An inspirational video. It depicts everything that success comprises. However, why didn't he visit his father's family? Why was it only his mother's side he had a lunch with?
Is it that once a man is dead, his line of family becomes alienated?

PROUDIGBO:


Hope you two sides don't start dragging the poor boy and tear his arms off in the process!

His only Nigerian name is Ugo short for ugochukwu…. Don’t know what you are talking about

Tonididdyx:
He will surely be back as you see that swallow... "He won't forget it in a hurry! "

Are there no Nigerian restaurants in Greece?

a yoruba man and an igbo woman came together to make magic, but the dunce on nairaland are always fighting each other... u are there shouting he is igbo, No he is yoruba, yoruba lagba, igbo amaka, do you not feel dumb to yourself that the person on whose matter u are displaying your stupidity is proud to represent both tribes.

itsIYKE:
Where did you see Adetokumbo in his name ……e pain am……you clearly saw Ugo short for ugochukwu which is his only Nigerian name …….now cry me a river

his name is giannis adetokunbo but spelt in greek form.

he is a proud yoruba blood and not an omo igbo

He should thank God his parents left Nigeria. If they remained, he'll only be known as "dogo" or that tall guy

aspabay:
He is 100 % Yoruba.
Adetokunbo is the surname but misspelled in Greece as Antetokounmpo

The family has changed their name .

sukkot:
Very sad story in how his dad and his mother hated each other’s culture and were trying to impose their own respective culture on the children. He said his dad would get angry if his mom tried to teach him Igbo and his mom would get angry if the dad tried to teach him Yoruba and because of that he never learnt any Nigerian language because he didn’t want to let any of his parents down by learning the others language and culture. Such a toxic environment.

Amebo, where did you hear this one!? Or you think it's not normal for children born abroad not to know how to speak their mother or father tongue? You have Nigerian families abroad whose parents are from one ethnicity, yet their kids don't speak their language! They may understand it, but it's hard to find the children speaking it fluently! Have you heard the boxer Joshua speaking Yoruba? Yet either both his paents are Yoruba....or his Mother is and his Dad isn't Nigerian, i can't remember now!

buy data and watch the video bro. Everything I said I got from Gianni’s own mouth in the video

aspabay:

Well..he chose igbo instead...cos he came out from an Igbo woman's womb... And he speaks abit of Igbo and ate Igbo food

PoloG:
yes. Ugochukwu sounds like the name of an animal.

Here's yet another accomplished Ugochukwu! Does he look like a 'animal' to you?

U can see this tribal bigot

Nice

ATEAMS:
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

So what's the purpose of it all after you die?

Lol home ke? He should go to the slums that's home

Great omoluabi putting the race on the world map

UGO
A homecoming story.

The name is Ugo. Those closest to him know him by that name.

PoloG:

The name is Ugo. Deal with it.

I wonder what the bigots would say if Giannis expresses interest in politics of Lagos in the near future. Would he be castigated for being 50 PERCENT ANAMBRA IGBO FROM ATANI?

Idioots everywhere?

itsIYKE:
Welcome home Ugochukwu……Igbos are great

Can Yoruba parents have an Igbo child?

Misterone:
Can Yoruba parents have an Igbo child?

The guy is of both Yoruba and Igbo heritage!

PoloG:

He bears Igbo name Ugo that is ugochukwu: meaning Gods honor. All his brothers bears igbo names too. Igbo mother I think and probably Igbo grand mum too.?intermarriage between Omoluabi men and Igbo women always produce a stronger Omoluabi kids. The rate is extremely high. There is now fifty percent chances of having great Omoluabi children who are half Omoluabi and Igbo bloodline. They full here in the US. Most Omoluabi men here married SE women. The rate is high.

Actually What Giannis himself said is an indication of that subtle rivalry(maybe not as unhealthy as it is on nairaland). When talking about the agabda and fabric, He said for once in his life he was able to put together where his dad and mum are from together, without feeling like he's letting one of them down, and believe me if a man has to live his life with 2 persons he loves and it feels like identifying with one is letting the other down, then it is truly going to be toxic. But then I think we should focus on what is important for the guy, which is coming back to NIGERIA and meeting his extended family

Which part of Igbo land is he from,pls? Anyone to tell?

His father is yoruba the momis igbo.. So is more like chinedu rhodes vivour...

Most...?
Like 51% and above?

That's a very bogus lie!

...and marriage between Omoluabis produce weak children?
