Congrats to Serena Willams! she made her 16th grand slam title this 8th June.
Did I. hear. someone say they are of Nigerian roots?
Remember this article? When they visited Nigeria.
VENUS and Serena Williams say they would have been happyppy to be Nigerians but are proud to be citizens of the United States of AmeAmerican.
There had been controversy surrounding the real origin of the famous tennis duo but the sisters chose a press conference they addressed in Lagos, Nigeria on Wednesday, to declare that they are Americans.
Before yesterday, speculations were rife that the Williams sisters had their roots in Badagary, Lagos State of Nigeria.
While reacting to this at the Federal Palace Hotel conference room in Lagos, Venus, who reacted on behalf of the family, told Tribunesport that there was no need to debate their American roots.
"We cannot rule out the possibilities of having a link with Africa, but the truth of the matter is that we are Americans," she said affirmatively.
The tennis icons also described their visit to Nigeria as amazing and exciting, adding that it was a great experience and honour for them to be in the country, especially on the project of empowering young girls in tennis.
Venus said: "It is so exciting and amazing that I am here in Nigeria for the first time and especially helping young girls achieve greatness in future".
Younger sister, Serena said: "I am proud to be part of the great journey to this great country to support the country and encourage young girls to be great.”
So people, they of Nigerian descent ko?I know success has many relations too :)
One love.
