shadrach77: this is embarrasing for Nigeria - we bring this embarrasment on ourselves by trying to force ourselves on nonentities - This was the same way an unknown footballer turned down Nigeria years ago when the NFA called him up to play for the Eagles. It's time we stop allowing unknown entities like this to rubbish our name

afam4eva: It's good they cleared the air just like NAS did when he came to Nigeria. I don't know what it is with Nigerians and claiming people. How can a nation with over 150million people be looking for more citizens when it has not taken care of the people it has.

solomon111: Damn!
What an embarassment!!
One would think Nigeria is a country lacking in global achievers.
May God punish that dumb journalist for embarassing us.

*Ileke-IdI:
Nigerians are very stupid people.

When will you embarrassing ppl stop trying to claim people who don't want to be claimed or trying to claim another heritage?

How did some ppl arrived at the assumption that they're Nigerians? My goodness!

dammytosh: Why are we over flogging the issue.

Their late sister was named YETUNDE of all names in Africa ?
They came to Nigeria for a tour. (Mama must have told them Yetunde is a Nigerian Name )

Personally I am not interested in their root because it does not affect the price of GARRI in the market.

The question asked by the journalist is right and in order. They have answered so peeps should move on and stop calling the guy names for asking a very logical and reasonable question.

Immune#1:
Noticed the way Serena clutched her bag?

albacete:

*sprinkles water on his face and wakes him up*
Hope u are alright sir?

By the way , what was that place like?

Lol -- Gosh. . .Imaginary Hell

naijababe: Stoopid questions deserve idiotic answers, I am disappointed they provided such a classy answer. Mtchew!!!

afam4eva:
If your name is Alex does that mean you're from England or America? It's just a name. It's only a surname that can really tell where someone comes from and even a surname is not 100% certain.

chosen04:

You sound like a PHD holder in the catergory of GEJ.

saxywale:
Nigeria is not a nation jor ... You and I know that it's just a geographical location around the river Niger.

chosen04: Who wants to be a nIGERian?

I dont even recognise the cursed country. Thats why i spells it as niGERia . . . .

WE ARE PROUD BIAFRANS (I & my family) . . . . . . Never niGERians.

OlowoTee: i beg to differ. The name yetunde is 'peculiar', you don't just name your child yetunde or iyabo(similar) without some good reasons. It's got some deeply rooted meaning attached. #Especially, lostofGranny, MIL etc.

afam4eva:
The name of the former mayor of Chicago is Kwame but he has no roots in Ghana. Some African-Americans just see it as a way of identifying with his African roots.

toba: Sorry, we are not Nigerians’ say Williams sisters

The Williams sisters, Venus and Serena Wednesday put paid to insinuations that they were from Nigeria, when they said that they were proud to be American citizens.

Speaking at the Federal Palace Hotel, Venus, in a response to a question on their true origin, said that while they love Nigeria, the fact was that they were from the United States of America.


“This is another country that we would love to come from but we are from the United States and are proud to be from there as well”, said Venus


On their mother’s decision to name their late sister, Yetunde, after a Nigerian, Venus said that it was because of the mum’s love for Africa.

[size=20pt]“My mum named my late sister after an Africa name because she loves Africa and that is all to it”, she said.

Chai!!! gaddem where are all the f00ls who claim that the William sisters are "proud yorubas" . Haha chai see hand falling . Na so person come dey tell me say Nas na yoruba boy .

OlowoTee:

Kwame means born on Saturday and anyone born on Saturday could adopt that name. Just as anyone could answer to Chioma, Tosin, Tolu, Kemi etc because they've got simple interpretations. However, Yetunde got alot to do with loss of a granny, Mother In Law etc. #Reincarnation. It's okay if they aren't Nigerians, and anyone could adopt whatever name. Howbeit, it would be good to know their meaning. Peace.

xyoung: Let's be honest, D williams are jus denying and tryin to disown dier home country..If Nigeria we're to be a world power country, trust me they wil say the opposite..Serena is fromm Imo state..simple
