You are right!
My sons are same age group as Anthony Joshua. They’ve never stepped foot in Nigeria but understand and speak a bit of our language.
A lot us parents who migrated from Naija in the 70s and 80s imbibed a lot of our culture in our children. For example, even though my grown sons haven’t been to Nigeria, they know which “swallow” goes with what! They combine amala with ewedu and pounded yam with Egusi. My first son cooks some Naija food expertly. His English fiancée enjoys jollof rice and will tuck in with him to enjoy amala. All of these and more bodes well for my grandchildren as they won’t lose their heritage.

So, I always laugh when I read some posts here making ignorant assertions about “abroad” children. They may be British, American etc. by birth and nationality, but people shouldn’t dispute some of their Naija upbringing cos it is Nigerian people from Nigeria that birthed and brought them up!

wonder shall-never-end, see person dey form grandmother for Nairaland. Áwön scammers.

Why are y'all trying to claim this guy by force, who cares ,he is a British on paper,that's all.aren't you people ashamed of clinching, don't y'all got any self respect.

The Olufemi in his name is also a British name.

Saraki holds British citizenship, Sowore holds American citizenship, Kanu holds British citizenship, Ajimobi holds British citizenship. All on paper.

If we say they are Nigerians, are we clinching?

Use your big head to think na.

Singing his praises now cos he is a champion and a success. Can't recall the last tym anyone talked about Samuel Peter. Well, am not surprised. If Jesus Christ who was highly sought after everywhere he went: healing the sick,raising the dead etc yet was mocked and blackmailed when he was enroute to crucifixion then who are we not to go thru same things..
" Success has many friends but a failure is an orphan"
Do u wanna know ur real/true friends, boy/ girlfriend worthy to settle down with ? They are/ he or she is that one that sticks around u when u are down.

Nigerians and friendship by association

He spoke next to nothing na..

"Ma pa mi o" (Don't kill me)

Even though I am an ijebu guy myself, I could still figure out that the guy recording the video just wanted to get him to say something to get views for the video.

Yoruba Amaka

He is not a Nigerian. Stop claiming him. He is British ( in afonja "H" factor voice)

Same way Chiwetel Ejiofor is not Ibo.

Another pained omo Ibo spotted.

Thats what happens when people are lazy and lack imagination. Too lazy to build anything so its easier to reach. The AJ is part Irish I dont hear Irish people claiming him. Same way Katie Taylor is part English. You wont see the English claiming her by force.

I'm 24 with Bsc in microbiology holder, skills in programing and graphics design.

Thumbs up madam for doing a good job unlike some other parents whose kids imbibed the street gang culture with the attendant violence and frustration all around. Naija values keep most children on the good path if diligently and warmly taught. God bless your family more.

Anthony Joshua had his rough patches but one can see the effect of his parents unrelenting work on him.

Thanks.
Blessings to you and yours too.

So, what has changed?

Brain is far from you I swear.

Eeyah...sorry. I already made a rule never to reply a fool twice, it is not a productive use of my time and intellect. I wish you quick recovery!

Is there something you yorubas collected from those people you didn't return?
I asked because the derogatory words used by them for ONLY the yorubas on this forum no be here o.
If I haven't set foot in the southwest before and married from there,I would have believed everybody in Yoruba land is ugly o and dirty as fvck going by what the igbos used to write here.

My Good man,
Thank God you came to Yorubaland and see things for yourself, you even married one of us .
We didn't collect anything from them oh. Its in their nature to be bitter and envious of the Yorubas .
Live them, na we be their Oga.

The bitter hatred most Ibos harbour against Yoruba people, runs in the Igbo bloodstream.

Nothing can be done except to watch and wait for it to kill the stupid ones among them who do not try to control it.

And yes, it kills them eventually and also sends them to hell

Before long all the culture that you think they have imbibed will fade into oblivion because they don't know what it feels like to have Yoruba banters with peers, they don't have the culture first hand like you. It will die off, and did you say they've never being in Nigeria?? forget it they're not Yoruba. My friend migrated to USA three years ago on winning the lottery. When we spoke on phone, he rebutted my statement that his two year old son is an oyibo child, he claims he and his wife will teach him Yoruba. I find that ridiculous.

I posted this in another thread in response to one hate-filled yoot:



"You sound like a typical ipob yoot. You and your likes have been jumping from one thread to another telling us AJ is not Nigerian because he is not a Chibuzor. Yet, everyday you all celebrate one Ikechukwu or Nonso who won council election in Canada, UK and so on with the chants of Igbo Amaka. A lot of your tribesmen you all celebrate here have citizenship of other countries.

The link in the news is from "Independent", a British news outlet and it is well referenced that he is of Nigerian heritage and he even wanted to represent Nigeria in 2008 olympics. This same AJ whose Nigerian heritage you like to mock or undermined has a tatoo of Nigeria on his arm. Those of us who know him long before he became popular knows that he studied till JSS2 at Mayflower in Ikenne, Ogun State and he never shied away from associating with Nigeria. However, Britain gave him the platform he has today.
By the way, Nigeria is a dream-killer. If he didn't tow the path he towed, he might be nobody today."

If you see anyone undermining Joshua's Yoruba heritage, just know that the person is 98% likely to be from that side.

Wa shere joor! You get mouth!

Can we now see the inferiority among we Africans? So if Andy Fury speak Mexico now it will be news

Thanks MAmah!

What would you advise on interculture marriage living abroad?

Re your question: my advise, if asked, would be for to go for who you love and vice versa and who can commit to making the marriage work. There are inter-culture marriages that work ( I know a few), and there are some that don’t. It all depends on meeting the right person and both committing to making the marriage work.

Nnamdi kanu too is British, therefore he's not igbo (beerfraud) ... going by your logic.

This is one of the reasons I rarely post here. The rudeness and childishness. It’s a shame really, cos people like me could maybe add some positive contributions here and there.

For the record, I don’t have any “pain”. Don’t project your life or the life of someone you know unto me.

You don’t know me. You don’t know my sons. Thank you.

That's good of you. Quite a few nigerian parents don't imbibe their culture and language to the kids here...and they complain we're so rude and uncultured?

Am not surprised about him speaking Yoruba. I learnt that he had his secondary School in Mayflower Ikene.
