Giannis was born in Athens, Greece, on December 6, 1994. His parents moved there from Nigeria illegally, so he wasn' t allowed to become a Greek citizen. Since he was born overseas, Giannis wasn' t able to get Nigerian citizenship, either. For the first 18 years of his life, he wasn' t an official citizen of any country. Life in Greece was very difficult for his family. His parents had trouble finding work, so Giannis and his brother tried to help by selling watches and sunglasses.
揚尼斯於 1994 年十二月六日出生於希臘雅典。他的父母是從奈及利亞非法移民到希臘,所以他無法成為希臘公民。由於他是在海外出生,他也無法拿到奈及利亞國籍。在他人生中前十八年的日子裡,他都不屬於任何國家的正式公民。在希臘的生活對他的家庭而言是很艱困的。他的父母當時很難找到工作,所以揚尼斯和他的兄弟試著賣手錶及太陽眼鏡來幫忙。
