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. Congratulations 🎊

“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.
avoid naija and know peace.

Yemisi Ogunleye Wins Gold Medal For Germany In Women's Shot Put At The Olympics. But very sad that Nigeria is back without a medal.
Had she chosen Nigeria as against Germany, at Nigeria would have gone home a 🥇 Gold Medal. What went wrong Nigeria did not invite her to come and that in the name of Nigeria?

I doubt if she understands yoruba or the meaning of her name. I don't consider her as a black woman

This is the type of stuff thrown at Yoruba daily online from Nigerians and some will open their gutter mouth and call Yoruba tribalists. Yoruba people are built different so they will keep crying
God bless you, bless your generations.

As for me I don't even care again if anybody calls me a tribalist, it's more like a badge of honour. 😂

Same hypocrites that celebrated mc oloma for blocking pregnant igbo and SS women from voting in Lagos in 2023 elections because of their tribe will come here to show their dirty yellow teeth to a girl who now identifies as German, seeking cultural attachment and relevance to success built by others by fire by force in this case Germany; while celebrating the destruction of their own country and subsequent their impoverishment because of an inconsequential bitterness for Igbos …smh
What you sow, you reap.

Igbos are not innocent.

If she was truly proud of Tinubu and we yorubas, she would have represented Nigeria..

I guess she did not want to identify with failure.. grin

What of those in her shoes but still chose Nigeria like our football players? What of the hammer throwing lady who won silver for America who's a typical black whose both parents are Nigerian? She came home to represent us but was dropped because she couldn't afford the money they're asking her to pay? The problem isn't about being a half caste or full blooded Nigerian but corruption in the system. I wish yemisi was a Nigerian doing us proud when she won that feat. I watched her live.

We are almost 300m in population. The majority of us can actually do much better. Tobi amusan made me believe so. But with the corruption in the system, it will never happen..thanks to God tobi went to school in America on scholarship. Her destiny would have been ruined here.

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 pageantry

What a shame
Leadership says it all. If she's Ghanaian, she'd not have been treated same way, talkless being an American competing in SA

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
...the reason is corruption. If those who made it could tell you what they went through, including bribing,.you'd weep for Nigeria.

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”
She won a medal for Germany not Nigeria or Yoruba.

Your Shythole shameless country got 0.

Your father is an asshole......

You can choose to shy away from the truth, but the truth remains the truth....... Tell me how many medals Nigerian's got in this Olympics vs medals Nigerian's wearing another flag, got for their adopted countries.....

I wonder why your hopeless father spent money educating you (wasted resources)......
ANIMAL, WHO STOPPED YOU AND YOUR SMELLY MOTHER FROM CONTESTING AT THE OLYMPICS?

Who owes you a medal at the Olympics?

AREN'T YOU GOOD AT ANY SPORT?

Why have you not perfected yourself at any sport and contested like your mates?

LAZY ASSHOLE SITTING IN YOUR PARLOUR ABUSING THE COUNTRY FOR NOT BRINGING YOU GOLD MEDAL.

WHAT HAVE YOU EVER DONE FOR NIGERIA APART FROM BADMOUTH HER, YOU BASTARD FROM HELL?

Just go back and continue your SIT AT HOME, because you are not one of us.

Demonic OUTCAST.

See his dirty face demanding Gold medals from a country he hates.

Tell SIMON EKPA to go and win you medals, you dirty little maggot.

She will just believe that " our Lagos is everything" and other people should leave Lagos for her alone. God bless Germany for giving her a chance to see real life.
