Okoroawusa:Watch the movie 'Rise' you will understand why. For a start, he didn't change it, Greek Govt did. Their father, a Yoruba man after moving from Lagos with his wife for greener pastures in Greece strived for more than 10yrs to get resident papers to no avail, when it finally came, the autority had changed Adetokumbo to the equivalent in Greak alphabet 'Antetokounmpo' so it never mattered cos he was at verge of even going for NBA draft in USA. The family was poor, couldn't afford rent... just watch the movie 1 Like |

Goalnaldo:Giannis was born in Greece to a Nigerian parents who had been filing for their papers before his birth. Giannis and his brothers were neither a Nigerian nor Greece citizen. They obtained their Greece citizenship in 2013 and that was because they saw some potential in Giannis. Imagine if they were solely a Nigerian citizen, would the Nigerian system have supported and developed their talents. 1 Like |

Thes people are not Nigerians. They are not patriotic not even citizens. They don't pay tax here, Thes people have denied Nigeria long time ago. Aside the name that they have manipulated. What else? Let's call a spade a spade abeg. It high time we stopped taking glory in shadows. Stop this unnecessary gumbody. Imagine antetokounmpo is still manageable. |

Okoroawusa:Giannis Adetokunbo has a Nigerian passport in addition to his Greek passport. When he first arrived the U.S. in 2012 to start his career in the NBA, all the family members had the Adetokunbo surname, but an alleged error on the side of Greek immigration officials led to the Antetokoumpo name which is a corruption of Adetokunbo, a Yoruba name which means a "crown brought from across the sea." Anthony Joshua is an Omo Oba or Prince of the Royal House of Sagamu in Ogun State and both of his parents are Ijebu-Yorubas. AJ's father was born by a white Irish woman in England and she returned to Nigeria with her husband in the 1950s. She worked at Dr. Tai Solarin's iconic May Flower School in Ikenne, Ogun State alongside Sheila Solarin, OBE, the English wife of Dr. Tai Solarin who served in the Royal Air force as one of the first black male pilots while schooling in England during WW2. Hope this helps. |
