1 | Ghana: Is Mario Balotelli Italian or Ghanaian? | Ghana: Italiana ve i Mario Balotelli sa Ghaneana ? |
2 | Is Mario Balotelli Ghanaian or Italian? | Italiana ve i Mario Balotelli sa Ghaneana ? |
3 | That's the question that has created a heated debate online. | Izany no fanontaniana mipetraka nahatonga adihevitra mafana amin'ny aterineto . |
4 | Mario Barwuah Balotelli is a football striker playing for Manchester City. | Mpilalao baolina kitra mpamono baolina, milalao ho an'ny tanànan'i Manchester i Mario Barwuah Balotelli . |
5 | He was born to Ghanaian immigrants in Italy. | Nateraky ny mpifindra monina Ghaneana tany Italie izy? |
6 | However, Mario's life-threatening health condition made his family turn him over to social services and later he was fostered by an Italian family. | Na izany aza, ny olana ara-pahasalamana nanohintohina ny ainy no nampitodika ny ray aman-dreniny tamin'ny asa sosialy ary taty aoriana dia noraisina fianakaviana italiana iray an-tànana izy. |
7 | He became an Italian citizen in 2008. | Lasa olom-pirenena Italiana izy tamin'ny taona 2008. |
8 | He has refused to join the Ghanaian national team arguing that he has always dream of playing for Italy. | Nandà ny hiaraka amin'ny ekipam-pirenena Ghaneana izy ary nilaza fa efa nofinofiny hatry ny ela ny hilalao ho an'i Italia. |
9 | His first call-up for Ghana national team was in August 2007. | Tamin'ny Aogositra 2007 ny fiantsoana azy voalohany ho ao amin'ny ekipam-pirenen'i Ghana . |
10 | Let's see opinions of bloggers and their readers about the issue. | Ndeha hojerena ny hevitr'ireo mpitoraka bilaogy sy ireo mpamaky mikasika izany olana izany . |
11 | We will start with Abena Serwaa who asks, “Is Young Mario Balotelli part of the Ghana-Deniers Club?” | Atombotsika amin'i Abena Serwaa izay manontany hoe , “Anisan'ny ao amin'ny Ghana-Deniers Club (Klioban'ireo mitsipaka an'i Ghana) ve i Mario Balotelli kely?” |
12 | She starts he post by describing Mario's “smouldering exotic looks”: | Atombony amin'ny famaritana ” ireo fomba fitafin'i Mario avy any amin'ny tany mafana “ny lahatsorany : |
13 | Mr Balotelli is also known for his smouldering exotic looks. | Fantatra amin'ireo fomba fitafiny avy any amin'ny tany mafana ihany koa i Atoa Balotelli. |
14 | In fact, he is so exotic that if you saw him, you may be inclined to think he looks alot like: | Raha ny tena izy, miavaka kokoa izy ka raha mahita azy ianao dia mety somary hihevitra fa izy dia mitovy kokoa amin'ny : |
15 | 1. That trotro* mate who refused to give you the correct change on your way to work last week 2. The guy selling DVDs at Adum Market in Kumasi who tried to get you to buy The Ultimate Steven Seagal collection 3. A cool young guy hanging out with his buddies at Accra Mall | 1. namana trotro* izay nandà tsy hanome anao ny tena famerim-bolanao tamin'ny làlanao handeha hiasa tamin'ny herinandro lasa 2. Tovolahy mpivarotra DVD ao amin'ny Tsenan'i Adum any Kumasi izay miezaka mandresy lahatra anao hividy ny laharana The Ultimate Steven Seagal 3. tanora tovolahy tsotra iray mirenireny miaraka amin'ny taritariny ao Accra Mall |
16 | Then she asks: | Avy eo izy manontany hoe: |
17 | So how does a guy that looks so typically Ghanaian end up with such a distinctly Italian name? | Ka ahoana ary no mahatonga ny tovolahy tena Ghaneana tanteraka toy izany hanana anarana Italiana miavaka tsara ? |
18 | Is he part of the Ghana-Deniers club that has featured prominent personalities such as pro-wrestler Kofi Kingston formerly of Jamaica now of Ghana? | Anisan'ny ao amin'ny klioba Ghana-Deniers ve izy izay namolavola ireo olona misongadina toy ilay mpanao tolona matihanina, i Kofi Kingston , izay an'i Jamaika teo aloha teo ary an'i Ghana amin'izao fotoana izao ? |
19 | Interestingly, he was courted persistently by the Ghana Football Association to join the Black Stars, but always stood firm that his dream was to play only for Italy and never for his country of origin. | Ny mahaliana, angatahin' ny Ghana Football Association hiaraka amin'ny Black Stars foana izy, nefa mijoro tsara amin'ny heviny izy fa ny nofiny dia ny hilalao ho an'i Italia irery ihany fa tsy ho an'ny firenena niaviany mihitsy. |
20 | This was despite the fact that some Italians had serious objections to him joining the Azzurri. | Izany na dia misy aza Italiana maro manana olana goavana amin'ny hidirany ho ao amin'ny Azzurri. |
21 | Commenting on Abena's post, Mike says that Mario is not Ghanaian. | Mitsikera ny lahatsoratr'i Abena , milaza i Mike fa tsy Ghaneana i Mario . |
22 | Having Ghanaian genes does not make one Ghanaian : | Tsy mahatonga ny olona iray ho Ghaneana ny fananany rà Ghaneana ao anatiny : |
23 | Sometimes we have to accept that simply having Ghanaian genes doesn't make one Ghanaian. | Indraindray, mila manaiky isika fa tsy mahatonga ny olona iray ho lasa Ghaneana ny fananany rà Ghaneana ao anatiny. |
24 | It's in a similar way I refuse to use the term “African American” for the descendants of slavery. | Amin'ny endrika mitovitovy, tsy ekeko ny hampiasa ny teny “Afrikana-Amerikana” ho an'ireo taranak'olona nandevozina. |
25 | I can also not bring myself to call my nieces Ghanaian, although for some, BOTH their parents are Ghanaian. | Tsy vitako ihany koa ny mibaiko ny tenako hiantso ireo zanakavavin'ny mpiray tampo amiko hoe Ghaneana, na dia, SAMY Ghaneana aza ireo ray aman-dreniny. |
26 | There are too many facets about Ghanaian culture none in these groups have or would ever experience, and for me a lot of what makes me Ghanaian is in my experiencing and relating to the country. | Betsaka ireo endrika mikasika ny kolotsaina Ghaneana ary tsy misy manana traikefa amin'izany akory ny iray amin'ireo vondrona ireo, amiko, ny mahatonga ahy ho Ghaneana dia ny traikefako sy ny fifandraisako amin'ny firenena . |
27 | I recently played a youtube vid of our anthem for my nieces and nephew, and I might as well have been playing old timey music- they couldn't get or appreciate the attempts to connect to a world they don't fully understand. | Tsy ela akory izay dia nilalao horonantsary iray tamin'ny Youtube ny hiram-pirenentsika aho ho an'ireo zanaky ny mpiray tampo amiko, ary afaka nilalao ihanyo koa ireo hira kalon'ny fahiny- tsy hain'izy ireo na tsy azoazony ny manandrana mifandray amin'ny tontolo izay tsy fantatr'izy ireo tsara . |
28 | Is Mario denying a heritage he clearly doesn't relate to? | Mandà ny lova izay hitany fa tsy misy ifandraisana aminy ve i Mario ? |
29 | No, and I won't hold it against him. | Tsia, ary tsy hitazona alahelo aminy aho amin'izany. |
30 | Is he denying the lineage he has? | Mandà ny loharanom-pianakaviany ve izy ? |
31 | Judging from the pics of him at age 10 w/ his mom and brother- which strongly contrasts with the narrative he's always maintained- I would imagine it so, and part of a long-standing and perhaps misinformed issues about abandonment (among other things) he'll need to sort out as he grows older. | Raha jerena hatrany amin'izy 10 taona miaraka amin'ny reniny sy ny rahalahiny - izay tena mifanohitra amin'ireo zavatra notantarainy - mihevitra aho fa mety ho izay, ary anisan'ny efa ela nitsanganany sy ireo olana tsy nampahafantarina azy tsara angamba mikasika ny fandosirana'andraikitra ( ankoatr'ireo zavatra hafa), mila mandamina ny fiainany izy noho izy efa miha-lehibe. |
32 | But, no, he's not Ghanaian. | Fa tsia, tsy Ghaneana izy . |
33 | Sankofa agrees with Mike. | Manaiky ny hevitr'i Mike i Sankofa . |
34 | He says, “I actually think Ghanaians had no claim on from the minute he declared himself an Italian”: | Hoy izy, “tena mihevitra mihitsy koa aho fa tsy misy zavatra tokony angatahan'ireo Ganeana aminy hatramin'ny minitra nilazany fa Italiana ny tenany “: |
35 | I have to agree with Mike here. | Manaiky ny hevitr'i Mike aho eto. |
36 | I actually think Ghanaians had no claim on from the minute he declared himself an Italian. | Tena mihevitra mihitsy koa aho fa tsy misy zavatra tokony angatahan'ireo Ghaneana aminy hatramin'ny minitra nilazany fa Italiana ny tenany. |
37 | He clearly considers himself Italian and who am I to insist otherwise? He's never lived in Ghana, probably never even visited and he doesn't identify with Ghanaian culture of any kind. | Efa mazava tsara fa mihevitra ny tenany ho Italiana izy, ary iza moa aho no hisisika hanohitra izany ? tsy mbola nipetraka tany Ghana izy, ary mety mbola tsy nitsidika azy akory, ary tsy mahafatantra kolotsaina Ghana akory izy na iray aza. |
38 | Leave him be to band together with the Italians who will probabaly never consider him as a true Italian either. | Avelao izy hiaraka amin'ireo namany Italiana izay tsy hihevitra azy mihitsy ho tena Italiana marina akory. |
39 | I actually feel sorry for him. | Mampalahelo ahy izy. |
40 | Having a hybrid identity can be terribly lonely at times. | Indraindray dia mety hampanirery mihitsy ny fanànana mombamomba ny tena mifangaro . |
41 | Another reader calling himself The other Mike disagrees. | Mpamaky iray hafa izay milaza tena ho The other Mike no tsy manaiky. |
42 | No matter what nationality he chooses, The Other Mike notes, he will always be asked, “Where are you originally from?”: | Tsy mampaninona izay zom-pirenena nofinidiny, manoratra i The Other Mike, tsy maintsy hisy hanontany foana izy hoe , “Avy aiza ny firenena tena niavianao ?”: |
43 | He sure earned his spot at the top of the Ghana-Deniers list. | Ary azo antoka fa hahazo ny lohalaharana ao amin'ny lisitry ny Ghana-Deniers izy. |
44 | Since i'm not big on soccer, I could have easily mistaken him for the guy selling the Segal dvd collection. | Satria tsy dia mahay loatra ny baolina kitra aho, mora foana tamiko ny nanafangaro azy tamin'ireo tovolahy mivarotra ny andiana Dvd an'i Segal. |
45 | That was funny Abena. | Izany i Abena maahatsikaiky. |
46 | He kinda looks like Castro the hiplife guy too (when he was skinny). | Mitovy kokoa amin'i Castro fony mbola tovolahy tso-piaina koa aza izy (tamin'izy mbola nahia) . |
47 | He is free to choose whatever nationality he wants, and that is OK. | Malalaka izy misafidy izay zom-pirenena tiany, ary mety izany. |
48 | But he will quickly learn that in the real world, he will always be asked…. | Fa ho tsapany haingana fa ao anatin'ny tontolo tena izy, hisy hanontany foana izy hoe …. |
49 | “where are you originally from?” | ” avy aiza ny firenena tena niavianao ?”. |
50 | Eating tons of pasta, speaking Italian etc wont change his ethnicity. | Ny fihinànana paty aman-taonina, ny fitenenana Italiana sns tsy hanova ny foko misy azy. |
51 | @ Mike; “sometimes we have to accept…” Sometimes? | @ Mike; “indraindray mila manaiky isika …” Indraindray? |
52 | Really? | Marina ve ? |
53 | What are the other times? | Rehefa tsy indraindray, inona ireo fotoana hafa ? |
54 | Gifty supports The Other Mike's position: | Manohana ny hevitr'i The Other Mike i Gifty : |
55 | i totally agree with “the other mike”.. | Tena miombon-kevitra tanteraka amin'i “the other mike” aho.. |
56 | Mario will ALWAYS be asked where are you originally from…. man, it's like he's moving backwards.. nowadays african americans are PAYING to use their DNAs to find out their country of origin in West africa and seeking dual citizenship (eg. | TSY MAINTSY hisy hanontany foana i Mario hoe avy aiza ny firenena tena niavianao …. r'ingahy, toy ny hoe miverin-dalana indray ianao.. amin'izao fotoana izao, MANDOA VOLA ireo afrikana amerikana hampiasa ireo DNA-ny hahitany ireo firenena tena niaviany any afrika Andrefana ary mitady ny hànana ny zom-pirenena roa (oh. |
57 | Isaiah Washington of Grey's Anatomy has dual citizenship with Sierra Leone).. and he's just going the other direction.. you can change ur name.. eat tons of pasta, speak fluent italian, whatever.. u are still an african.. better start accepting it.. | Manana ny zom-pirenena roa miaraka amin'i Sierra Leone i Isaiah Washington ao amin'ny Grey's Anatomy ).. ary dia mizotra amin'ny lalan-kafa izy.. afaka manova anarana ianao .. mihinana paty aman-taonina, miteny italiana mikoriana tsara, na zavatra hafa.. mbola afrikana foana ianao.. tsaratsara kokoa ny manomboka manaiky izany .. |
58 | Responding to comments, Abena Serwaa concludes by saying, “…but isn't it fascinating how Kevin-Prince Boateng embraced the whole Ghanaian identity and apparently has done so for a while?” | Mamaly ireo tsikera ireo , i Abena Serwaa no mamarana sy milaza toy izao , “…fa tsy mahavariana ve ny fomba nandraisan'i Kevin-Prince Boateng ny maha-Ghaneana azy feno tanteraka ary tena nikofoka mafy tokoa ho amin'izany raha ny fijery azy ety ivelany?” |
59 | Kevin-Prince Boateng is a German-born Ghanaian international footballer. | Mpilalao baolina kitra iraisam-pirenena Ghaneana teraka tany Alemana i Kevin-Prince Boateng . |
60 | He played for the Ghana national team during 2010 FIFA World Cup while his half-brother Jérôme Agyenim Boateng played for Germany. | Nilalao tao amin'ny ekipam-pirenen'i Ghana izy nandritra ny Fiadiana ny mboara Eran-tany FIFA 2010 raha toa kosa ny rahalahiny i Jérôme Agyenim Boateng ka nilalao ho an'i Alemana. |
61 | Ghanaian blogger Nana Sarpong has also written a post about Mario Balotelli: The Boy Barwuah who Became the Man Balotelli. | Nanoratra lahatsoratra mikasika an'i Mario Balotelli ihany koa ny mpitoraka bilaogy i Nana Sarpong : Ilay Tovolahy Barwuah nanjary lehilahy Balotelli. |
62 | He sees Mario as a troubled child struggling to understand himself: | Hitany ho toy ny zazakely mikorontan-tsaina miezaka ny mahalala ny tenany i Mario : |
63 | When I look at this footballer, I see a troubled child struggling to understand himself. | Zazakely mikorontan-tsaina miezaka ny mahalala ny tenany no hitako raha mijery an'ity mpanao baolina kitra ity aho. |
64 | Mario with the Balotellis What makes it worse, I think, is that he thinks the best way out of his psychological turmoil is to distance himself of his parents and run away from his ‘Blackness.' | Mario miaraka amin'ny fianakaviana Balotelli Inona no maharatsy izany, raha ny hevitro , lalana tsara ialany amin'ny adin-tsainy ve ny manalavitra ny tenany amin'ny ray aman-dreniny sy mitsoaka ny “fahamaintisany “. |
65 | Obviously he needs help. | Mazava be, tena mila fanampiana izy. |
66 | A kind of help his white Italian parents cannot provide. | Karazana fanampiana izay tsy vitan'ireo ray aman-dreniny fotsy omena azy. |
67 | If they could-and if they were really in their right senses-they would have invited the Barwuahs to the ceremony that saw Mario gain his Italian citizenship or informed them of the change of name. | Raha afa-nanao izany izy ireo - ary raha tena nandinika tsara - tokony nanasa ny fianakaviana Barwuah tamin'ny lanonana izay nahazoan'i Mario ny zom-pirenena Italiana ry zareo, na nampahafantatra azy ireo ny fanovana anarana. |
68 | At least, from Mr. Barwuah's viewpoint, the Balotelli's made a conscious effort to not give mario back as they kept on extending the foster period (the poor Barwuahs could not match the legal strength of the Balotellis). | Farafaharatsiny, raha ny fahitan'i Mr. Barwuah azy, nanao ezaka lehibe tsy hamerenana an'i Mario ny fianakaviana Balotelli satria nitarin'izy ireo ny fotoana nampiantranoana/nandraisana an-tànana azy (Tsy afaka mifampitaha amin'ny fahefana ananan'ny fianakaviana Balotelli eo anatrehan'ny lalàna ny fianakaviana Barwuah mahantra ). |
69 | According to Nana, Mario told the Ghana Football Association that he never heard of the country!: | Araka ny filazan'i Nana, nilaza tamin'ny Ghana Football Association i Mario fa mbola tsy nahare mikasika io firenena io mihitsy !: |
70 | The Ghana Football Association (GFA), at some point, asked Mario to play for Ghana. | Mangataka an'i Mario hilalao ho an'i Ghana ny Ghana Football Association (GFA), amin'ny lafiny iray. |
71 | The boy slammed the GFA by sarcastically puking he never heard of the country although he was at the same club with Ghana's midfielder, Sulley Muntari. | Nandà ny GFA ny tovolahy sady nanaratsy namoaka fa tsy mbola naheno mikasika ilay firenena mihitsy izy na dia efa iray klioba tamin'ilay mpilalao baolina kitra afovoan'ny kianjan'i Ghana, i Sulley Muntari aza izy. |
72 | My take at the time was that Mario was a talented player, but Ghana does not need such a twerp. | Ny tao an-dohako tamin'izany fotoana izany dia hoe mpilalao manan-talenta i Mario, fa tsy mila manaotao foana hoatr'izany i Ghana. |
73 | He obviously must have his side of the story-just like he said his parents abondoned him a hospital-but Mario needs to grow out of that weak mind of his. | Mazava be fa mety manana ny lafiny azy irery momba ny tantara ihany koa izy- araka ny teniny hoe nandao azy tany amin'ny hopitaly ny ray aman-dreniny- nefa mila mitombo saina kokoa noho izany i Mario . |
74 | He concludes his post by saying that Mario's story is simply “…a sad tale of many poor African family living in Europe, America or even in Ghana”: | Namarana ny lahatsorany izy nanao hoe tantara tsotra ny an'i Mario “…angano mampalahelon'ireo fianakaviana Afrikana mahantra maro monina any Eoropa, Amerika na any Ghana aza “: |
75 | But it is a sad tale of many poor African family living in Europe, America or even in Ghana. | Saingy angano iray mampalahelon'ireo fianakaviana Afrikana mipetraka any Eoropa, Amerika, na any Ghana aza izany. |
76 | It is a huge mistake the Barwuahs did, and it is obvious their son (who has practically disowned them) intends to make them live with it, forever! | Hadisoana lehibe nataon'ny fianakaivana Barwuah izany, ary hita tsara fa te-hampiaina azy ireo miaraka amin'izany mandrakizay ity zanany ity (izay maneho fa tsy isan'izy ireo izy) ! |
