Nigeria sport is on the rise under Tinubu's regime.

The Eaglet receive many gift after the world cup show and now everybody want to be like them.

This must be a new pattern of having global qualifiers instead of continental qualifiers.

The demerit is that all the African teams can be eliminated even before making it to the Olympics proper.
