33 points & losing all group games, is there a medal for it?. Do you want God to extend your sufferings for saying foolish things?

Sorry, Giannis is not as frustrated as you. He doesn't despise any of his parents. He loves both. If you loved both of your parents and respected them, you wouldn't have ended up as frustrated as you are today. Go to hell!

Who even followed the news of Nigerian basketball team

Uchasa:


Was it Nwora's father that chose the Olympic squad? See this frustrated thing that doesn't even have a TV, let alone know how the basketball game works?
Who destroyed Nigeria's Table Tennis Team comprised of, Captain Aruna Quadri(Yoruba), Funke Oshonaike (Yoruba), Offiong Edem(Efik-Ibibio), and Olajide Omotayo(Yoruba), that were all beaten without winning a game at this same Olympics? Also an Igbo shey?
Nwora's father did a good job by leaving D'Tigers for an American. If he was the coach, by now, people like you would have cried more. I wonder why the American coach even made the Basketball team more Igbocentric than before

Nwora's father was the interim coach before the new coach recently came on board for the Olympics. Nwora's father is a major influence on the team and only a foolish dolt would deny it. He is the assistant coach, in case you're too daft to know.

In your stupid reasoning, the table tennis team was not selected based on tribalism but on merit. Those are the best hands we have got in Nigeria. Don't believe me, believe the World & Africa's table tennis rankings.
But the basketball team were selected by coach Nwora based on his preference for dressing room cleaners.

this Olympics so far has been nothing but pain and disgrace, thankfully most Nigerians are watching bbnaija, so I doubt the pain will be felt that much nationwide.... but seriously sha, it's been a depressing Olympic run so far

We started preparation very late.
While serious countries didn't stop preparing during the lockdown we, only started gathering athletes last year.

Oh, so that "experienced" table tennis team that won no game or anything reasonable and lost to inferior sides is the best Nigeria has, but the young basketball team that shocked US and Argentina in a pre-olympic ehibition, but narrowly loss to Australia, Germany, and Italy is not the best Nigeria has?

Daft, daft, daftus.
The table tennis team lost against their betters. They lost to those ranked above them. Table tennis is based on rankings not tribal selection as Dtigers team.
Almost everyone knows that both basketball teams stand no chance but we still pushed them on but ibos were so daft that the cheatbeating was taken to a ridiculous level forgetting that those guys are representing Nigeria but foolish ibos tagged them biafran team. So who takes the stick, Me or the foolish ibos?

Oga, this is the best Nigerian team. We should appreciate the fact that we have 8 NBA players in our team. They are a total of 29 NBA players eligible to play for Nigeria, and more than half who happen to be the best half have pledged their allegiance to other countries. From the Antetokunpos allegiance to Greece, to Ayton's allegiance to Bahamas, to Anunoby,Oladipo, Adebayo, and Okoro's allegiance to USA.

I counted 19 NBA players of nigerian descent. Can u send a link to the total 29 players.

MaziAlaye:

This is like saying yorubas that chants "omoluabis" are casting other ethnic groups?? When did praising your ethnic group become a hatred towards other ethnic group?
Your Igbophobia is never gonna help you dumbfucker!

Dear IPOB cretin, if you Igbos were shouting "dot country" and "Igbo Amaka" because their ethnic dominated the basketball squad, then there's nothing wrong if non-Igbos mock Igbos for the abysmal performances of the Igbo-dominated team. Your Yorubaphobia is never gonna help you, you deplorable cretin!

Ok, so D'Tigers lost to those below them? . When I said you don't have a TV set, I wasn't joking. I'm not sure you know what's happening in the world!

So, what also destroyed these Yoruba trio: Godwin Olofua, Anoluwapo Opeyori, and Dorcas Ajoke Adesokan who represented Nigeria in badminton at this same Olympics and crashed out after failing to win a game! Was it also Nwora's father, or another Igbo man?

I'm becoming more patriotic and less tribalistic, but Nigerians on Nairaland are making me become even more tribalistic.

codemaniacs:


Even if Nigeria builds good structures and has local talents those local talents will not be chosen and the team selection will be the same thing you are seeing. So you're saying rubbish.

Then go vote for politicians who would ensure federal character...don't complain to me.

why so much hate?

Love ur neighbor as urself what happened to that? Or arnt u God chosen ppl again? Hypocrite that's what we Nigerians are. Keep carrying the hate of ur great grand parents, it's ur funeral not mine.

Limassol:
I read somewhere 13 of the players are igbo, how true is it?

Honestly, I have no problem with the vast majority of the team being Igbo bro. I mean, deciding to represent Nigeria despite Nigeria's incompetent sport administrators and shambolic treatment of Nigeria's athletes isn't easy. A bunch of chestbeating clowns on Nairaland won't get me to hate a Nigerian team just because its Igbo-dominated. The Igbo chaps in the team never offended me, and were only out there to do what they knew how to do best for themselves and country. But what I had a problem with is how plenty Igbos on here would be crying blue murder about "Igbo marginalization" if a Nigerian team is dominated by another ethnic group.

Your thinking is low man. Everyone is represented, Yoruba, Ibo, Urhobo/isoko, Edo, Ibibios etc But ibos made the mess of everything, calling a team biafran team, that's the point. No one else gave a tribal tag to any category except ibos. If you can't comprehend the point, get lost.

Politicians aren't involved in team selection unless it's in the coach's contract.

I'm not complaining I'm just letting you know that there are no local players in the basketball team so even if Nigeria has world class facilities they won't have been selected.

HEAVEN4444:
bam adebayo and victor oladipo and giannis adetokunbo

but the American coach doesn't feel they are better than what he currently haave in his squad. Same way the super eagles coach doesn't feel home based players are good enuf for his team. So u blame the coach not the tribe, players didn't select their selves did they?

Uchasa:

Lol. You can't escape being a tad tribalistic as long as you're on Nairaland bro. I understand you, but it's not easy to do that on here.

Yes i know, and at the end of the day they were not good enough...yes they play abroad...in countries that have enough of local talent to the point that they cannot play regularly.

Which is why we have to spend more on our sports...getting the kind of talent and expertise that we need to win things.

Dpaulie:

Better leave this guy... I don't know why tribal sentiment has blinded some of our people to know the truth... Brown is an American and has done so well in coaching

and this tribal sentiments is the reason Nigeria will never be great. As much as I love Nigeria I still feel the 3major tribe will never come together we just hide under the guise of religion where as we are worse than the European who don't give religion priority in their society. Either we split, or we bother sit and agree on new terms to co exist aside that we just deceiving ourself.

Only painful thing is ppl like me who really don't get excited abt leaving the country, now am beginning to consider
