I don't think it has come to this! Just share your information and leave it at that.

I've been in this guys shoes a couple of times, being a former Basketball player too.

They have not even had a league in two years. It's that bad!!

Back to the post, leave the guy to stress that part of it because some Nigerians and a lot on Nairaland would justify this insanity with their ad hominem, nonsensical excuses with stupid statements like "are they the only ones suffering?" "I also sleep outside" Nigerians are a special breed of sick people.

No, they're home based players playing in the Nigeria league
that's why the country can treat them shabbily.i swear the board won't dare this poo if one of these guys play for an NBA team.


I pray these guys get bigger in their career so that these nonsense will stop.

This is a pre-school type of mentality and reasoning and I won't indulge you any further.

I guess, those athlete's where there as representatives of the ministry of sports and not a Nigerian team and this shameful act will not be on Nigeria since they are not identified as a team representing Nigeria.

Hope you can you see the senselessness in reasoning in such a childish manner?
it seems you don't understand what I'm saying.

Bro,whatever it is.the fact still remains that these guys were there on behalf of this country,the country should have provide a shelter and a comfortable means of transportation for them(not a three day road trip.even college players in the United States travel by flight and stay in classy,NCAA affiliated hotels).Nigeria screwed up seriously.we should never treat our athletes like this,if Victor oladipo or any of those big boys is in this squad, this won't have happened.

This ones can't wait to run away from the country. If I were them, I would be there a week or two before the game opening sef. I'm sure 85percent of them would do everything possible not to come back to Nigeria either by crook or freewill oloshoism.

I know am welly. Forget about the name or media presentation. Not every country have time to make noise on social media. Take out time and research Mali. They far outweigh Nigeria as of late.

I would even sleep outside just to be a part of this team. Don't get me wrong they were treated wrongly but passion makes you blind to many things.

The Nigerian National Basketball team, D'Tigers that went to the FIBA AfroCAN in Mali allegedly slept out in the cold as there was no provision for hotel or accommodation for them.

Super sports analyst, Oluwafemi Adefeso, cries out after some players in the national basketball team shared with him details of their trip to Mali.

He wrote;

7 ⭐ EKO HOTEL LODGING!

THE NIGERIA NATIONAL BASKETBALL TEAM

I am not the best carrier of BAD NEWS but this one can't be kept quiet. CHIEF!!! A GOOD CONSCIENCE FORBIDS IT.

I have personal relationship with atleast 9 players + coaches on the D'Tigers Team that went to the FIBA AfroCAN in Mali, the CHAN equivalent in Football. My dear friends slept out in the cold representing their country. BIG FAT SHAME ON NIGERIA!

If you call it beef, you have a problem! In fact YOU ARE SICK! YOU NEED PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION.

Our super Team Manager Victor Okoro came out the other day to justify an horrific 3 day road trip for a NATIONAL TEAM with ferried STRANGERS on the BUS representing Nigeria. Congratulations sir, you have done well.

I am super livid. What kind of a country is this?

HOME BASED NA CRIME?

SHAME ON THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!

He went on to share screenshot of conversations with the players and pictures of them sleeping outside as no hotel or accommodation was provided on arrival.
