Nigerians are making noise for winning a friendly match. Make sure you replicate it in a competitive tournament.
US has never lost a friendly match to an Africa team b4.

You shouldn't always bring tribalism into everything. I'm sure you wouldn't have done this if the team had lost.

He is right

Give me facts that show he is wrong and i will concede

This is the result of meritocracy and not quota system. If it were to be Nigerian brought up home selection, it won't be all Igbos as some people will shout marginalisation on quota.

Until we kill quota system and enthrone meritocracy, Nigeria will never make good progress. Quota system is killing.


Iroegbu was a beast that day. Damn!!!

This is not tribalism from my point of view. Our diversity in Nigeria is supposed to be our strength but because of some quota system people will not let that be.

For example in sports, everybody knows the Igbos are strong in basketball, if it is only igbos that will represent us in basketball and put Nigeria on the world map, why not? Likewise the Yorubas are good in boxing and table tennis why can't we harness that? Middlebelt and Yorubas dominate athletics especially the sprint, Igbos dominate football, south south can be developed to dominate swimming, etc.

By the time you put all these together without bringing in the sentiment of quota system, Nigeria will be a major force in sports all round.

Bring that into governance too, If it is only the Fulanis that are strong enough to be in the military, no problem. If it's the Igbos alone that can develop our trade and investment sector, 'baa damua' and if it's only Yorubas that can handle our education sector, 'make e be like that'

There is an extent to which quota system can work in a nation building, at least 80% should be on merit while the remaining 20% can be made to be on quota system basis.

Forget it, let's say the truth as it is. Allow merits to work. No nation ever developed with quota system

I agree with you, but then again I disagree!
The entire crop of players are not even naija born, non of them played basketball in Nigeria at any level of capacity!

So don’t make it sound like the team was selected from Nigeria!

These are boys that wanted to fly our colors in the diaspora for reasons best known to them.

So chill!

Going by your logic, our men national team should also do well now!

Also note that this d’tiger team a mostly NBA superstars

Did you notice that all the Nigerians on that team were not trained in Nigeria by Nigerians?

Those guys have spent most of their lives in America...


So be calming down... They are all a product of America still

How many on the Nigerian team are Americans? Team USA probably has Communist Chinese Tshirts, glad they lost, although only an exhibition game.

D'tigers won't lose to the USA with a wide margin again. If we meet USA again, Nigeria is most likely to win again or lose by 2 points or 3 points. Mark my words. I don't think D'tigers players are afraid of USA, Spain, France, Germany etc this time around. Cheers.
