We still have a long way to go with sports development...so any medals won while nice, still does not mean all is well.

Apart from football, sports development in Nigeria is abysmal. Always has been. We have to raise talent, have to raise funding, have to raise expertise. We need more and more and more people playing a variety of sports.

This is where the state governments come in. Sports development should start at the grassroot level. That's how they do it in the USA and Jamaica.
