saintdennis:

Their forefathers (dem Thomas jefferson, George washington n co.) had a vision and decided to launch a war for independence...after independence one won presidency the other accepted the result, due to slave trade policies they fought a war and the loser (who SURRENDERED) put the past behind and they even became stronger ties between the north and south (confederates)
Subsequent leaders improved and improved and today their basketball team alone living luxury lifestyle.

NOW TO NAIJA! Our forefathers were busy using amadioha, sango, Ogun etc to kill themselves whilst the white man took the lands.
Then after a while the white man gave our forefathers independence...then the independence leaders zik, awo, balewa n bello all shared naija like their papa property... then election for number 1 came and the loser grudgingly accepted result before you know it a coup happened, then a civil war and YEARS LATER THE SIDE THAT SURRENDERED STILL WONT LET IT GO!
And like our forefathers we STILL FIGHTING OURSELVES TILL TODAY?! While the white man has been joined by the Asians as they begin re-colonising africa.

Now our Olympic team dey struggle to see plane reach Olympics.

Anyway na naija u-23 get Olympic gold...

Lol. Shut ya gob and stop posting useless racist history that was built on the backs of millions of black people who were dehumanised and worked as slaves for centuries, without being paid a dime.

And the US neither provided the facility for them nor does the US pays them a dime for competing at the olympics, hence a lot of the stars dropped out and Dwayne Wade actually made a complaint about it before the last olympics in 2012. They play at the olympics for free.

This facility was provided for them by Cisco and it had nothing to do with the US government. They used their star power as the leverage for the endorsement. And I think it is cos of the zika virus and the fact that they all have great careers to return to.

What does this have to do with the 'black man and his mentality' when Rio is one of the most dangerous cities on earth?

What is the black man's mentality and how does it work in this instance where some of the administrators are white?

At least, they honoured the Olympics and Brazil by participating, while white golf players, who don't even make as much as they do had excuses to boycott it lol. Ya beloved white people aren't there.

The facility was provided by Cisco - they weren't the ones who pulled any stunt. They just used their star power to get the sponsorship.

At the end of the day, you don't expect each of them to risk a career worth hundreds of millions of dollars for a ceremonial competition - especially when someone is offering to sponsor something like this for them.

A lot of you are just so ignorant, it's painful lol.

Nigeria is way past her glory days, Nigeria has enough talent to be developed to actively compete with USA in Basketball,Athletics,Tennis,Swimming, Gymnastics and all these other sports, but there is no support from the government or even private corporations.
Even now as I type, I was watching a soccer Olympic match where the American commentators were talking about how the Nigerian team is currently stuck in Atlanta airport just hours before their first match.
Sports used to be the saving grace of Nigeria we could beat our chest in public but sadly it's no longer.
With our population we should be in top 10 in the world in any sport that does not involve snow or ice.
Think about that, seriously.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU IGNORANT COMPREHENSION CHALLENGED PEOPLE ON NL NAAAAAAAAA?

Go to school and read book you no gree, na woman u dey look when comprehension topics dey. Smh.

Is it ONLY USA that has a national basketball league? Instead of you ignorant people whose forefathers genes still strongly manifest in your lives to READ BETWEEN THE LINES you will just read and rush to comment.

Who gives a flying fvck about our dehumanised forefathers? Weren't they sold by their OWN RULERS? Who CARES ABOUT SLAVE LABOURERS?

Who built the pyramids in egypt...who built egypt itself? Wasn't it the slaves?, what about Japan? India? Arab world didn't they use slaves too?
Even till today we still have modern slavery People working for peanuts breaking their backs for as little as N100 per hour. Equality is a sham and it will always be strong oppressing weak. So STFU

My point which you missed due to your poor education is that their forefathers had a vision of america and made concessions where necessary for the benefit of the nation (patriotism) and kept working to ensure that vision was achieved... that patriotism ensured the country is developed enough for its basketball team to enjoy such benefits

You're so ignorant you rushed to say it's not US govt who rented the yatch without reading my text to see if I stated US govt paid for it?

Barclays bank that is sponsoring EPL you think it's for charity? You think they're not gaining A LOT in returns?

You think CISCO or whatever did it out of CSR? NO FREE LUNCH IN AMERICA / WESTERN WORLD.

Majority of you ignorant niqqas are the reasons why nigeria and africa CANNOT GROW you and toddlers have same Strategic thinking I.Q
