Flamzey00: Agree 100% But 1.Even with sensitization, so long as you don't have a critical mass of people and coprorate bodies interested in the sport (not just for funding purposes...but to provide things like fans, athletes and coaches)..gymnastics won't take off in Nigeria. 2.Plus, it costs money to get sufficient equipment for gymnastics (things like pommel horse, vaults, rings, bars, etc)...which many schools and colleges cannot afford. P.S We do have a Gymnastics federation in Nigeria. Has been around since at least the 1980's. 1 Like |

Flamzey00: It actually takes a long-term plan to nurture a generation of professional athletes to world-class, Olympic standard. For gymnastics you also need a lot of equipment that needs constant maintenance and upgrading. Plus, you have to start training when youre about 8 years old, for several hours a week, to build the type of physique and flexibility needed. Not to mention the kind of physiotherapists, nutritionists and sport-specialised doctors you would need to employ. Millions of naira need to be poured in per child, every year To start off with, we would be better off with sports that require less equipment, like running/football before we start complicating things. And we need to build a national interest and culture around sports The budget doesnt even care for arts/sports right now. This is the same reason we dont have world class ballet dancers (though our traditional dance more than makes up for that) 4 Likes 2 Shares |

2dice01:But what is all the gymnastics for? To me it's a useless sport. Let's say you are graduate, with no job but excellent gymnastics, how will you eat? You fly over shoprite fence? If you say you want to do gymnastics, do it as a hobby while you get a real job to buy food, pay rent and take care of your family. If later you win a medal for all your somersaulting, use the medal money to buy land. |

midnighter:And if they don't watch you nko? You will be like those guys in National Stadium surulere wasting the whole day playing and all looking thin and hungry. I still maintain, it's better to just do it as a play, part-time something. Then go and find real work to earn money. Don't let hunger kill you. Them Gordons and Basket mouth have arrived. They climb stage, talk nonsense and go home with millions. I don't think Gymnastics will ever get to that level of comfortable earnings. |

2dice01:I know that exactly. There's no billionaire graduate person. I lived overseas for a short while. I see how their system works. They have government grants. All those, my father died, I didn't go to school... I was depressed and started playing basketball, council house people. They first depend on government aid to stay alive. Then go into sports to chase their depression away. Some then get sponsors.... and maybe their life becomes better. To them, i wish the best. But for how many years can a human being continue sumersaulting? One must get a good job and settle down. 1 Like |
