Giannis Antetokounmpo Is not a Nigerian. He never claimed to be Nigerian. He said he’s Greek and currently plays for the Greece national basketball team. When he won the NBA, he never visited Nigeria but was quick to visit Greece where he was given a hero’s welcome. We should learn to forfeit people who doesn’t identify with us.
