Nigerian basketball is characterized by government negligence, we have lots of youth wasting on the streets, not everyone can become a footballer.. Basketball could be set up properly, it would engage our youths meaningfully and even aid in job creation.
We seriously lack public basketball courts in nigeria, you only find public courts in very big schools or stadiums and millitary bases. And these locations are unaccessible to people far from this locations.
Am not much of a basketballer only because i could not find courts to play nearby. In lagos, i have to spend almost a thousand naira on transport in order to get to the closest basketball court to and fro.
Please yaba and surulere is too far for some of us, establish public courts in all the local government areas.

I stay around iju ishaga, if you know any public or private court around, please let me know.

OP, how old are you? How tall are you?

Am 6ft..below 25

Football seems to have overshadowed all other sporting activities in Nigeria.

I doubt it.

The Tigers of Nigeria are one of the best basketball teams in Africa.

basketball and tennis are the most popular sports in Nigeria outside of football.

In my school, there are basketball practices and games everyday by 4pm, while football happens only on 2nd semester.

Our boys recently won the Afrobasket, Nigerians tens to follow sports which we're sure of dominance to some extent against other African teams. A good followership will be dependent on great results and accessibility.

For now, EPL is easier to access than the NBA and we don't have players there as opposed to EPL

No
