Ignorance at its peak



Chinenye "Chiney" Ogwumike is a Nigerian-American professional women's basketball player for the Los Angeles Sparks of the Women's National Basketball Association. As of 2020, she became the first Black woman to host a national radio show for ESPN, also being the first WNBA player to do so. Wikipedia

Blame it on your typo mister. The typed was Chineye...there’s no Igbo name like that. The name is Chinenye.

Your country should be grateful that Nneka wants to play for you guys.

If not for politics, she should be in the US team.

She is a star.
So politics is playing out in your so called Saner clime too. I thought USA put merits over politics

She lost out to better players in the US.

Let her lick her wounds in silence but Nigeria will not be a second choice for anyone!

Africa who did this too us?
Some of you just take this thing too far. Kante, Pogba, Benzema, Mbappe and many others are Africans but play for France why should Nigeria abandon Nigerians born elsewhere it is not as if they are non Nigerians oo.

Leave pettiness small.

She is one of the first name on the team sheet.
And she fights for equality and female rights.

She is injured and the coach used it as an opportunity to replace her.

He don't want any big ego.

Coming from people who go around begging Nigerians abroad to come and play for Nigeria in soccer. To the point some of them have played for other countries as youths
