A country where things work unlike nilejiria

Yoruba root. When will we see these quota system people ruling any sport or anything outside Nigeria? Nigeria is their breath, that's why they hold on to their dominance in this skewed corntry.

Imagine my Niece scored 100 in Fed Unity School Entrance Exam without Admission and someone will score 10 marks in Zamfara and will be admitted.


Nigeria will never grow with this crazy lopsided cheating.

Excerpts :
.................. The Adetokunbo family did not find it easy in Greece. Unlike the United States, where children of other nationals born in the country are immediately given American citizenship, the Adetokunbo children were not given this privilege. In fact they did not acquire Greek citizenship until 2013. The father of the house, Charles, was a heavily built athlete of a man, but he could only get jobs as a handyman on the streets of Anthens. Veronica worked as a baby sitter for Greek families that needed their help. They did not have work permits and thus worked only menial jobs to provide for their five children. But the Adetokunbo boys were exceptional. From an early age, and when they had free time from school, they would go to the streets and hawk watches, handbags, sunglasses and other wares. They lived in a poor neighborhood in Sepolia in the ancient city of Athens.

Like their father, the Adetokunbo boys loved to play football. So, when they had opportunity, they would play the round leather game around their neighborhood. When Giannis was seven years old, someone suggested to him and his brothers that rather than play football, they could take advantage of their gangling frame and height to play basketball. Giannis and his brothers soon began to play basketball in their neighborhood and their gifts were quickly recognized by their coaches. In fact, so that the boys could have more time to train and play the game for their respective teams, the team management ensured that Charles and Veronica were given work permit and thus could get better jobs and then earn more to provide for their families. The boys were taken off the streets of Athens and committed their times to their education and basketball. The most promising of the brothers was, of course, Giannis Adetokunbo.

Y'all success vultures won't let a young nigga breathe

somehow:
They got the height from their dad cos their mum does not look that tall.

... Congrats to the NBA big dawg, Giannis Adetokunbo! He and my main man, the legendary Houston Rocket's Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon are two of the NBA's MVPs of Yoruba-Nigerian descent. This is the INDOMITABLE SPIRIT!
