Nneka Ogwumike is furious that she was sacrificed on the altar of politics.

She deserves to be in that US team 100%.

Inferiority complex is you're problem.. Local mgbeke..

Many Nigerian bases igbo girls call themselves chinny... What if she ditched her local name for an English name? people called by their English names, does that make them ashamed of their local names..

Like naeto c said poor people are the problem with this nation.. And ill add to the whole world.. In everything they must find something to complain about.. When you make a joke, they take offense, because their inferior minds believe your talking about them, You lot don't know thats the source of your problem.. In everything you must find fault

I don’t think they should be allowed to compete for Nigeria, let others who are eligible be given the opportunity and exposure please. If she’d (Nenka) been selected by US would she have considered Nigeria? Let’s be objective here. They wanna use and dump us grin

Football fans are having a difficult time understanding that, in terms of representation, the Nigerian National basketball team is just like the football team.

In D'Tigress we have players that were born in Nigeria and grew up in Nigeria before going abroad to play professionally, that is, people like the former captain, Aisha Balarabe (nee Mohammed), the star Evelyn Akhator, Elo Edeferioka, etc. We also have players that were born abroad to Nigerian parents. These players have visited Nigeria many times and they are in touch with Nigerian culture. I'm referring to people like Sarah Ogoke, Ezinne Kalu and Atonye Nyingifa.

Like I said, it's just like the football teams. You would not say that Alex Iwobi and Victor Moses, who were born in Nigeria but moved abroad when they were little, are not Nigerians or don't know anything about Nigeria. You would not say that Osaze Odemwingie, who was born in Uzbekistan, is not Nigerian. You won't say that Bright Dike, who was born in the US, is not Nigerian. So what's the big deal about the Nigerian basketball players that's making so many people make ill-informed assumptions?

There have been many Nigerian born basketballers who have played for other countries (e.g. Akeem Olajuwon), just as there have been many Nigerian born footballers who have played for other countries (e.g. Emmanuel Olisadebe), so what's the big deal?

That reminds me...Darly Dike scored a brace for the US soccer team early this morning. Daryl is Courtney Dike’s brother. Their elder brother Bright Dike also played for Nigeria.

Ignorance at its peak



Chinenye "Chiney" Ogwumike is a Nigerian-American professional women's basketball player for the Los Angeles Sparks of the Women's National Basketball Association. As of 2020, she became the first Black woman to host a national radio show for ESPN, also being the first WNBA player to do so. Wikipedia

Yes, I know. Courtney is always posting about his exploits with the US Men's National team and with Barnsley.
