Shut your mouth. You are a mumu man! You are from Rivers state trying to dictate to a Warri man how to express my heritage? Are you madt? I have more in common with Plateau state (my mom's side) than I have with Ikwerre. What is Ikwerre? Wetin concern me with WAZOBIA? In case you don't know Imo and Ondo states are part of Niger Delta. So, I should also allow an Imo and Ondo man to dictate my life in Warri? Getat!

You are not from Warri! No Warri man will talk like you. You must be from one of the domineering WAZOBIA ethnicities

Just trying to tell you to do away with your low self esteem. Yorubas don't force themselves on people. If only your mother is Yoruba, then you aren't Yoruba unlike insecure low self esteem dudes like you

Your mum isn't Yoruba. gringrin

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?

How was my comment tribalistic ooo..
I emphasized on what the news said he said..

His father is Charles a Yoruba man, his mother Veronica an Igbo woman.
He has three basketballers as brothers and the first born which is their fifth brother is a footballer, infact he was left with his grandma when his parents were immigrating..

Do u even know the meaning of tribalism?
I didn't deviate from what the news said, u just wanna show how vulnerable u are when it comes to trying to attack what's not after u..
U accused me of tribalism while u are the tribalistic bigot hear, who know Gianni's papa or mama wey I go wan dey attach with am, e concern me


Enu e lowa yen!

when I said the guy is Igala

I was being sarcastic if you didn't understand the joke you could have asked

Secondly the fact you didn't know there are pure breed yoruba indigenous to Kogi kwara and niger state means you are likely not yoruba which is fair enough

Thirdly I added a clause saying this is my definition meaning our political orientation matters and Igala dont hold much loyalty towards yoruba people their loyalty seems to be pro north

And I'm telling you once you're born of two different ethnic nations you're more of a chameleon because you can be for either side.

If both your parents are of the same ethnicity then your current girlfriend or wife is of a different ethnicity.

But his name is also ugochukwu.
It's on his Twitter page.

Is ugochukwu a Yoruba name?

So, can he win a elective position in his mother's state in Igboland if he was a Nigerian politician? Won't you Eboes remind him that he's a bloody Yoruba that has an Eboe mother?

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.
There's no group of people in Nigeria shorter than Ngwa people, lol. Go and sleep.

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.
Okay. But can any of Yemi Alade, Giannis Adetokunbo, and Ifeanyi Adeleke go to their mother's state in Igboland to contest for an elective position? Won't your Eboe people remind them that they're bloody Yoruba that only have an Eboe mother?

Basketball stars are usually tall or taller than most people.
However when it comes to Nigeria, Igbos are taller than Yorubas while the tallest Nigerians are Fulanis and the middle belt.


Igbos on average are taller than Yorubas.
Yeah, Igbos are so tall just like Ngwa people, lol.
