Former ‘Togolese’ professional footballer has offered clarity on his ancestry, stating he’s an undiluted Yoruba man from Nigeria.

He had a chat with newsmen during the celebration of one of Nigeria’s football icons, Augustine Azuka Okocha aka Jay-Jay Okocha’s birthday.

"My father's name is Adeyi Adebayor and my mother's name is Alice Eniola Adekani, so I'm a pure Yoruba Man, I was just born in Togo, grow up in Togo and being raised by a Nigerian parents but I'm fully from Nigeria"

The former Super Eagles captain clocked 50 over the weekend and was massively celebrated.

To mark his Golden Jubilee birth anniversary, African football legends came together in Lagos to rejoice with former midfielder

Nigerian legends also turned up for the party including Peter Rufai, Daniel Amokachi, Emmanuel Emenike, Ifeanyi Udeze, Julius Aghahowa, Joseph Yobo, and a host of others.

Re: I’m A Pure Yoruba Man From Nigeria - Emmanuel Adebayor by Nobody:
We've always known, only that he has Togolese citizenship and played for their national side, which is fine.

PS: there are also native Yorubas in Togo, just like Benin Republic so I guess any narrative works for him.

Even with the bad state of the economy and enough tarnished image by ssome individuals committing crimes home and abroad, diasporans still proud to identify as Nigerian
Re: I’m A Pure Yoruba Man From Nigeria - Emmanuel Adebayor by lomprico(m): 9:25am On Aug 18, 2023
Lol, when Nigeria wanted you, you said you were from Togo and your Yoruba is not Nigeria's yoruba. What have now changed? Anyway you are welcome to identify with your roots but you are useless to us now.

It’s obvious.
Re: I’m A Pure Yoruba Man From Nigeria - Emmanuel Adebayor by UbanmeUdie: 9:26am On Aug 18, 2023
shocked

Good thing he never identified with Nigeria during his playing days.

Would not have been considered a legend in African football.

No wise footballer plays for Nigeria.

Only those with low self esteem, terrible playing skills and poor competitive capabilities do.

Only one of the super fouls give me joy these days.

I will be your Obama where it matters dear Michelle.

His origin will still not make our Emir in Ilorin change his mind about the Isese Festival. Long live our Emir of Ilorin. We are proud of your decision.
