Is Antonio Fernandez A Nigerian? by Nobody: 2:19pm On Nov 25, 2016
Where are those parading this man as a Nigerian and feeding us with lies?.

As of today European news has it that Antonio Fernandez was actually original from Spain and he had no children of his own,but many nieces and nephews,he was the founder of coroner beer.

Enough of all those Nigerian b.s that we were fed on about him.

The man is a Nigerian , may be you need to read about him very well, his kids have nigerian names and his wife/partner at the time of his death was an Hausa/fulani woman, some even believe he is richer than dangote.

Bros can you prove it?

The attached news is verifiable,but the Nigerian part is unfounded,if you google him right now you will see many news outlets talking about him and his village in Spain,even BBC too.

No single mention of Nigeria and no kids too.

Some South Americans bare Nigerian sounding names and even speak some Nigerian languages especially Yoruba,Igbo and Hausa due to the Portuguese/Spanish merchants that had dealings with the west Africans before the British rule.

Fernandez was born in Lagos, Nigeria to the Fernandez family that originated from Brazil..

Antonio Oladeinde Fernandez (1936 – September 1, 2015) was a Nigerian Business magnate, Diplomat and Permanent Representative of Central African Republic to the United Nations.[1] He was considered one of the richest men in Africa.[2] In addition to a variety of other chieftaincy titles, he held the title of the Apesin Ola of the Egba clan of Yorubaland.
He was formerly married to Aduke Fernandez, whom he divorced in July 2003 following a £ 300m divorce suit in Scotland filled on July 1, 2003 by her counsel. Lord Brodie presided over the case. He was asked by Aduke through her counsel, Charles Macnair QC, to compel Chief Fernandez to pay her a lump sum of £ 5m and an allowance of £75,000 monthly for 3 years but the case was dismissed by the court.[6] She died in 2013.[7]
