Wetin you want do? So, if a prophet tells you that Nigeria can beat France, you will believe him? If you believe that, you will believe anything.

Win or lose, I still love them. Take your negativity far from me.

Since the atheletes are families/products of big guns in the government, na so so pankere dem go dey chop for that olympics…


Until a son/daughter of nobody makes the team without knowing somebody,

We shall never have an indomitable team

1.Most of our players are children of diasporan Nigerians...ie Nigerians born abroad. They have no links to anyone in government (and in some instances might have played for other countries)

2.Basketball is not that popular in Nigeria. Thus the talent pool is limited...hence our selecting children from the diaspora.

3.iF any of the players were home based...yeah. But we have not selected a homebased basketball squad in over ten years, if not longer

4.If we want to have a good basketball team, we have to get more kids interested in playing basketball, which would then bring in more interest, more money, more coaches, more facilities, and thus more talents. That's how the USA for example went from being nobodies in women's football to a world power in the game

1. So you believe the abroad based players got selected just by flashing their foreign citizenship?

2. You also believe we don’t have sons/daughters of nobody in Nigeria better than abroad based athletes?

That fulani man curse them... as far as they supporting zoo Republic team Nigeria will leave Tokyo in shame with medal another lose game

naija for the win

What of the female football? Some have played twice and i haven't seen them...or they didn't qualify? Even d men football i no see

1.Post proof that the players were selected based on who they know.

2.Post proof that we have enough talented players who are daughters of nobodies

Thanks. I'm waiting.

Let's even not forget that we

1.Don't have the same amount of facilites

2.A very weak youth structire

3.No sport research facilites

4.Not even a decent female basketball league.

Plus of the players selected, most play in the USA or in top European countries like Italy.

Face it, if we lose, it won't be because of nepotisim...it would be because we frankly are not good enough. And the minute we begin adressing the structural problems in Nigerian basketball...the better.

Good morning.

I doff my slanted baseball cap to you sir. Some of these posters have no understanding of the world around them, due to limited travels and awareness.

We should just call this Nigeria team our foreign Legion basketball team. It will become like this in many other sports with the lack of facilities and decent sports management.

Dem go trash us as usual nal

[quote author=Julianaa post=104234254]We are not well prepared

We can't go far

Nobody send this year's Olympics,
So mods save your self the stress and stop boring us with this on front page

This is so not true, there are Many people who're following and it's not just here in Nigeria only but the world over.

Did France win their last game? If not, they will give us a run for our money.
I wish D'Tigress win this. Can't afford another loss. Like the gods are angry with Nigeria. Even the Almighty God isn't happy with the happenings in the country.

50/50 game let just try to take our moments when it comes same way our male team failed to do I believe in the ladies they don't even miss free trows so we are good to go

We go collect

Emotions don't bring result... skills do...that's why nothing works in this shithole. Lemme know when Nigeria wins.

We are not going anywhere.

We allowed ethnicity and bigotry to blind our eyes to the real talents. A lot of very good talents were dropped just because of their Muslim names and/states of origin.
