Samuel Eto’o Might Be Ghanaian

Eto’o Ghanaian?Ghanaian tabloid Graphic Sports recently ran a story about a Ghanaian family claiming kinship with Barcelona and Cameroon superstar striker (and all time Africa Cup of Nations top scorer, I might add) Samuel Eto’o. This wouldn’t make Eto’o any less Cameroonian, because that’s where his mother is form. But it would make him half-Ghanaian.

The tabloid has it that Simon Komla Eto was the biological father of Samuel Eto’o Fils, after an affair with a Cameroonian woman in 1982. Simon Komla passed away when Eto’o was just two years old, but his sister Morlemey (who, if this is true, is Eto’o’s aunt) is now asking for a paternity test to establish the truth.

The key word in all this is tabloid. Whether it’s Ghana, Great Britain or Guadalupe, we all know you can’t trust a tabloid. It’s also true that back in 2006, an “uncle” claimed Eto’o was actually Nigerian. And who can blame anyone for wanting to be related to a legend in the making? I wish I could claim kinship with Eto’o. It might improve my shooting.

This is outrageous. Everyone knows Eto’o is from the great republic of Uzbekistan.
