Former Opals captain Jenna O’Hea has confirmed claims that Liz Cambage told her Nigerian rivals to “go back to your third world country” in an incident that sparked a messy exit from the national program Cambage was independently investigated and issued a formal reprimand - but not suspended or fined - after the practice game altercation derailed the Opals’ Tokyo Olympic campaign. In the days after the Nigeria clash she withdrew from the Games citing mental health concerns and then, despite remaining available for selection for this year’s World Cup in Sydney, said she would never again play for the Opals. However the specifics of Cambage’s on-court actions at last year's Tokyo Olympics had remained a mystery until this Sunday. Speaking on the ABC’s Offsiders, retired Opals great O’Hea confirmed host Kelli Underwood’s claim that Cambage “turned to them (Nigerian players) and said ‘go back to your third world country’,”and that they hadn’t spoken since. “That is all one hundred per cent correct,” O’Hea said. It comes after Cambage, who has a Nigerian father and now plays for the Los Angeles Sparks in the WNBA, told the ABC: “I’m living my best life. I’m supported, I’m protected on a level that the Opals or the Australian team never gave to me” “My heart lies with those who want to protect me and those who want me to be the best I can be, and I never felt that at the Opals at all. So yeah, I’m good.” O’Hea, a long-time captain of Cambage, bristled when asked for her response. “I can hold my head up high and say I always loved her, always cared for her, supported her, had her back,” O’Hea said “That is her reality and the listeners can believe what they want to believe. “Everyone’s done more than enough. We’ve sacrificed a lot to try and keep her in the program. “She doesn’t want to be here anymore. That’s her choice and we need to move on without her.” The Opals struggled without Cambage in Tokyo but O’Hea said with proper preparation Sandy Brondello’s outfit would play to its ranking, which has long fluctuated between No.2 and No.3 in the world, at Sydney’s World Cup. Their September campaign could also mark the return of Lauren Jackson, who has dominated at NBL1 level for Albury-Wodonga since coming out of retirement. “There’s so many wonderfully talented basketballers in Australia, so many playing in the WNBA,” O’Hea said. “With the right preparation we can do really well. “There’s so many great role models ... I want the media to focus on those who want to play for the Opals and represent Australia.” https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/basketball/ohea-lifts-lid-on-cambage-opals-incident-c-6719969 3 Likes 4 Shares

Litmus: Majority of Americans are geographically ignorant beyond belief. But they are quick to say ''third world country''. Americans are so ignorant that a great many of them think all Africans live in mud huts in the village, with no running water or electricity. They are shocked when you tell them you have internet in 'Africa'. Most of them think Africa is a single country, not a continent with 54 sovereign nations. They are tragically miseducated about Africa, and it is because of deliberate misinformation by their racist media and education system. 227 Likes 21 Shares |

And so what ?? Is NIGERIA not a third world country ?and her NIGERIANS not third world people? Lot of NIGERIANS travels abroad and start demanding the same right with the citizens of those countries and cry racism when the citizens of those countries tell them fact.. Nigerians are known for bad reputation anywhere they travel to they still carry their third world mentality enter Europe and other western countries.. Just look at Europe..Europe is fast becoming a African ravaged shithole ,lot of rape ,gun and knife violence committed by third world citizens from Africa and Middle East countries and guess what the Europeans are already complaining..a time will come when the Europeans won’t bear it anymore and start xenophobic attack on African migrant and their Middle East counterparts. Recently in France some group of NIGERIANS were forcefully evicting the native French out of their homes and robbing them same thing as been happening in other part of Europe..sweden a once safe country turning to wrzone. So tell me why they won’t tell you third word citizens to go back to your shithole the European are not going to let some uncivilized people destroy their country .. Hold your fucking leaders accountable and don’t expect other country to treat you like boss and always show you sympathy 46 Likes 12 Shares |

Thebadpolitican: I've no idea where an animal dunce like you crept out from, but I have lived and worked in the USA and the UK before you were even born, and can tell you everything about those countries including everything about their people. An ignorant, inarticulate dunce like you cannot have visited more than 1 or 2 of the 54 African nations, and so you have NO CLUE about Africa, save the biased, skewed, negative nonsense you see on mainstream western TV. That has brainwashed you into calling an entire continent a 'shithole' - a word you likely never heard of before the racist neo-nazi freak of nature, Trump, used it a couple years' back. I really pray that self-hating slaves and sellout Uncle Toms like you who hate their background and their race actually run into real neo-nazi white racists on their 'turf', who will show you that it doesn't matter how much you distance yourself from your background and race, that they still regard YOU....no one else.... YOU, with the deepest hatred and revulsion. 129 Likes 5 Shares |

MALIGNANTGuest: Your problem is inferiority complex. Make up your mind. Do you hold Australia and the west to higher standards or not? If you do (which you do) then you cannot suddenly jettison those standards when it comes to the treatment of people who look like you, on ANY BASIS, including the pathetic ''we also do that to ourselves'' garbage. Either those are countries with 'good governance' where all people are treated fairly regardless of their background, or they are not. If they are not, then say so and condemn their hypocrisy, instead of making slave-boy excuses for them. 39 Likes 1 Share |

But Liz is also a Nigerian, And she is a good girl. We don't gerrit. We sure she couldn't have said that. Last July, when Cambage unexpectedly withdrew from the Australian team on the eve of the Olympics, she called it “literally one of the hardest decisions of my life”. In a social media post, she also hit out at “lies” and “fake news” surrounding her decision and directly responded to speculation about the on-court incident during that scrimmage against Nigeria. “Yeah, things got heated in the Nigeria game, there was a physical altercation and there were words exchanged,” Cambage said at the time. “But I’m hearing things that aren’t true at all. Everything that happened and everything I’ve said is on film.” If she comes out to deny it and says it is not true. We want to believe her. She loves Nigeria. She is our homegirl. Case closed. 5 Likes 2 Shares
