I have nothing to say except blame people that voted these people to represent them.

These old men no dey shame at all

undecided

it is better to live in street named after Anthony Joshua than live in a street...named after Nigerian politician...
I watched his interview recently where he spoke Yoruba...
I was so touched to hear his plans for his motherland... how he intend to contribute to lives back home...
I bet..None of our politicians have such plans rather than to loot the country empty...
the guy deserve an heroic reception

Joshua was born in Watford to a Nigerian mother and a British father of Nigerian and Irish descent.[6][7] His cousin is fellow unbeaten professional boxer Ben lleyemi. The pair made their professional debuts together in 2013.[8]

Joshua grew up for some of his early years in Nigeria and returned to the UK halfway through Year Seven to join Kings Langley Secondary School. Growing up on the Meriden Estate in Garston, Hertfordshire, Joshua was called 'Femi' by his friends and former teachers, due to his middle name 'Oluwafemi'. He excelled at football and athletics and broke the Year Nine 100m record with a time of 11.6 seconds.[9][10][11]

I like this move...better to have a street and a stadium named after a sport personality that has brought recognition to the country than name it after politicians.....whose only achievements is to keep milking the country dry


He fought as a British boxer so how did he bring recognition to Nigeria ..Nigeria is just famzin in this case

Re: Stadium And Street To Be Named After Anthony Joshua In Nigeria by ziga: 11:20pm On May 01, 2017
How many have they named after Rashidi yekini, Stephen Keshi or Amodu shuaibu.

These are Nigerian sportsmen.

Did they even pay them their worth?

Nigeria is a funny country.

If all the money that has been invested by Nigeria and Nigerians in the EPL over these years has been invested in NPFL and our sports sector, we will be making money from sports.

The same people will soon be screamin "buy Nigerian"

His origin in Nigeria has been put to rest. The guy's origin is Sagamu Ogun state. Case close

Sagamu codedly producing people putting Nigeria positive image on the world map. Just like AJ, they also produce Ogunlesi. The man that owns Gatwick airport

After defeating Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko, Anthony Joshua is set to be honoured by the Ogun State government, the state where his parents hail from in Nigeria.


Majority leader of the State House of Assembly Yinka Mafe says he will move a motion in the state legislature to have the Sagam International Stadium renamed Anthony Joshua Stadium, and the popular Cinema Street in Sagamu renamed Anthony Joshua Street.
Of the two, the street is the most significant, as his family owns almost half the land and property on one side of the street.


The cinema, from which the road takes its name, was built by his great grandfather Omo-Oba Daniel Adebambo Joshua in the 50s, and is one of the oldest of such facilities in the country.
Mafe joined hundreds of Sagamu youth to watch the fight in an open air viewing event organised by the Sagamu Youth Congress, and was thrilled by both the turnout and the outcome.


"We are proud of what he has achieved as a son of Sagamu, and we will be happy to do our own little bit to show our appreciation and support for him," Mafe said.

Op said, " Ogun state where his parents came from". But what the world media knows as of now is that only his MOTHER is of Yoruba origin, Ogun - Shagamu.

His father as we were told is half Scottish and Nigerian, but where he hails from in Nigeria is not mentioned any where in the world media yet.
