It is a complete disgrace that invented sports in Nigeria are not promoted for high but are being abandoned, if the Nigerian government of the 20th century is behaving in such a way that the 15th century government of u.k is better off, i wonder what the governing body of sport should do!.
In fact, if the people of Nigeria who loves sport and hates racism would know that a country whose citizens are suffering from the stigma of being a black in other countries and have free movement in their home country would know that discouraging a home discovered sport and encouraging a borrowed sport is also a form of racism in Nigeria.
