Look at Christine Ohuruogu and Lawrence Okoye they are of Nigerian ancestry. If Nigeria had more economic opportunities their parents would have stayed in Nigeria and they might have been able to play for the Nigerian Olympic team. We also need to INVEST in the sports industry and we can have more Olympians!!! We need more track and fields, well maintenance football pitches and more state of the art basketball courts. We can start a huge billion dollar sports industry.

Those both are representing Great Britain. Who else is representing other countries?

You mean Chief Tunde Fagbenle whose articles are published on the back page of Sunday Punch? I guessed as much because from his previous articles that I have read, he has interests in supporting young ones who are into sports.

Remember the Rolake girl from Ibadan who plays tennis? He did his best to garner support for her so that she could be groomed into becoming a tennis star for Nigeria in the future. So I'm not surprised his daughter is into sports.
