This is a wrong mentality in the 21st century.
And you are a woman for that matter.

Are you saying if you marry outside your tribe, the child is not yours?

Biologically, it probably belongs to the mother more.
She fed him in her womb.

Na just spermm papa pour.

Maybe Mikel Obi, or Osimhen wouldn’t have played soccer on the highest level because they grew up in Nigeria?

Nigerian, his mother is Igbo, his middle name is Ugochukwu, he visited Nigeria in 2014, when his father was still alive.

But in igbo culture the child belongs to the father especially if he is a boy. his father is yoruba. adetokunbo
woman has no value in igbo culture. so giannis belongs to his yoruba papa oooo.

Afriqan:
Great athletes with Nigerian roots:

1. Anthony Joshua
2. Israel Adesanya
3. Kamaru Usman
4. Giannis (Adetokunbo) Antetekuompo
5. Jon Jones
6. Deontay Wilder
7. Hakeem Olajuwon
8. David Alaba
And so many more.

Since transatlantic slavery was more prominent in West Africa than any other part of Africa, it's safe to say most Blacks in Diaspora have Nigerian ancestry, especially since we constitute the largest nation in West Africa and Africa itself.

Nigeria is a great country no doubt. The enemy within is the only issue but they can't stop our greatness.

jon jones has nigerian roots ? really ?

For your information Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon top 50 greatest NBA players grew up in Surulere Lagos, before he took over the basketball world, your talent will always make room for you to excel if you choose to.

Because it suits you right at the moment. If it's the other way around, coming from a woman, it'd be so wrong.
But then again, he's Yoruba

I doubt they are into all these ethnicity you people practice in Nigeria, all he knows he is a Nigerian, who represents Greece.

Nice one .

We despise the Whites because of their Racist attitude, yet can't see that we are even worse.

The tribalism that Nairaland is now synonymous with is just appalling.

Hate, strife, bitterness...clouding our judgement, tainting even the simplest of discussions.

Quite shamefully really.

We are even worse than our Fathers.

While the white man seeks to form alliances, the black man only still thinks of fighting his brother.

The black race is doomed!

Tribalist... leave your village leave your village you no gree. Village square and palm wine joint local champion

HIS NAME SHOULD BE GANI ADETOKUNBO. Welcome home. Kaabo, omowale.

On a serious note, we Nigerians welcome Giannishukwu back home.

“I grew up in a Nigerian home,” Antetokounmpo said. “Obviously, I was born in Greece and went to school in Greece. But at the end of the day when I go home, there is no Greek culture. It’s straight-up Nigerian culture. It’s about discipline, it’s about respecting your elders, having morals.”


You have got to love this guy------Adetokunbo, based on this little interview he gave. His name was was misspelled, he said. It appears he is tired of people referring to him as a Greek and not said anything about his nigerian roots. He is a straight talker. He holds nothing back.
Love it!

That is why I like interview because it reveals a lot about a person. From now on, I will be reading news stories about him. He is someone I can relate to.
