Mainly because horses can be very expensive to buy and maintain. Compare that to a soccer ball.

Yes, they are.

In the 90s, Dapo Ojora said his horses were imported from Argentina and that 50, 000 was the cost of feeding each of these horses. I mean mid 90s. One must be very rich to do this.
I also read that beautiful Nigerian girls used to flock those venues especially the one somewhere on the Island, Lagos. Mohammed Babaginda and other thieves were members

Even in the UK, one young Kuku (of the Kuku family and a British soldier now), is a polo-playing friend of prince William. All over the world, polo players are rich, privileged or  royal.




Tpia, how are you?

OP,

We need to make a distinction here, there are some players who are just players and there are some players who not only play but also invest in the game-own clubs, sponsor teams, procure horses, tend and groom the horses. Players like Dawule Baba while not removing from his pedigree is not your A-list millionaire but a first rate polo player and probably the most capped polo player in Nigeria. Whereas the owner of Abraka Polo Club, Prince Albert Esiri is an investor and also a player a, +2 handicap.
