It's a shame that local coaches failed to qualify Nigeria football teams to Olympics

Only 60 , something that used to be 300

How will they qualify when all they do is paddy paddy ,from the grassroot to the top it’s rotten

Munaking:

Hey please shut up. Just shut up and keep quiet forever. Sports is the only thing that all these useless sentiments have not been brought into so leave it that way.

I can't state a fact in peace again? Why must Ibos monopolize everything

Champneys:


it doesnt fu....cking matter, they are Nigerians and that is what matters!

It matters. We must maintain federal character

FreeIgboho:


Tribe how? Check my moniker. I'm only wondering why they gave 11 out of 20 top spots to Ibos. Na only them follow come

ibos used basketball to pad their numbers. Basketball has a mandatory squad of 12 players, both male & female team of 24 players. In other categories, ibos are in the minorities.

-erase the dot

With the way Igbos make noise calling Nigeria zoo on nairaland and tweeter, one would expect them to turn down any representation of Nigeria.

joshh148:
hmm... has anyone tried this platform? really efficient in loan grants.

Has anyone tried it?

Yet, it's really efficient?

Readers, BE WARNED.

God bless our athletes. May injury be far from them. May they triumph over all their opponents. Amen.

Amojii:
Are they not Nigerians again?

They are 5%,dot in circle and Biafran boys.



That's the language.

Zeejohnson:
Have you heard the word "merit" before?

bros no such thing as merit to get on nigerian olympic team. its BRIBE. if you dont bribe you are not getting on. thats how david alaba and anthony joshua wanted to represent nigeria in olympics and they were asking them for bribe, those guys just jejely went back to represent britain and austria

What does erase the dot mean?

Say no to tribalism!

These 5% pipul sef

Seun360:


Nneka Ogwumike wey FIBA denied her request to switch to Nigeria come dey D'Tigress list?

Odi egwu.

The OP made a mistake..He supposed to write Erica and not Nneka.. Erica is the younger of the sisters and Nigeria is her first choice for international competition

HIGHESTPOPORI:
IGBOS the backbone of Nigeria.

Isn't it obvious?

thebosstrevor1:
I really don't care because they wont bring anything back home.

Anyway, i appreciate them for participating.


Note: See how igbo people dominate everywhere, after they will claim that Nigeria hate them and don't want their success and shout of marginalization.

At they there because Nigeria love them Or No one else could do it but them.

Zeejohnson:

Merit my black ass...the only thing they have in common is that they are all based abroad.

Was there any competition in Nigeria to select the best.

Every country goes to a competition process to select the best, their is always a heat process where those who reaches the final get to go to the Olympics but in Nigeria it is different.

So mr man, if it was merit then many names listed wouldn't have been on the list.

BePrepared:


At they there because Nigeria love them Or No one else could do it but them.

So basically you are sayong it is not a meritocracy but anybody available.

FreeIgboho:
Why are they almost all Igbos in all the sports we consider "real" sports?

The reason is very clear. The north hide their females in the other room. They see females performing sports as a Haram to their religion And guess what? Buhari would have edited the list if only if they could person half of the performance of these ones here.

FreeIgboho:

What sport did you consider nonsport?

Since Nigerians want to act fools on the world stage, i wouldn’t be surprised if some foreign coaches or competitors believe they could advantage their own athletes - every little helps - by getting someone to approach Nigerian athletes like Blessing Okagbare and encourage them to boycott their events or make no effort in order to "send message" to Nigerian politicians.

This is a daft idea of course but Nigerians like that guy on the bus are acting so daft foreigners could be forgiving for believing Nigerians have all become half-witted dimwits.

MANDIPUTIN:
Why is it that people from quota system & Parasitic region not in the list?

Cos this is strictly on merit.. You will never find them merit anything when there is equity involved

I am beginning to notice one thing about Nairalanders.

Majority are tribalistic in nature.

It is becoming a platform for ethnic conflict.

I keep saying it, that all of that won't take us no where but rather give a bad impression.

majamajic:

It's not compulsory We go with large numbers of contingent just to go and take number with little or no medals, it's better we go with 60 and win many medals this time.

WibusJaga:
Anything based on merit; give it to Southerners

Now that it is favorable it is merit otherwise is isn't. Don't worry you dominate the list here and no northerner is complaining so don't complain when northerners dominate the list they are most qualified. After all nobody has monopoly of knowledge.

Naija 4 ever

Nepotism of the highest order....imagine the hypocrisy!

How i wish the list is filled up with northerners the story and comments would have changed!

Did you now see how biased, hateful and hypocritical you are?

All the best champs. More gold medals

thebosstrevor1:

Note: See how igbo people dominate everywhere, after they will claim that Nigeria hate them and don't want their success and their usual shout of marginalization.

How can you care when there is no killing competition at Olympic, Boko Haram and bandits would have represented us

They better come home with enough gold medals

We don't want excuses.
