Christian Atsu has ended the debate over where he hails from.
As can be seen in the attached video, the Black Stars winger reveals his roots, where his father comes from and where his mother also hails from, dispelling the notion that he is an Ewe because of his name Atsu.
"Many people think I am an Ayigbe guy but as you can see me speaking, I come from Ada. My dad is an Ada but it's my mum who is Ayigbe," he told Allsports.com.gh on Wednesday.
The newly signed on Bournemouth loanee also revealed the identities of three other players who also hail from the same area as himself.
"Jonathan Mensah whom I always share room with in camp speaks Ada, same as David Accam and Daniel Amartey who all come from the same area," Atsu added.

It appears Christian isn't aware of the history of Ada n the Ada clans. The Ga-Adangme speakers are actually fugitives from the Akwamus who came to settle among the Ewes from Ada,Tongu, Agotime, Anlo n as far as Glidzi in Togo. Their descendants through the intermarriages with Ewes are the authentic Ayigbes, not bonafide Ewes. The original Ewe clans, eg., Kudzragbe, from which Atsu's father, no doubt originated, are the biggest land owners in Ada. You can read all this from the book The Making of Ada. Warning: he told lies about the wars bn the Anlos n the Adas n the Agaves among whom they settled.
***barred word*** GUY WHO TELLS YOU THE EWES NEED YOU.YOU CAN HAIL FROM THE MOON WHO CARES.***barred word***
The fact that your father stays in Ada for a long time and gave birth to you there doesn't make you an Ada native. There is something your father didn't tell you. Atsu is an Ewe name.
Whether you are ayigbe man or not who cares? Ada people always turn to ayigbe and can speak ayigbe so what is your problem. Read history about your name and be guided accordingly.
***barred word*** why insult the young man he just clarified and u guys are insulting him aaaaba I've always taught he was an ewe push hard man the sky is da limit humble soul
PLEASE STOP THE INSULT. HE IS A VERY NICE PERSON. HE IS JUST SPEAKING THE TRUTH, HE NEVER INSULT EWE'S, HE JUST SAID IT'S THE MUM WHO IS AN EWE AND THAT IS THE TRUTH. AM AN EWE AND SO PROUD TO BE AN ONE. THANKS.
Am not an Ewe but what is the difference if your mother is an EWE? Man, why are u running away from your origin. You have said you are half Ewe and half Ada, nothing happens then.
