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

not really its a Nigerian woman thing. I have seen others who blended it well.

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.

after na una go dey claim highest population of Christians yet you guys never behave like him. Shey werin you write up dey make any sense

Una wey claim highest population of Muslims at least I will give it to you guys that you are as hateful as your prophet and has no qualms in ripping off the head of your relatives both dead and alive.

Will you sharap whats the difference between you guys and Muslims? All abrahamic religions are scam, thats why you all live on fake hope. No one does evil in Nigeria like Christians and muslims. We the juju people of naija when we get into power, we will flush those two yahoo religions out of naija!!!

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?

Obviously, the boy has been brainwashed by the mother.
That's another 'Gbarebo' for you.
That 'Adetokunbo' he's bearing is still paining her; if she has her way she'll change it so as to erase any thing that'll link her/her children to Yorubas

If the father were alive, will this buffoonery
happen??

proff010:
Lost son

No sir, its 'foolísh father' FIRST before a 'lost son'.

If the father had done d needful by marrying inwards, his seeds will not misplace their way.

Even if a Bishop marries the daughter of a devil priest, it will be a miracle for the offsprings not to follow the footsteps of their idol-worshipping mother.

This shd be a lesson to every 'yellow-pawpaw' chasing man.

Except a miracle occurs, this man's lineage is gone.

deji17:
That one na omo ale. Ignoring his father language.

My bloda, it's the mothers doing o.
Women, naturally, tend to brainwash their children against their father, but when the woman now adds bigotry to the mix, the result is what we are seeing in this case just as the case of 'Gbarebo'.

And I blv u did not see where the boy said his mother always gets mad whenever he tries to speak yoruba abi??

Ensa777:
You ppl never get this. The language of the mother who is always around them is what Children would easily pick up . It is the duty of the father to also make sure he speaks his own whenever he's around .They may not reply you but with time they'd.Babies can pick up to 5 languages before 8 yrs.
My neighbor speaks Efik to her kids while her Igbo husband is busy warning her not to but would never speak Igbo to them.How do you expect the women who doesn't know your language to speak it to them.

Oga, the poor man died 7 years ago since 2017.
Find another excuse to support his mother's bigotry!

zubby4567:
Tribal man is that u ?
U forgot to mention where he said his father will always shun him when he wants to learn igbo

To key into ur 'logic', balance demands he should've established a yoruba language speaking institute in anambra to even the scores.

Usenokpevbo:
It would not have made any sense opening it in the east since Igbo is already spoken as a second language in the east. In Lagos there are millions of igbos who can’t speak or properly speak their language, so this is a great help. At the very least, 16-17 percent of lagosians are igbos

You were there to determine who first started d BS shey??

Giannis Ugo Atemtokumpos Signed for over 260m$ remain most expensive player in NBA history the guy is in the league of Messi and Ronaldo ,,even if u cry till eternity it change nothing,,,,,,,,Nuruden Adeleke, Desmond Eliot Yemi Alade Segun Arinze all have yoruba fathers and Igbo mothers respectively but speak both Nigeria language perfectly well
Ugo father started bitting morethan he can chew when he banned the children from ever learning there Igbo mum language and culture that was genesis of clash of intrest to the extent there mother have to hide while teaching them her language according to Sina Ugo atemtokumpos as expected the man will lost out because most children spend more time or embraces mother more while most Yoruba men marry Igbo women for love beauty and quality they possess Some marry Igbo women out of longer throats otherwise what is the like of FFK and Seyilaw doing with Igbo women they have Igbowomen at home and kids with Igbo blood flowing in them still going about shouting Yoruba ronu and ranting about Igbos

Konquest:
I want to come in here.

To be brutally honest, Charles Adetokunbo shouldn't have even accepted his children adopting the bastardized family name Antetokoumpo instead of Adetokunbo when the Greek passport folks made that misspelling error. That Antetokoumpo error ought to have been corrected long ago! That name "Antetokoumpo" is a very BIG insult to Yorubas and Africans (because even that name has NO meaning in the Greek language and many Greeks who were interviewed in the media don't know the meaning). African names have meanings. Many Nigerians and Africans in the Diaspora proudly rock their Yoruba, Asanti, or Swahili names, so it is sacrilegious to adopt a meaningless name in place of the original Adetokunbo family name.

The name Adetokunbo is a prestigious Yoruba name meaning "A crown brought from across the ocean (or sea)." It is the duty of every father to provide guidance or direction for his family and the mothers too should complement their spouses in a multicultural marriage setting. My BIGGEST wish would be for Thanasis, Giannis, and their two younger brothers living in the U.S. to officially REVERT back to the use of the original family name ADETOKUNBO.

In any event, I'm glad that Charles Adetokunbo who hailed from Abeokuta but lived in Lagos State with his wife and first son, Francis Adetokunbo before their 1991 migration to Greece met and interacted well with the basketball legend Hakeem "the Dream" Olajuwon who played for the Houston Rockets, in Texas, and was also the 1994 NBA, MVP just like Giannis became the 3rd ever person in NBA history to win an MVP. Hakeem Olajuwon interacts and trains with Giannis and the rest of his brothers. So, it is hoped that he would learn more about his father's Yoruba folks who number over 55 million people in Africa from Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana, and Ivory Coast, with a large Diaspora population of Yorubas in the U.S., UK, Canada, France, Belgium, etc.

Indeed, Giannis has a Yoruba father and an Ibo-speaking mother from the North of Delta State, so he has to gravitate towards both sides and Giannis' mother will do well to introduce her children to her late husband's family so that Giannis and his siblings would get to know their uncles, aunts, and cousins on their father's side of the family.

Last but not least, it wasn't a good PR for her and the family to take the 29-year-old Giannis 'Sina Ugo Adetokunbo to see only her own side of the family in Lagos without connecting with the paternal side. From here on out, there should be all-inclusiveness in embrassing cultural values from both sides of the family tree by the Adetokunbos.

Just pray not to marry a fuulish woman bcus, for every degree centigrade you increase the temperature of ur water, she dices it with iceblock thereby reducing the temperature by 10 degrees.

The resoluteness of this woman to inculcate her language/culture in their children's lives even transcends the death of her competitor husband.

Even in death, she still trudges on to stamp her language/culture in her children while neglecting anything that has to do with her husband's culture.

Truthcat:
The Yoruba who did that are deceiving themselves and will never learn. As far as I'm concerned he's igbo and that's where his heart will always be with his mom. What the guy did is right and natural, there's a stronger bond between a child and mom especially in intermarriages and that's why honest countries lean maternal, from Ghana to S.Africa to western countries. Same reason why I always say that Yoruba should never allow a person whose mother is not Yoruba get to a leadership position in Yorubaland, it's just common sense.

We are there already brah, 'Gbarebo' has opened a lot of eyes.

Never bro, never! May his soul continue to rest in peace but in the end the man-boy would eventually come to the full realisation of whatever she’s trying to cover up or isolate them from…hopefully.
