Omo oluwabi atata

Yoruba lokan worldwide

Just pray for this Nigga make one chikita no empty bin brain pack half him money go

I don't know the morals of this story to the government?

We can't see growth in Africa when all the human and natural resources we are blessed with is acquisition by other continents who are better !

And the governors and the fgn will be saying they want to make the country better!

With what ? Stone and animals ?

There are millions of Moro Ojomo here, being frustrated by Nigeria. Why are they celebrating who escaped their jinx to excel in another country that gave him what it took to showcase his potential.

Nigeria should be ashamed of themselves. This is one reason your useless leaders don't see anything wrong with what they are doing here. Don't giving credit to your oppressors, that is stupidity

Be deceiving yourself. For a person that manages a black celeb finance years back and you call such person a racist? Abeg which of the black American don ever fight for blacks if not for their pocket gain? Is it Obama that frustrated Nigeria because we refused to allow gay and transgender? Be like you all are just filled with hate and can never see the truth.

YesDaddyTill203:
Well, the Felon Trump that some Nigerians are supporting will not like this either.
I can bet you that his pissed that this guy and others displayed other flags.
The village idiot is probably thinking of condemning such act by now.
Trump is trying to turn the US into a dictatorship just like those countries.

Adetokunbo is never an ibo name, stop type and thinking low or because of his mum manipulation you think he is ibo.
The boy confirmed that he met with his father's family, and he was surprised they resembled each other.

Meanwhile, ibos are talented people no doubt but recent events show that Yorubas are more talented

Lol I understand you will eventually die of frustration but let me quickly make some things clear to you before you kpai

1. Yorubas have always been far ahead of the Igbos in every means of human endeavours, they started to blow their own trumpet too recently when you guys won't stop chest beating and making too much noise over every little achievement to the extent of attributing every single achievement to "Igbo blood" 😂

2. Kemi rejected you m.isfits in Nigeria but never rejected her Yoruba heritage. She openly declared that she's Yoruba and not Nigerian. 😆

3. The third guy has a Yoruba father and Igbo mother. In his case he decided to do the wish of his mum since his father is dead and wanted to please his mom (he openly said his mum gets mad anytime he speaks his father's language)... Let his mum die first and let's see if he won't come back looking for his father's house. 😆

Plus you forgot to mention Tobi Amusan and Anthony Joshua. Why?? 😂 😂 😂

Green white green! Congrats Morotoluwa.

Proud of this guy.

Apart from Americans, more people of Nigeria heritage are in the NFL than any other country.

NewDigitalWorld:
From the bustling streets of Lagos to the grand stage of the Super Bowl, Moro Ojomo has written his name in history after leading Philadelphia Eagles to a Super Bowl triumph.

On February 9, 2025, before a roaring crowd, Ojomo and his Philadelphia Eagles soared to victory, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX.

Though a hard-fought win, it secured the Eagles’ fifth NFL title but also served as sweet revenge for their Super Bowl LVII defeat at the hands of the same opponent.

Moro Ojomo’s journey to stardom

Ojomo’s story is one of astounding transition. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, he crossed the Atlantic at the age of seven, as his family relocated to California in 2009. His father served as a pastor, while his mother worked in the information technology sector. During his seventh-grade year, the family moved again, settling in Houston, Texas.

Attending Katy High School, Moro Ojomo was two years younger than most of his classmates, having begun his education at the age of three in his home country. He did not participate in varsity football during his freshman or sophomore years and admitted that, at the time, he had yet to develop a proper workout routine. However, after his sophomore year, he became dedicated to weight training and running, eventually securing a spot on the varsity team as a junior. His efforts paid off, as he earned All-District honors as a defensive lineman by the end of the season.

After starting the fall as a third-stringer, he gained confidence with more time on the field. He worked his way into a starting role and ended the season earning all-district honors. Then, in his senior year, he became one of the most dominant defensive linemen in the state.

“Nothing comes in life without hard work. I know that,” Ojomo said then as quoted by JokersMag.

“That’s why my story is a lot different than a lot of these kids who’ve been good all their years in high school. They’ve been ‘The Guy’ ever since junior high. I know what it’s like to compete for a starting spot. A lot of these kids don’t know that.”

During his five-year tenure with the Longhorns—a journey that spanned the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic—Moro Ojomo amassed 95 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, and five sacks.

In January 2023, when he declared for the NFL Draft, he expressed his enthusiasm for the road ahead.

“I am incredibly excited about what the future holds,” he wrote.

However, as draft day unfolded, his initial optimism gave way to anxiety. By the time the seventh round was halfway through, his name had yet to be called.

“I thought it was over.”

Then, with only 11 picks remaining, his phone finally rang.

On the other end was Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman—someone well acquainted with the trials of overcoming adversity.

“We’re gonna take you here, man,” Roseman told him.

“We can’t believe you’re here in the seventh round. We know you’re gonna show the world what kind of player you are… and we’re excited to get you.”

In the background of the recorded call, his sister’s joyful shrieks echoed the moment’s significance.

Katy High School head coach Gary Joseph later reflected on the resilience that defined Moro’s journey.

“The kids who you’re really proud of are ones who are self-made football players,” Joseph said.

“They work with what they have, and he’s one of those kids. He worked. It wasn’t a fluke.”

As a rookie, Moro Ojomo played just 6% of the Eagles’ defensive snaps. But in 2024, he earned a more prominent role on the field.

And when the stakes were highest, he delivered—recording his first NFL sack in the fourth quarter of a playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams.

His belief in himself had never wavered, not even years earlier.

“People used to laugh at me in sophomore year when I told ’em I was gonna start,” he had said back in 2018. “They’re gonna realize it when I do what I plan to do… They’re gonna be like, ‘Wow, we really missed on this one.’”

Playing in every regular season game and all four playoff contests, he racked up 20 tackles and etched his name into Eagles’ history with his first career sack during the NFC Divisional clash against the Los Angeles Rams.

Remarkable Super Bowl Performance

In the Super Bowl itself, Ojomo was a force to be reckoned with. His two tackles and a crucial tackle for loss contributed to the Eagles’ defensive dominance, a performance that stifled the usually explosive Patrick Mahomes and kept the Chiefs scoreless for a remarkable stretch of nearly three quarters. He played an important role in the Eagles’ defensive strategy, helping to contain one of the most potent offenses in the league.

Ojomo joins the Hall of Fame

Ojomo’s victory is more than just a personal triumph; it’s a testament to the growing influence of Nigerian athletes in the NFL. He joins a distinguished group of players like C.J. Uzomah, Chukwuebuka Godrick, Chris Oladokun, and Charles Omenihu, all of Nigerian heritage, who are making their mark on the gridiron.

Ojomo’s Super Bowl ring goes beyond being a symbol of his individual achievement, but a beacon of inspiration for aspiring athletes across the globe.

Congratulations to Morotoluwa (Moro) Ojomo. He's been a "badass kid" in the NFL field of play with the Philadelphia Eagles... Repping the bloodline from the legendary two-time NBA MVPs, Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon of the Houston Rockets, and of recent Giannis Adetokunbo of the Milwaukee Bucks, to the boxing heavyweight Anthony Joshua (AJ), Israel Adesanya (Style Bender), to the Grammy Award winners and nominees of Nigerian descent from 1986 such as Folasade (Sade) Adu, SEAL, Chamillionaire, Nigerian-American rapper Wale, to the political space with Adewale (Wally) Adeyemo who served as the U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury in the President Joe Biden administration, and much more.
