Nigerian-American Mixed Martial Artist Champion Kamaru Usman just took to his Facebook page a few minutes ago to post a statement regarding the Antetokounmpo brothers who have made history recently in NBA. The brothers who are players for popular American Basketball club, Milwaukee Bucks made Nigeria proud as they won the NBA championship for the club, an achievement which ended the drought that they had been facing for over 50 years.
The UFC champion sparked quite a few reactions from Nigerians with his post as some of them took to the comments section to react about what he said when congratulating them. He said, and I quote, “Naija to the world, Erin we no fit do. Congratulations my brothers Giannis Antetokounmpo, Thanasis Antetokounmpo. Milwaukee bucks ”.

There is no doubt that Nigeria is blessed with many talented and capable individuals who have excelled in their field of expertise. Whether it is music, football, combat sports or in this case basketball, Nigerians are at the top of it. We are a very blessed country as these individuals have shown the world that we are the best at all we do.
Fans appreciated what Kamaru Usman said regarding these brothers but one fan in particular shared his opinions that they do not recognize themselves as Nigerians because they claim to be Greek Americans. He made a comparison between Them and Kamaru Usman due to the fact that they don’t proudly refer to themselves as Nigerians.
