Sad we don't appreciate talent, that is why developed countries will remain developed,corruption and nepotism have clouded our judgements! if this should continue Africans will continue to make foreigners proud |

cooldood: You are a fool like your fellow worthless kinsmen from your erosion ravaged region. I guess your Kanu and JJ Okocha played for England before they become what they eventually became... I also guess that all the foreign players(Nigerians living in diaspora with dual citizenship) in our National Basketball team and Nollywood were given chances in UK before being allowed in Nigeria to make their names Just Bleep off Animals living in Zoo |

The gold medal he won at the London Olympics was controversial. In the gold medal bout, he got a favorable decision (home decision) against the Kagastani. Anybody familiar with boxing will understand what home decision means. Even the quarter finals bout was controversial. Had he represented Nigeria, he wouldn't get those decisions and would not smell the gold medal. That is the gospel truth. |

abescom: This is not true,he was rejected because he was deemed fragile,what we termed stamina in Nigeria.The boy has been in football academy since age 5,how come he left Austria for Nigeria U-17 trials without boots,If his parents can afford his flight ticket why can't they afford 20euro boot? |

if he had represented Nigeria he would have missed his opportunity to become great. Ahn ahn Nigerian sports officials will owe athletes their money, the athletes will loss hope of becoming something tangible |

Am sure he wouldn't av won the title if he represent nigeria. Reasons: He wouldn't be well fed He wouldn't be well trained(how do you expect poorly fed coach to train poorly fed anthony) He wouldn't be support financially. His dream would av be marred by nigeria economic recession. Now we are calling him oluwafemi omo ogun abeg no tell me sey Nigeria dey envy him º°˚˚˚°ºoº°˚˚˚°º |

Re: How Nigerian Boxing Officials Rejected Anthony Joshua by successinlife: 10:07am On May 01, 2017 |
Truth is bitter,if AJ represented Naija 2008 olympics he wouldn't have won no medal because of two factors,believe me or not,solid preparation before a big event is always needed for any athletes to do well in any competition,Nigeria lacks in this perspective,a good example is the last RIO olympics where a foreigner,Japanesse have to come to the rescue of a big nation like Nigeria with lots of billionaires etc.You may not know but it is a fact,big nations are always favoured over small or third world countries,please don't compare age grade competitions here because the super powers don't take it serious.There would rather be ojoro/bad officiating etc for any african team to defeat Italy/Spain/England/France etc at a crucial stage in football world cup for example.That's why most of anything discovered/made outside the powerfuls will still be termed underbaked. Joshua doing it as a Briton of Nigeria root is still ok,there is more to it,Joshua is Irish because of dad's dual Ntaionality,Nigerian because of mum and then British because of his place of birth but trust GB anything good is theirs and anything not up to standards is quickly refered back to it's origin.A. Murray was always termed scotish/Scots Murray whenever he looses at his early carrier but when the tides changes and he is winning he became british Andy Murray.The guy knows it all and he said he is proud of his Nigerian root,which to me settles all discord. |

You guys should chill. It is possible the coaches had better options then. But trust me aJ must have put in a whole lot of work after that rejection. Nigeria just don't support new talents....in all areas; sports, politics, academia, entertainment... etc. I am 100% sure AJ would have disappeared.... like Chukwumerieje (Takwandoo guy) if he represented Nigeria. Lesson: 1) Every disappointment is a potential blessing, if you know what you are looking for. 2) Do not let people, environment or systems define you....look in the mirror and tell yourself who you really are. 3) Really success has no shortcut....the only route to it is via work lane! 4) Nigeria is running a default program that needs urgent reformatting and reprogramming! |

That shows the level of corruption and impunity in our sport sector, assuming he represented us, it would have been a thing of joy. |
