In a reflective post on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Nigerian activist and lawyer Dele Farotimi offered insight into his sense of identity, blending both national affiliation and personal choice.

“I was born a Nigerian in 1968. I wasn’t consulted, and I had no say in that affliction,” Farotimi remarked, emphasizing that his nationality was something he inherited rather than chose. His words resonate with the notion that citizenship, while defining, is often beyond one’s control.

In contrast, Farotimi then turned to his football fandom, noting, “I became an Arsenal supporter in 1985; na me carry my hand, do myself that one.” Here, he made it clear that supporting Arsenal was an active decision, one that he embraced without external influence, adding a personal touch to his allegiance.

Concluding his message, Farotimi expressed unwavering commitment to both his Nigerian roots and football loyalty: “Win or lose tonight, I remain a Nigerian, and I’d be a Gunner for life.” His statement reflects a lasting attachment to both, regardless of the outcomes they face.
