Kog45: He lived with his best friend's family from a very young age to enable him play football. His father was in America and his mum did not have much. It is possible that he did not communicate with his father and mother as often as he wanted so he carried that resentment till now. By removing his father's name fro his jersey, you can tell that he wants to pay back. I think, he will regret not reconciling with them if his father or mum dies... Sometimes, you just have to let go of the anger. 1 Like |

goldfish80: Mbappe's Nigerian links is from his paternal grandmum. That is just a small part of his lineage. Joshua is a 9ja boy through and through. Mbappe's yoruba name is Adesanmi so he is from the south west. 1 Like |

goldfish80: His brother's name is Adeyemi. "Kylian’s father, Wilfried Mbappe has roots in Cameroon and Nigeria. He was once a refugee who migrated to France in search of greener pastures. In a bid to get a permanent stay in the French Country, Wilfried (a football coach) got married to an Algerian-French based citizen, Fayza (a former handball player). Both gave birth to Kylian on the 20th of December, 1998 and also to his younger brother, Ethan Adeyemi (Yoruba, meaning crown fits you), seven years after. They however, adopted a professional footballer of Congolese descent, Jirès Kembo Ekoko, who is the son of a late friend of Wilfried and who is 10 years older than Kylian." |

tbaba1234: Yes, Mbappe has a Yoruba name but until we can dig out his direct roots, state/clan we can't lay claim to him. Nigerian press haven't been able to do this, I say this because we have Yorubas in Benin Republic and Togo. There was a time we thought Jonathan Lingali was Nigerian but turned out to be Beninoise. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by tbaba1234: 11:21am On Jul 13, 2018 |
goldfish80: Yoruba in Togo is very distinct. Hardly the same as the one spoken in Nigeria even though they have the same roots. Even the names are different. Adebayor for instance, is not native to Togo. His family emigrated from Nigeria. Benin maybe but given the population size difference, there is a much higher chance that his root is Nigerian. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by goldfish80(m): 11:44am On Jul 13, 2018 |
tbaba1234:That's my point, until we know for certain his ancestry or his father's state of origin in Nigeria then we should not beat our chest and claim he is Nigerian. The first thing I knew about Mbappe before he burst into limelight was that his grand father was an ex Cameroun international. Findings can trace his ancestry to any of Togo, Benin, Nigeria and Cameroun. One thing for sure is that his mother is Algerian. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Kog45(m): 11:47am On Jul 13, 2018 |
goldfish80:Sir,yes we have Yorubas who are settlers and mostly traders in Benin republic, Togo,Ghana and cote d voire.They are all Nigerians and 80% are from EJIGBO in Osun state where Emmanuel Adebayour's families came from. Ligaliis are from Badagry in Lagos state and they shared boundary with Benin Republic.Remember Oliseh wanted to invite him based on that name cos he is a very close friend to some Ligalis and Dosus families where Joseph Dosu came from in Badagry. There is nothing like Yoruba race in Cameroon to prompt Mbappe senior to name his sons ADESANMI and ADEYEMI, so there is serious link with Nigeria and do not be surprised to find out Mbappe senior moved to France with Cameroonian passport despite being a Nigerian. Sir i have a close friend who moved to France with Cameroonian passport and married a Tunisia still in Paris. I will not deceive you Mbappe senior will never come out to say he is from Nigeria cos of the implications and that name ADESANMI will remain a mystery cos is very unusual for a Cameroonian to have that name. If Mbappe was named with Bakassi or cross rivers names nobody will doubt his origin cos of closed relationship they shared with Cameroon. 2 Likes |

Kog45: Oga, the truth is that our borders were man made, engineered by the British and French colonial masters, as a result, we have cousins across borders. My Togolese tailor bears the name Oluwafemi,clearly he is Yoruba but not Nigerian. We now have borders and clearly mapped out territories. Mbappe's father could be a Nigerian who left with a Camerounian passport, maybe. He could also be Camerounian whose mother is Yoruba from any of the countries where you find Yorubas. Until, we have evidence his father is Nigerian, then we can indeed say he's Nigerian. I'm sure he has nephews and cousins in Nigeria if indeed he's from here. It is left for the press to do their forensic search. The name alone is not enough. |

BascoVanVeli:Sir we have the types of Dele Ali who don't want to associate with us,forget the alcohol addiction of his mum,Dele belong to the group of Sade Adu and SEAL. SEAL a Grammy award winner had his part of his education in Lagos and even have friends that they went to the same secondary school though didn't finished before relocated back to UK.Did you know when his mother died SEAL failed to turn up for her burial in Nigeria. SADE ADU was born in Ibadan not even in UK but always behaving as if she has nothing to do with Nigeria and despite that Nigerians always feel proud of her. Philip Idowu a great athlete was born by a great sport philanthropist Chief Nathaniel Idowu but refused to associate with Nigeria despite his father great contribution to sport development especially football. Christy Ohurougu another super athlete of Nigeria descents.Apart from the name Ohurougu i don't see her showing that love for Nigeria. This is more reason am always showing that respect for Anthony Joshua,David Alaba and of recent Manual Akanji though not representing Nigeria but they are always happy to associate with naija. I remember the group of guys with Ibo names born in the states that came down to Lagos to tutor young kids about America NFL.These are the type of guys I always have respect for. 6 Likes |

Kog45: We have alot of them in the NBA. Former play off mvp Iguodala will kill you if you called him Nigerian but he's from Edo state. Antetokumbo is another one, he is one of the best players in the NBA, recently turned down a contract from LA Lakers to resign for his team but he claims Greek with his brothers. Even Emeka Okafor, who I knew his sister on a personal level opted to play for USA when he was at Milwaukee Bobcats. For me, anyone who doesn't feel Nigerian should be left alone. 3 Likes 1 Share |

ChrisKels: Now in your desperate Dan moves you are scrapping the bottom of the pot. I HAVE NEVER EVER SAID i have been involved OFFICIALLY with the NFF to organise football tournaments and or selection exercises. Yes i may know people in the NFF , but that is about it. I also do not know Doherty or Ademola and still don't know them. Not sure why i should know them, particularly in my experiences with the NFF its all been about self seeking interest, for financial gain. So please go back , bring out the post you said i CLAIMED .

Kog45: You are trying to present opinion and circumstance as FACT. You really do not know the impact of his Fathers action on Dele Alli, i could go into a long discussion about it. It simply defeats the purpose. Dele Alli feels so aggrieved so abandoned that he gives more recognition to his foster parents than his own biological father, add to that he even want to remove his fathers name from his identity. But instead of appreciating his pain and turmoil that drove him to such an act of despair and disappointment. You are exonerating his Father and condemning the son. You simply have no idea. But then again it seems you are not here, so i apologise for presuming you are, therefore you will not understand, the psychological dynamics involved. I wont even bother myself to expose the half truths that have been presented to you and you now anchor your deduction on here , somewhere you also have been misinformed as well. Not everything you read is true. The circumstance of Fash and Dele are totally different. I don't think you can appreciate the depths of despair being put into the care system can push you too when you have a living Father. To become a local authority LAC (looked after child) it is the depths of disillusionment. Its a subject dear to my heart, because i see so many damaged children who have gone through the care system in the uk, abandoned by their Nigerian fathers. Look the matter get as he be too explain. 1 Like |

kog45 has not exonerated anybody all he is saying is their are 2 sides to a story. knowing the facts we have on ground it's only logical to be puzzled at dele's extreme beef for his parents. with his mother yes she was an alcoholic but she never gave him up for adoption and we don't know if she abused him whether emotional or physical at least dele or anyone close to him hasn't said otherwise. the mother also as far as we know hasn't been extorting him. with his father the facts in public domain suggest he cared for his son. sent him to the best expensive schools, made him his best man, bought him his first car, allowed him to go and pursue his dreams of playing football professionally. plus as far as we know no public reports of abuse whether emotional or physical. anyway dele is a full grown adult who can make any decision that bests suits him. i'm no psychologist and i don't mean to make light of dele's reasons for what he's doing i just find it like everyone else kinda somehow. all the best to him anyways komekn: 3 Likes |

BascoVanVeli: I wish i could talk more about this. The DYNAMICS of parenting here are totally different from Nigeria. In Nigeria we feel PROVISION is the core requirement to parenting in England RELATIONSHIP is. If you do not nurture, guard and encourage relationship. You will loose your children. In Nigeria they will still feel obligation to you maybe even love you, even when you only see them once a year. It may because , there is already GOVERNMENT PROVISION for most things, so then you have to give more and invest your time in your relationship bonding and appreciation. This is another reason our marriages are failing like never before as well. In Nigeria it is normal and acceptable to be working in Abuja while your family is in Uyo. Again you are looking for PROVISION Unfortunately, this is something many of our guys do not appreciate when living in the west, that model does not work here. Add to that the identity crisis of being mixed race , the adoption and expectations anchored on eurocentric norms and values, how then do you expect a child to be Afro-centric when Daddy is chasing £££ 24/7 to build house in Lekki 1 , etc The crown that despair with being put into the care system as LAC, then insult to injury with a white family. Meanwhile Daddy is the US with new wife and your Mum has had her parental rights removed because of alcahol addiction. Finally, what are the most formative years in a persons life, i would say the teenage ones. My own example highlghts the matter. My Father, woke up one morning and said Megwuno oooh, my pikin don turn Oyibo finis, quick action i was stoned direct flyte to Warri for high school, in boarding house. Now i am Made in Warri but born in UK . 2 Likes 1 Share |

goldfish80: All Yorubas living or dead migrated from Nigeria, to be specific Ile Ife. That is why if you ask any Yoruba man in Togo, Benin, Ghana etcetera they will tell you dey are from Ile Ife or Oyo. Most of them will even tell you the village they identify with after they left Ife or Oyo. Oral history is passed down to most of them to know where excatly they migated from in Nigeria and who of there relatives remains. The only Yoruba who will never claim he is from Ife or Oyo is Ijebu. |

Even his mother should not be treated like that. LeBron James mother was an heroin addict but he never turned his back on her. Even if she bin dey beat am, haba that boy must to go and repent. Honour thy mother and father. Divorces are up in the country because we have lost our ways. Morality has been abolished.
