kennysville:I have come to the conclusion that the primary reason why we are where we are is because of this confounding mix of different ethnic groups. That's why I love homogeneous societies. I pity countries that God blessed with homogeneity and they decided to be liberal to the point of introducing alien ethnicities into their midst. Babel is the biblical metaphor for what mixture of languages does. It leads to collapse 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Odunayaw:Our elites who are supposed to make these things a reality are not on survival mode. When the British were here, our people were grappling with survival but you know that most boarding schools had cricket fields. Most people do not know that Emmanuel Ifeajuna who won gold by breaking the high jump record at the commonwealth games in Canada in 1954 is the one commemorated on the cover of exercise book we used in primary and secondary school. Leadership does not care. If it does, even poverty will not be an excuse. |

The 88 athletes who qualified for these events were not handpicked—they earned their spots by ranking among the top 16 in the world in their respective disciplines. This achievement alone is remarkable. Let’s not downplay it by bringing in irrelevant arguments like the 200m population crap, where we all know our athletes are only from the Southern part of the country. It's essential to recognize that we are talking about a population of less than 80 million people in the South, yet we have the largest contingent of Black athletes who qualified on merit. If that doesn't fill you with pride, then perhaps it's time to reflect. Are you among the top 100 million in your own field? These athletes are competing at the highest levels, and they deserve our utmost respect. I am incredibly proud of our athletes. Over 50 of them qualified directly for their events from a global population of over 8 billion people. We had 19, 20, and 21-year-olds placing 5th, 6th, 7th, 13th, and 14th among the best in the world. We saw a 400m hurdles semi-finalist, and both male and female finalists in the 400m. #Peace We had semi-finalists in the 100, and 200m. A finalists in the 200m! We were ably represented in long jump, wrestling, table tennis, discus, shot put, 110m hurdles, weightlifting, high jump, javelin, basketball, soccer, and more. We are the only African country representing our continent in these events, maybe 1 or 2 others, and we earned those positions through hard work, not by default. Our female basketball team made it to the quarter-finals, and our female soccer team ranked among the top 16 in the world. We have three long jump finalists and, with hope and determination, we are aiming for Gold in the 110m hurdles. The investments we’ve made in our youth are bearing fruit, and we can look to the future with optimism. I am deeply proud of our athletes. They have made us all proud, and the sky is just the starting point for their achievements. Thank you to our athletes for all your hard work and for representing us so admirably. 12 Likes 3 Shares |

It's not as if we are renowned for having world class or standard training facilities to train our athletes but we are always angry whenever they fail to win anything in competitions. Where Dem wan see am? Me I'm just proud of them for qualifying. Any medal they get is a jara. 1 Like |

Jamaica doesn't have more resources than Nigeria they are just more strategic plus they have sport administrators (read athletics) who're for the most part patriotic and competent. Directly to your question can't we gather our athletics brains and former athletes like Onyali, Enobong, Chioma Ajunwa, Segun Odegbami and the guy who runs Making of Champions to brainstorm and come up with a plan? Cos this lazy approach of sending our best athletes to US to develop isn't yielding long term benefits. If countries like Cuba and Jamaica can do it then we have no excuse..

I support am since 2021. I no remember o, u get receipts? I’ve stated the reasons why he is my preferred candidate at this point. Never insinuated he is the best. But if a coach is not really passionate with belief in the team what will he translate to the players? He is still a low grade coach nevertheless based on his achievements Mujtahida: |

I have to agree but it can go either way. The US although still an experiment have harnessed their diversity for success. It’s only a matter of time, we’ll see if this will last especially if the liberals dominate Mujtahida: |
