Dad is Yoruba and his mom is Ibo. If you check his twitter handle, there's actually "Ugo" there.

Mother's tribe is irrelevant in state of origin. You are from where you father is from.

Anthony Joshua


Adesanya ...aka. Style bender


Deontay Wilder


Tyson Fury


Even lionel Messi greàt grand father is Nigerian

You forget the UFC welterweight champion of the moment.Kamaru usman.he is also from Nigeria in Auchi.

GBOKASINCHA:
na lie igbo guys are thick tall and huge and very athletic

Say wetin? Getat! The shortest people I have ever met in Nigeria are Igbos and Calabar. The only thing for sure is that Igbos have yam legs. That I give to them.

Adetokunbo Omoluabi, You're Welcome to Oduduwa Republic and Biafra Republic.
You belong to the fertile lands (Southy)

Who are more shorter than Yorubas in Southern Nigeria

Romanoff:

Two tribes laying claims to the guy.

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

Which one we go believe now?

He said it himself that his name Adetokunbo was mispelt at the Greek passport office..

Wetin u wan hear again?
Ugochukwu ko, Chukwuchkwu ni

Uchasa:

Keep fooling yourself. Igbos on average are shorter than Yorubas. You can take that to the bank.

So the Antetokounmpo na even 'Adetokunbo'

Gather here if you know you can't pronounce the name, let take our legendary picture.

CSTRR:

I am a very progressive human being.
I don't pander to tribal BS in Nigeria.

Hard core igbos will even agree with you, but they would be wrong too.

A child is biologically made up of both the father and mother and belongs to both.

In the west, it even belongs to the mother more.

He is Yoruba, I agree. But he is Igbo too.

Ahem

Success has many fathers

Emilokoiyawon:

That's your own thinking. Most Yorubas I've met are shorter and thinner than Igbos on average. Most Igbos are tall and huge as compared to Yorubas.

Emilokoiyawon:

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.

They are both tall though the father is taller....the mother was a high jumper, father a soccer player/ dj

Adetokunbo?! This guy na Yoruba nigga o! He should try and visit Warri because Itsekiris are also Yoruba people. We are one family o! I will gladly host him in Warri. The dude is my favorite basketballer.

born in auchi. yoruba heritage. dad was in army stationed at auchi baracks

CSTRR:
Make igbos no allow yoruba chance them o. The greek freak is half igbo on his mother's side.lol

If its other way around the same you will say mother's tribe does not matter

You tribalistic clowns are here again! Are you arguing if Giannis has an Igbo mum or what? Or are you so docile that you can't check his profile to know where he is from.

His full name is : Giannis(Greek) Sina(Yoruba) Ugo(Igbo) Antetokunpo (Yoruba hellenized to Greek), so what's the fuss about?

Emilokoiyawon:

LMFAOROFLOL @ yam legs

No 50/50 for tribe o! My mom is from Plateau state but my state of origin is Delta, my father's state.

You're a clown and a devoted liar, Usman has nothing to do with Yoruba. Dude is a pure Edo boy.

toffyz:
Omo Wa ni

It's obvious from the name

Adetokunbo ~ Antetokunompo

Modified: I think his parents are late, If not this shouldn't be difficult to trace @ all, owing to the fact that he's now successful and everyone would like to associate with successful people.
I'm super sure his relatives either close or distant would show up when he comes around

Most likely to be from Oyo state!

It's boldly stated in his and his other three brothers who are also basketballers Wikipedia..
His Father is Charles a Yoruba man while his mother is Veronica an Igbo woman, he can claim the two tribes..
Infact they have a fifth brother who is the first born, he was left in Lagos with his grandma when they were immgrating to Greece.

The first born goes by an Ibo name

CSTRR:
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.

But CS_TRR you are the worst offender of this kind of tribalism now

Remember Olajuwon is Igbo from Arochukwu

ahn ahn we have argud this thing before now. the guy is pure yoruba to the core. abi you want me to supply pictures of his mother and father in traditional yoruba attires ?

Uchasa:


That's your own thinking. Most Yorubas I've met are shorter and thinner than Igbos on average. Most Igbos are tall and huge as compared to Yorubas.

not true. igbos are bigger but yorubas are taller. from my own observation

Fuckthamods:
If you're truly proud of black then you shouldn't have represent greece with fake greek surname. Rubbish


He said the truth, which one is attache by force now? What's so special in being attached to whatever? All these mumu yorubas sef..

check his profile on wikipedia.it's not his fault.he suffered been stateless for almost 18years if his life because of the Greece law on citizenship despite he was born and breed there.representing Greece for basketball give him opportunity to get Greece citizenship which error was made when transliterating his name into Greece alphabetical letters.hence forming another similar name while trying to transliterate it again from Greek to english.he was then privilege to have his Nigerian citizenship identity from Nigeria in 2015 after his recognition in basketball.
The whole scenario is never his fault.do you ever think of how a teenager will feel if he is been seen as outcast,osu,stateless in his country of birth and can't even claim his parent's country?it really hurts

HEAVEN4444:

That's a subjective assertion. I haven't met half the people you've met, and you've not met half the people I've met. I grew up in Lagos, but now base in my town, PH. While in Lagos, in my high school, the tallest boys I knew were Igbos, same when I went to University. Yours could be the other way round, so no problem.

Trace which root. I watched a documentary on their family and he seems to be from the West.
Maybe they Lost touch with their relations

Itshekiri people are Niger Deltans like me, not Yoruba. You are not itshekiri, concentrate on South West

its funny you say that because i have not met too many tall igbo boys in my lifetime and i aint no spring chicken. they are muscular but they are never tall. but these are just my own observations. maybe the tall ones are hiding from me

but i see tall hausa and yoruba guys everyday
