Father Yoruba, mother Igbo. This one is another Gbarebo.

They take a cue from the Osun State governor. Who is also half Igbo but balances his ethnicities well.

Preferito:
I watched the documentary and I didn't feel good when he said that his mum always frown at them whenever they try to speak Yoruba at home but she was cool with them speaking Igbo. His father is Yoruba while his mother is Igbo. But that doesn't mean that she should shield them from learning their father's culture.

thats why Gbadebo cannot speak yoruba

You can watch the video here:

Why Lagos?

Onitsha and Enugu and other Igbo hinterlands are the best places to learn.

I thought his father was Yoruba?

He should speedily change his surname from Adetokunbo to whatever is mother's maiden name was... abi what sort of tomfoolery is this ke? You dey bear Yoruba surname come dey propagate only Igbo language? Why do women like confusing their children like this? You can't even allow the children to do something in the memory of their late father despite all he suffered to bring up these kids with you?

The man don die since and now you are the only one enjoying the wealth of your children yet you are angry when they tried to learn their father's language and preferred them learning yours instead? The man is no longer alive yet you are still competing with him, no be juju be that?

The least you could have done is support them in learning both languages...abi no be one Nigeria again?

Easy before you choke to dead.

You can ALWAYS count on black people to be especially DUMB. It doesn't matter how wealthy or famous they get.

Imagine establishing an Igbo Language learning school IN Lagos. A language that kids probably ONLY speak at home where they'd already learn it anyway.

It's an EXTREMELY dumb initiative.

Kids don't need to learn a language that is NOT the official language of any country. A language that's spoken by only about 40/50 million people.

Rather, a talent scouting agency or coding school or even trade school would have been a better project.

Yes Adetokunbo but spelt in Greek alphabet.

You can establish yours if you are able, stop badmouthing if you lack the ability to do it right.

I pity any man that marries an igbo wan especially if u aren’t igbo

See the case of chinedu in Lagos, nothing is heard about d father despite been alive n the guy hates yorubas but love igbo

Many of them train their kids from tender age to hate yorubas

Agbado thugs on Twitter are already crying 😭

Those you call thugs are actually more intelligent than you. Governor of Osun can speak both Yoruba and Igbo. Both languages can co-exist just like the Chinese and Indian kids in western countries can speak their language and English.

Don't blame the guy, the idea is probably his mother's idea. She most certainly changed their surname. Nobody will just accept the type of mistake they attributed to the weird sounding name.

This is a case where a father lost his home to his wife.
Even the Yoruba last name is spelt wrongly.

Armaggedon:
Not surprising. It's common for most Nigerians with Igbo maternal links to identify as Igbo .

that's how it ought to be

I am sorry but most Yoruba men are irresponsible. Ask Yoruba women married to Igbo men, they will tell you that Igbo men don't joke with their family.

If you are an irresponsible man you want your wife and children to still adore you, bros park one side.

Now you understand how Gbadebo finished himself compared with Ademola Adeleke in Osun. The moment they sense your mother is an ‘agenda’ one, just forget it.

Better for him. Since they claimed that GRV is an Igbo man

DanseMacabre:
That's the Hellenic (Greek) pronunciation.

It's NOT a Greek pronunciation.

Even the Greeks who were interviewed in the media don't know the literal meaning of Antetokoumpo because it's NOT a Hellenic or Greek name. Giannis had to tell them that it means "From across the sea" which literally has the same meaning for the name Adetokunbo which means "A crown brought from across the ocean (or sea)" in the Yoruba language.

That corrupted name "Antetokoumpo" was a so-called misspelling in the documentation of the family Yoruba name Adetokunbo when Giannis' passport was being prepared for him after he turned 18 years because he and his four brothers were NOT officially Greek citizens even though they were born in Greece to non-Greek parents. The first born child of the family, Francis Ofili Adetokunbo was left behind in Lagos, Nigeria when Charles Adetokunbo and his wife migrated to Greece in 1991 via Turkey for greener pastures.

You are not an Igbo,so Oga rest..
If you are an Igbo you would know the relevance of what he did to the Igbo community..
Don't ever use what obtains in your neck of the woods to judge others..

You sound envious. Igbo is more valuable than coding and and talent scouting. IF you don't believe so, don't enroll.

The father is Yoruba while is mother is Igbo

"While the world knows Antetokounmpo for his Greek nationality, popularly touted as the "Greek Freak," a nickname he's embraced, those closest to him call him "Ugo." It's the star's Nigerian name, as he's the son of parents Charles and Veronica Adetokunbo. They immigrated from Lagos to Athens, having to change their surname to Antetokounmpo in the process, and there, the star and three of his four brothers were born."

And now he's dead ,it's totally gone. As a foreigner he doesn't understand what he just narrated but as an Igbo,I was appalled with what the mother did added to the Igbo learning center.Nah!
Those boys just lost out on the knowledge of 2 major languages because of 2 ppl's ego.

how will u claim a Yoruba man when u were born n brought up in lagos( Yoruba land) but u can’t speak Yoruba but u can speak igbo

He even has a chieftancy title in faraway igbo land but cant relate with yorubas in any way n that same person want to claim Yoruba?

Same man who insulted yorubas n called them derogatory names

EZIGBO NWADIANI!!! WE APPRECIATE YOU GIANNIS. I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THE CHANCE MEETING IN ATHENS.

RIGHT THING TO DO. AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU'LL BE REGARDED JUST AS GBADEBO RHODES.
