The Williams sisters, Serena and Venus Wednesday shed light
on the insinuations that they were from Nigeria, when they said that they were
proud to be American citizens.
Speaking to a
reporter at the Federal Palace Hotel, Venus, in a response to a question on
their true origin, said that while they love Nigeria, the fact was that they
were from the United States of America.
She said “This is another country that we would love to
come from but we are from the United States and are proud to be from there as
well”, said Venus
On their mother’s
decision to name their late sister, Yetunde, after a Nigerian, Venus said that
it was because of the mum’s love for Africa. “My mum named my late sister after
an Africa name because she loves Africa and that is all to it”, she said.
