any northerners that bears Gbadamosi as name. He's from ogbomoso sir.
His name is not Gbadamosi and by the way what does Gbadamosi mean in Yoruba?

You see why Jamb had to reduce cut off mark for Yoruba kids like you.

Answer the simple question


If he was a Benin man, where did he learn how to speak Igbo.? Beninland or Igboland
Lol, why evading question boy, I ask you again, your igbo brothers that speak Yoruba or Hausa, where do they learn it? You should use your brain and think about that before asking dumb question. Those that speak French in Nigeria, where do they learn it?

You aren't Yoruba at all, you are the one ridiculing yourself here. His full name is Ibrahim badamasi babangida. When you don't know thing, you learn. So if he's not Yoruba, I challenge you to mention any northerner that bears badamasi and tell me the meaning in Hausa.

What does Gbadamosi mean in Yoruba?

Babangida is neither Hausa nor Yoruba

Badamasi is a very common name in the north
Very very common .

If the only evidence for his Yorubaness is this Badamasi thing you need to keep quiet
Yorubas bear names like
Shittu
Raji
Bello
Lawal and so on.
Gbadamosi is just another in that genre. It has no meaning in Yoruba language
Aji se bi Oyo la ri
Oyo o ji se bi Baba enikan

Yoruba will never be a party to claiming people whether IBB or anything else> Rather people wil claim to be Yoruba.

IBB is NOT and will never NEVER be Yoruba
