“In Germany, I'm the black girl; in Nigeria, in oyingbo” - German shot putter Yemisi Ogunleye


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU2oG6eIcp8?si=krqin5t4ubIrh_uj

Yemisi Ogunleye won the Gold medal in shot put for Germany, her maternal country, at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

In this her interview, Yemisi proudly identifies with her Yoruba and Nigerian roots.

Yemisi Ogunleye is equally a Gospel Musical Artist.

Thumbs up Yemisi, we celebrate you. I have a feeling that if both your parents are Nigerians ,you will choose Nigeria.

You're so intelligent, adorable, beautiful yet humble with no airs around you despite being a Star.

May God continue to elevate and bless you. Ọmọrebiiyan, Ọmọluabi Congratulations 🎊

Congratulations girl

COMRADES are speechless, win for Germany, loss for Nigeria

But, unfortunately, South Africa refused to give a chance to a Nigerian/ South African (with maternal/paternal backgrounds) to compete in a pageantry

What a shame

No level

Thank Goodness she represented Germany, we knew what the outcome could have been if she didn’t

I like her set of teeth

nonsense . and so what?

When I heard her singing in Yoruba, I knew the father did a nice job raising her. Naija blood choke!

So what should we now do

She fineeee

Congrats 🎉

Looking like her mom

Her Yoruba was clear when she sang that song.

Yoruba people always make sure that language and culture survive no matter where the go.

If she was in Nigeria, her dream would have died........

Shameful country.

She's German not Nigerian.

No one wants to identify with Nigeria.

What a useless shythole

Okay she is Yoruba.

She perfectly identifies with Yoruba and even speak and sing with it.

What else do you have to say “Mr Angry bird, 9Ja is a shythole crooner”

Kylekent59:
I like her teeth

go and remove it from her mouth

i am proud of her

Okay

She's been to Nigeria 4 times

Lagos and Oyo States

Maybe her father is from Oyo state but lives in Lagos

Her chances to represent Nigeria if she'd been raised in Nigeria might not have been achieved for some reasons

It's seems this tilumbu lickazz isn't been paid again 🤣

Ejiro igbo agwa ya onye ocha.....mara onwe gi...

Nice one

Hope her dad isn't just an inpregnator

Aww
