Spiritual rennaisance can't start from Nigeria. The average Nigerian brain has been brainwashed by either Christianity or Islam. Spiritual rennaisance requires free thinking, which is lacking among Nigerians in general.
i hear you but it only takes one revolutionary to change everybody. thats all it takes is one. and he is here wink

Two tribes laying claims to the guy.

Yorubas claim his name is Adetokunbo, Igbos claim it's Ugochukwu.

Which one we go believe now?
His name is Giannis (Greek) Shina (Yoruba) Ugo (Igbo) Adetokunbo (Yoruba). Yoruba father, Igbo mother. Understood now?

Giannis Shina Ugochukwu Adetokunbo


Yoruba Dad

Igbo Mum


Na 50/50 So, you left all your Igbo sportsmen to be dragging a Yoruba boy who has an Igbo mother. Let me ask you, would you Igbos allow him to go for an elective position in his mother's state in the East if he was a Nigerian politician? Won't your people remind him that he's just an Yoruba who has an Igbo mother?

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.
Lol, see Eboes shifting the goalpost. I thought a child belongs to the ethnic group of his father over here? Abi what changed na? Is Adetokunbo an Mbaise, Ngwa, Onitsha, Arochukwu name? Would you write this same bulcrap if Giannis was an unknown guy who got arrested for fraud? Won't you and your fellow Eboes have been shouting "Afonja!" all over the thread just because of his name Adetokunbo? Na wa oh! Lol.

Yemi always align herself to Igbos more than Yoruba.
Yemi just like Ugo and Ifeanyi Adeleke are products of both and you have no right to erase their ancestry just because they have a Yoruba surname.
Anybody that is a product of both end up representing both. So chill and stop stressing over Igbo/yoruba descendants.

People have to stress themselves over such descendants because if someone like yemi alade or davido gets a State government appointment they will empower more Igbos than Yorubas.

Lmao! His comment is so funny and ironic in that there's shorter in this country than Ngwa people from Abia State. An Igbo calling others short is one of the funniest things I've seen my life, lol.

Gbam! What I don't understand is why Itsekiri-Yoruba link threatens an Ikwerre man. All my life I don't think I have met more than half-a-dozen Ikwerre people. There is no connection between us and Ikwerre at all at all.
Itsekiri is a Yoruba subgroup like Ilaje, Ijebu, Egba, Oyo, Ibolo etc. If we leave NIgeria today to form our nation, the Itsekiri is definitely leaving with us. I love you people so much for not disappointing us your kinsmen from the Southwest.

Hello I'm Yoruba o


I'm just tryna point out the fact that he can choose to rep either of the two tribes


but surely his father's tribe is automatic



But you know the bond children share with mothers sometimes makes them tilt towards anything relating to the mother


Just saying

Just like Hakeem Olajuwon short and skinny? Olodo. Look at the picture of his father a tall man. His Igbo mother is very short.

And the tallest Nigerian is a Yoruba guy. And everyone knows Igbos are among the shortest in Nigeria.
Infact, Ngwa people from Abia state are the shortest people in Nigeria, lol.

Stop sounding like you are slow. There's nothing like 0.75 0.25. If his father is yoruba, then he is Yoruba. Same with yemi alade

You had to invent ratio to his tribe because of your inferiority complex

Ps: davidos mum is edo not igbo

Continue deceiving yourself because of your low self esteem. All over the world, you are from your fathers tribe. If yemi alade or whatsoever loved her mothers side more than her fathers. She should put her mothers surname instead okay

So far your surname is Yoruba, then you are Yoruba
