If there is any evidence, the person that last modified the page would have provided a link. But check the page, the references are very few and none seemed to contain a lead to the site where the editor had gotten his information.

Someone merely modified the page and included Eto's name. The admins mostly don't take this seriously since the page is unprotected.
Is not about admins..if it was wrong people would have most likely argued about it and Wikipedia would have taken it down..so far it stays is correct

When last was the page modifed?

As for the bold, I am just seeing the page. Maybe many people have not seen it yet. So, the fact that it hasn't been modified does not mean that it is correct.

I am sure this is the work of a mischievous editor.

It is not entirely a good idea because sometimes someone would come up with false information driven by tribalism, racism. They always get banned by the admin, but what about people who would have seen the page before the admin modify it?
I get u..but atleast every other information there is verifiable and correct which makes this one to be true, if not it would have been taken down long before now

You can't call it mischievous since you don't even know how true it is yourself..you should rather say u can't verify now..but every other thing there is correct so is most likely correct

How sure are you that all the information there are correct? Some of the information may even be outdated. There are Wikipedia pages that have not been modified for many years.

It isn't the admins duty to monitor every page, monitoring is every contributors duty. If any one has evidence (or not, for that matter), that Eto is not from Ebonyi they can edit. Disputes would involve admins checking evidence, and only the truth would stand eventually, or wiki would have died by now.

You may all wish to read about malicious editing of Wikipedia pages.

I'm 100% sure of those information there and yet to confirm that of Eto, ..atleast I know those people listed there before now.

You might have a point. Evidence for his fathers hometown is scarce.

You are getting everything wrong.

Where did I write that the admins monitor the page?

Moreover, Wikipedia pages are not always the same. Pages like Ebonyi can go years without much traffic which is why rate of modifications might be almost unnoticeable.

Be truthful. How many Wikipedia pages of Nigerian states do you visit? These pages can stay unmodified for months.

I visit enough, though its not my major source for Naija info since I'm perfectly aware we Nigerians barely edit wiki and when we do we tend to post what we think and believe with no verification whatsoever just as we do here.

Some wiki pages are continously disputed with lots of to and fro in the background. There is a reason it is not accepted in academia. Besides, on important issues, wiki should not be one's sole source for reasons you and others have mentioned.

Please note that despite my research, I can not conclude that Samuel Eto'o is Nigerian from Ebonyi State.

Igbos can claim anything. Recently they were claiming davido (saying his grandmother is Igbo - which is not true btw), davido that Yorubas don't even like that much because of his pride grin grin grin

Guy, number 1 I am not Yoruba. And yes I know Wizkid is far more popular among Yorubas than Davido. Number 2 Eto is not Igbo. Stop spreading this needless lie. If its football legends Igbos have yanfuyanfu, you don't need to be claiming a Camerounian.

Seems it is true, I know someone that said he is his cousin and was even showing me a prove to that. Not really convinced but the guy has all the evidence to prove. And the person is from that particular area you mentioned.

You are definitely losing the handle. How can Igbo claim a Yari.ba? Even his mother is Igbo, Ndigbo will not even claim him as Igbo. However, he/she deserves the right to choose his/her ethnicity. There are popular Yari.ba actors whose mothers were Igbo yet Ndigbo have not claimed them.
Re: Samuel ETO'O IS From Ebonyi State by Dedetwo(m): 8:59am On Dec 31, 2019
Eto = Praise in Igbo

Etochukwu = Praise God

The Eto might have been abbreviated and reconstructed to fit into French lingo.
