I watched the video.pls do without bias.Both parents scolded each other.They should have spoken both.The mother responded thus cos she was also stopped from speaking hers to them. Now the man's death just gave her upper hand. That's all

the man died in 2017, Giannis was already an adult of 22yrs so stop trying to redefine the narrative as you people always do. the video clearly states that this was when they were kids.

You can ALWAYS count on black people to be especially DUMB. It doesn't matter how wealthy or famous they get.

Imagine establishing an Igbo Language learning school IN Lagos. A language that kids probably ONLY speak at home where they'd already learn it anyway.

It's an EXTREMELY dumb initiative.

Kids don't need to learn a language that is NOT the official language of any country. A language that's spoken by only about 40/50 million people.

Rather, a talent scouting agency or coding school or even trade school would have been a better project.

IT IS THE STUPIDDITYY IN YOU that amazes me. At your age, you don't even have the decorum to know that YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY BLOODY RIGHT TO TELL A FULL GROWN ADULT WHAT TO DO WITH HIS OR HER MONEY.

Go and use YOUR OWN MONEY to establish your highlighted areas. His own is dumb. Okay mister wise one, go and establish your wise project with your own money ooo

I watched the documentary and I didn't feel good when he said that his mum always frown at them whenever they try to speak Yoruba at home but she was cool with them speaking Igbo. His father is Yoruba while his mother is Igbo. But that doesn't mean that she should shield them from learning their father's culture.


His mother most have strong hate towards Yoruba. Maybe she was the one who changed Adetokunbo to the name that doesn't exist anywhere in the world.

IGBO IS NOT YOUR BROTHER.


MOST CERTAINLY NOT JUNIOR TO YORUBA IN ANY SENSE OR WORD.


CORRECT YOURSELF!
That is the way Yoruba look at you since neons.
Yorubas have always helped you not vice versa(there could be, maybe unknown to most people,Igbos don't usually help Yoruba but it is always the Yoruba sticking out their necks for the Igbos)
Go into history,Yoruba have always helped the Igbos.
They have stood up as their senior brothers most times.
Maybe you don't like it but that is the reality.

The father was upset when the mom would teach Igbo also. Inter tribal marriages should teach kids both languages and cultures. Inter tribal marriages are the key to ONE NIGERIA smiley <3

Guys please dont make this tribal. Everyone knows kids tend to speak their mother's language and tend to be close to mom hence the term MOTHER TONGUE.
he supposed to learn the father's language first unless the father is a deadbeat.

But so many simp Yoruba men allowed ibo women to control them.
That's why chinedu can't speak Yoruba despite living in lagos a huge chunk of his life.

I thought his father was Yoruba?

He should speedily change his surname from Adetokunbo to whatever is mother's maiden name was... abi what sort of tomfoolery is this ke? You dey bear Yoruba surname come dey propagate only Igbo language? Why do women like confusing their children like this? You can't even allow the children to do something in the memory of their father despite all he suffered to bring up these kids with you?

The man don die since and now you are the only one enjoying the wealth of your children yet you are angry when they tried to learn their father's language and preferred them learning yours instead? The man is no longer alive yet you are still competing with him, no be juju be that?

The least you could have done is support them in learning both languages...abi no be one Nigeria again?

Agbadorian pain, is that you? grin

Not surprising. It's common for most Nigerians with Igbo maternal links to identify as Igbo .

If they chose to remain Igbo it is their choice. Where friction comes is when they now aspire for leadership in Yoruba land like one confused Sierra Ionian returnee did in the last election cycle

Why are you disgracing yourself up and down.

Even the oyibo you worship still understand the importance of language arts and culture to their people. People still study Latin, even Catalan that their total population is under 10 million still create centers for the new generation to learn their language.

Go to Ireland and see the push for them to learn their local language. Well of course I don't blame with the level of poverty in Nigeria and hunger thinking become very tasking for some people grin.

This is a case where a father lost his home to his wife.
Even the Yoruba last name is spelt wrongly.

I suspect that woman is still fighting her late husband. How best to get one up on him by establishing an Igbo language school in Lagos. Something her husband probably wouldn't have fancied.
That woman is on a mission. I think if she has the power she will change all Yoruba last names to some meaningless Greek sounding gibberish.

lmao, we are talking being liberal in igbo land this one is talking about people marrying igbos.

-Only ibo wants chinedu to govern lagos but wouldn't want ebonyi Muslim or hausa to become ordinary counsellor.
If dem like born you inside igwe palace, you can't amount to anything politically in igbo land.

-You cannot even become anything politically in ibo land if you marry outside ibo land.

- It's only ibos that have caste system that segregates pure born from OSU.

- If you are a Muslim, you are seen as an outsider.

- since 1999, no ibo states have appointed non ibo as special adviser or Ministeral job in any ibo states. Other states have done it.

But this one thinks ibos are liberals.

Infact dem no born Giannis adetokunbo and his mother well to become anything politically in south east. Ask yourself why he didn't situate school to learn Yoruba in anambra? I'm sure ipob would go and destroy it before Monday.
It's only in Yoruba land they can do nonsense.


PROVE ME WRONG IN ANY OF THIS POINTS BY BRINGING AN EXAMPLE.

Truth of the matter is that Gianni’s is a simp and a mamas boy but you can’t blame him for that because he is dealing with a battle axe called a mother. What you people need to understand is that Igbo people are very cohesive in culture and yet that culture does not allow the women to have any kind of power and yet they are tied to this culture so within this dynamics are the bull headed strong feminists who still want to be with men but are not willing to submit to being less than in the Igbo culture. You see these Igbo women who seek out Yoruba men to marry are feminists strong bull headed battle axe who are willing to break culture protocol to get what they want. To them feminists is greater than culture and being that they are not lesbian , they seek men from other cultures where they can dominate and be the battle axe that they are. So when you see an Igbo woman marrying a Yoruba man , that’s a battle axe who purposely chose that type of union because she wants dominance and the Igbo culture does not offer dominance. And if you look at the faces of these women they almost look like men. Look at aketis wife’s face or gbadebo mum or Gianni’s mum ? These are battle axes. And so a male child has no chance when even their fathers had no chance against these battle axes. Aketis son and gbarebo and Gianni’s ? All under the thumb of the battle axe feminist. They stood no chance against these dragons. And yet the battle axe loves her culture because she is from it but she just does not want to be subjugated to the fact that she has no power under it but she would port to where she has power but will still impose her culture in this new environment as the boss lady. This why gbarebo and giannis have been beaten into igbodom by the feminist battle axe who ported to a side where she can exude her feminist and cultural power over her spawns

Some people are highly disappointed, after bragging with him on ethnic grounds on the other thread, the guy is even focusing on Igbo heritage.

I know some of them will come and call him bastard as usual....

Why should they be disappointed? That means they don't know the level of achievement their own language has. The Yoruba has more international recognition than any other Nigeria language. It is being taught in universities in the US. So there is no reason why Yorubas should be jealous with his choice most likely influenced by his mum who doesn't like him speaking Yoruba. It's funny the mother is still so tribalistic after all her international exposure.

Funny enough, you didn't consider that the investment is still in Yoruba land. Sorry o.
