Are you talking about athletics alone?

I am talking about sports industry generally not only athletics.

Nevertheless, what they are getting is just 0.01% of the talent available.

My son can run 100m but I no wan make em go because he prefers football.

However, if it's made compulsory in secondary schools and he eventually participates in a state competition, peradventure he can be scouted. I am not saying he's the best but I am saying if there's a process, perhaps it should be more than 1,000 which is too small for a country with 250m population.

Not saying you are wrong but I will say government needs to play part in it. How?

1. Provision of facilities from primary to university
2. Initiate competitions for primary and secondary schools from local government, state and federal level. Including university.
3. Give incentives to prospectus winners. Such as scholarship and full sponsorship for competitions abroad.
4. Develop leagues for various sports and get it sponsored by private sectors.
Etc.
5. Employe former gold medalist as national coaches. For example, our wrestling improved because of Daniel Igali.

As at now, all these are dead like dodo. We use to have them before but politicians are fiction on oil money because they don't understand Sports can used to create employment and wealth.

Joebie:
E don enter spelling now? Haha

Marjoribanks:
lol! Do you know the number of our Athletes on scholarship in the United States? Maybe before but in the last 5 years we have sent close to 1000 athletse to various Universities in the United states. You guys are too dis-informed on this platform. Ajayi just left this January.

Many could not meet the Olympic standard but they would by 2028.
Just be patient! 2028 will shock you!

Marjoribanks:
I don't understand this mofo ooo! You said I just entered yesterday, how do you expect me to understand? Are you that dull?

mostob:
God bless you bro.
Let me add Inter-varsity Olympics. I don't know if such has been organized in Nigeria yet but I believe such program will actually produce talents across the country.

There are a lot of things government can still do to make sure we have a strong participation in the global competition.

Joebie:
🤣 move on bro. I have nothing more for YIU.

Marjoribanks:
We do have NUGA games, and National sport festival!

Like we have myriad of these programs. The reason there's little to show for it is because government runs it. I don't know why it's difficult for folks to understand these.

Our athletes go to the US and join the NCAA, run solely by technocrats and run like a business. The NCAA is not a US government run inter-versity organization. Samuel Ogazi that just qualified for the 400m finals after 38 years or so is still in the NCAA.

What do they need one for?

Lane 8 was bad for Favor! Good job girl! We move!!

Dude, government policies determines if the private sector will thrive or not. This is very basic
