Yoruba Amaka

Nigeria Amaka

Again....they described how terrible it was to eat three square meal. Very soon our leaders will start shouting on how to congratulate them....very pathetic and shameless country
People who struggle and leave nigeria and make it outside... should not for any reason give credit to this country...rather thank God for removing them from obstacle called Nigeria

How have you guys turned a thread about the NBA to "Igbo Vs Yoruba battle"?


You lot need serious help

Everybody wants to latch on to success by fire by force... If they were criminals caught by Interpol, none of these people would have come anywhere to claim their "Brothers"! grin
Exactly. Imagine Giannis was an unknown person and a headline like "FBI arrests Giannis Adetokunbo for fraud" hits Nairaland, won't these Ipob idiots be screaming "Afonja!" all over the thread just for seeing "Adetokunbo", even though he might have an Igbo mother?

Abi?

That's it, failure is an orphan, but everyone wants to identify with success.
If they had grown up here, it is debatable if they could have ended as this.
Debatable, I said.

Need I remind you he donated 20,000 masks to people in Athens, Greece and Zografou during covid,one might ask why didn't he remember his country Nigeria as you've claimed,I'll tell you why its because he is not obligated to seeing as how he is not a Nigerian. He is not his parents,something you guys always seem to mix together

You keep reasoning through your anus.
He grew up in a Nigerian home. Highly influenced by it's culture, food, and language, and you want to keep arguing he has no relationship with the country.
Please take your argument to a Chinese or Indian man living in his 'shoes'.

I'm happy for Giannis & Jordan Nwaora (been the first D'Tigers B.player) for winning an NBA title.
50 pts for Giannis on the night was a big one....to think he had 17 of the 19 free throws on the night just showed how badly he wanted it (for someone who is poor with the free throws).

I'm also very sure he's not obligated to inform you or the world press when he or his family members does charity works in Nigeria.
We shall continue this discussion when he physically visits Nigeria.

Sometimes, i imagine how he gets his numbers because he's not a consistent three pointer like Durant and Curry but then I also know that he's a very powerful forward.

The Bucks are very disciplined. How they came from two games down to win this championship is truly a beauty.
Its truly a beauty cos i can't just believe it from two games down and win the championship is just unexplainable i was waw.
