I think he looks a bit Yoruba and Warri. There's a musician that looks like him- can't his name.

Once people become successful they immediately start looking like Nigerians abi? You guys are working this success-has-many-fathers thing seriously.

Most likely Igbo. Igbos are very dominant in sports back home in Nigeria.

onila(f): 2:56am On Aug 06, 2012 |
he look warri either urhobo or isoko he looks kinda Ghanaians. .hes from far from being cameroonian |
BlackKenichi(m): 2:56am On Aug 06, 2012 |
He looks mainly Akan but I do see a little Biafran in there as well! And it makes sense. Just under two thirds of slaves that were exported to Jamaica came from Ghana (also parts of the Ivory Coast) and South Eastern Nigeria (also parts of Western Cameroon)!

Just under two thirds of slaves that were exported to Jamaica came from Ghana (also parts of the Ivory Coast) and South Eastern Nigeria (also parts of Western Cameroon)! he looks akan, true hes either ghanaian, Ivorian or ANGOLAN! he looks kinda Angolan too And hes far from being south eastern Nigerian |
BlackKenichi(m): 3:14am On Aug 06, 2012 |

Every diaspora black individual looks Nigerian to Nigerians. I bet if this man was a criminal, the OP would be one of the first people trying to push him off to any African country he or she can think of. ![]() ![]() ![]() Just joking with you OP ![]() Usian bolt does not look Nigerian, at least in my opinion he doesn't 1 Like |

It seems like some nigerians and most ghanaians have no pride nor dignity at all AS for the slave coast ,it was ghana ,togo ,benin ,nigeria :ivory coast was not part of it Akan people are originally from Ghana ghanaians got this strong inferiority complex towards those "blacks from diaspora" ,they are treated like royalties in ghana Nkrumah acted like a beggar in front of them LOL there's a ghana boy in this thread who claim to be jamaican haha (guess who that is ) poor africa :some africans act as if africa was the world's garbage most blacks from diaspora have some european seed as well as many other mixed heritage but only nigerians or ghana peep would claim them At least senegambians or most french speaking africans have more dignity ! |

AS for the slave coast ,it was ghana ,togo ,benin ,nigeria :ivory coast was not part of itDon't forget the Whirlwind Coast, Upper Guinea and Senegambia! Oh btw Southwestern Ivory Coast was part of the Whirlwind Coast! Try harder fool! Akan people are originally from GhanaAnd from the Ivory Coast. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akan_people ghanaians got this strong inferiority complex towards those "blacks from diaspora" ,they are treated like royalties in ghanaWhat you call "treated like royalty" is what I and many other people call being welcoming! there's a ghana boy in this thread who claim to be jamaican haha (guess who that is )Sorry d***head I'm Jamaican Maroon. Most Jamaican Maroons are of Akan descent! poor africa :some africans act as if africa was the world's garbageReally!? Tell me more. most blacks from diaspora have some european seed as well as many other mixed heritage but only nigerians or ghana peep would claim themThese are the same French speaking West African countries that are experiencing quite a lot of turmoil. These same French speaking West African countries that were the French men's bitch while the British had to fight tooth and nail to occupy Ghana. Btw the French considered Senegambians quite docile especially the Wolof! While the Brits genuinely feared the Akan so much so they wanted to stop the import of Akan slaves. Also wasn't Ghana the one of the first West African countries to gain indepedence!? Most West African Sahelian countries are either bitches to Islam (mainly Arabs), the French or to there own inferior gene pool. |

Also wasn't Ghana the one of the first West African countries to gain indepedence!? Read about Samory Touré and Behanzin and Umar Tall's assault on a French fort and stop yarning opata for here. I get that you want to rep your Akan ancestry, but stop stretching the bounds of credibility. |
BlackKenichi(m): 10:28pm On Aug 06, 2012 |
PhysicsQED:A few things.............. fascinating. I'll check it out. Most West African countries controlled by the French became docile! Fact. |
PhysicsQED(m): 10:43pm On Aug 06, 2012 |
Black Kenichi: Please do go into more detail about this docility and how it's a "fact" and make sure to mention all the revolts in the French ruled parts of West Africa as you do so. |
tpia5: 11:10pm On Aug 06, 2012 |
^ most of them were crushed. feel free to disagree though- havent really studied the matter in depth. but if the french could crush dahomey then i doubt any other kingdom could withstand them. |
PhysicsQED(m): 11:45pm On Aug 06, 2012 |
tpia@: I was referring to revolts during colonial rule - after the actual kingdoms had been defeated. I think Kenichi has a somewhat distorted perspective on things because of modern events. |

Only cowards can run as fast,so Usain Bolt must have some yoruba in him.
