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.

The whites are thieves

See how they mispelt his name from a Yoruba word to a Greek word and colonized him.

Chai!

The way you terrorist northerners argue with your stupid low IQd quota system selves eeh, I fear una. This kind of laziness can only be a manifestation of illiteracy, two people in their houses that give no shit about you is what you want others to argue with you who is wealthier. Oga go and eat because both your headslamming religion and malnutrition is affecting your brain.
