BluntBoy:Is not about admins..if it was wrong people would have most likely argued about it and Wikipedia would have taken it down..so far it stays is correct |

murphyibiam15: When last was the page modifed? As for the bold, I am just seeing the page. Maybe many people have not seen it yet. So, the fact that it hasn't been modified does not mean that it is correct. I am sure this is the work of a mischievous editor. |
Re: Samuel ETO'O IS From Ebonyi State by murphyibiam15(m): 9:51pm On Dec 28, 2019 |
BluntBoy:I get u..but atleast every other information there is verifiable and correct which makes this one to be true, if not it would have been taken down long before now |
Re: Samuel ETO'O IS From Ebonyi State by murphyibiam15(m): 9:53pm On Dec 28, 2019 |
BluntBoy:You can't call it mischievous since you don't even know how true it is yourself..you should rather say u can't verify now..but every other thing there is correct so is most likely correct 1 Like 1 Share |

murphyibiam15: How sure are you that all the information there are correct? Some of the information may even be outdated. There are Wikipedia pages that have not been modified for many years. |

BluntBoy:It isn't the admins duty to monitor every page, monitoring is every contributors duty. If any one has evidence (or not, for that matter), that Eto is not from Ebonyi they can edit. Disputes would involve admins checking evidence, and only the truth would stand eventually, or wiki would have died by now. You may all wish to read about malicious editing of Wikipedia pages.

BluntBoy:I'm 100% sure of those information there and yet to confirm that of Eto, ..atleast I know those people listed there before now. |

BluntBoy:You might have a point. Evidence for his fathers hometown is scarce. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49687395

budaatum: You are getting everything wrong. Where did I write that the admins monitor the page? Moreover, Wikipedia pages are not always the same. Pages like Ebonyi can go years without much traffic which is why rate of modifications might be almost unnoticeable. Be truthful. How many Wikipedia pages of Nigerian states do you visit? These pages can stay unmodified for months. |

BluntBoy:I visit enough, though its not my major source for Naija info since I'm perfectly aware we Nigerians barely edit wiki and when we do we tend to post what we think and believe with no verification whatsoever just as we do here. Some wiki pages are continously disputed with lots of to and fro in the background. There is a reason it is not accepted in academia. Besides, on important issues, wiki should not be one's sole source for reasons you and others have mentioned. |

Please note that despite my research, I can not conclude that Samuel Eto'o is Nigerian from Ebonyi State. 1 Like |

Igbos can claim anything. Recently they were claiming davido (saying his grandmother is Igbo - which is not true btw), davido that Yorubas don't even like that much because of his pride |

YungMillionaire:u don't like Davido because of his pride and u are in pains because samuel Eto'o is from ebonyi state my brother u must change ur altitude dis year, don't say I didn't tellbu |
Re: Samuel ETO'O IS From Ebonyi State by YungMillionaire: 2:55pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
meeky007: Guy, number 1 I am not Yoruba. And yes I know Wizkid is far more popular among Yorubas than Davido. Number 2 Eto is not Igbo. Stop spreading this needless lie. If its football legends Igbos have yanfuyanfu, you don't need to be claiming a Camerounian. |

Seems it is true, I know someone that said he is his cousin and was even showing me a prove to that. Not really convinced but the guy has all the evidence to prove.

YungMillionaire: You are definitely losing the handle. How can Igbo claim a Yari.ba? Even his mother is Igbo, Ndigbo will not even claim him as Igbo. However, he/she deserves the right to choose his/her ethnicity. There are popular Yari.ba actors whose mothers were Igbo yet Ndigbo have not claimed them. |
Re: Samuel ETO'O IS From Ebonyi State by Dedetwo(m): 8:59am On Dec 31, 2019 |
Eto = Praise in Igbo Etochukwu = Praise God The Eto might have been abbreviated and reconstructed to fit into French lingo. |
