At least these ones choose Nigeria, we have Yoruba basket players in the NBA who choose allegiance to other countries. This bigotry will sink us further

There are about 6 Yorubas in the NBA, only four have pledged their allegiance to another country. Miye Oni pledged his to Nigeria, Semi Ojeleye is yet to, I think

mumu oshi, the prestige u're enjoying today in the world of sports is because of Igbos.

say we win atlantic olympics 96 na Igbos..if it that easy they should flood yorubas in either football or basketball tournament let see if the coneheads will win a trophy more or less pass the group stage.
They wouldn't even qualify pass the preliminary

I'm not happy about their elimination at all. This is a shame. But imagine this basketball team was dominated by another ethnic group! Imagine what the Igbos would be saying now if the team had like 90% Yorubas then end up putting out these utterly mediocre performances?

Tbh, I know all Nigerian ethnic groups well to infer this. If it was Yoruba that dominated this team or any Southern tribe, Igbos wouldn't have spoken any ill. But if it was the Hausa-Fulani, then it will be war!

It was a mixed relay comprising of 2 males and 2 females. So we chose a female athlete for our last leg while other team used male as their last leg. That was why the last leg performance of the relay was awful.

A very foolish decision.... they think Olympics is inter-house sports... that tactics was very foolish and Nigeria were the only ones that used that tactics...them think say others na mumu

Bro, tbh, that's you people problem! You brag a lot! Though I don't support anybody castigating Igbos due to Igbos immense contribution in Nigerian sports from Ifeajuna to Ajunwa to Papilo, etc. Why should you even be mentioning ethnicities? The Nigerian table tennis team dominated by Yorubas crashed out of this same Olympics, yet did you see anybody insult Yorubas? No! Because they didn't brag beforehand. Bragging is foolishness!

Victor Oladipo pledged to the USA.

u make it sound as if it's something new they are doing, they have always been like that, IMO they are the most tribalistic ethnic group in Nigeria, so it's not something new, but why join them in it? Like they always say two wrongs don't make a right. So the team lost now and they shift blame to buhari and the government, are they doing anything different from what they have always done?
Go back to your godforsaken shattered hut or go stand on the road and wait for the next dangote or BUA truck going to the north.

That you're playing for USA does not make you good. Both Bam Adebayo and Victor Oladipo who pledged their allegiance to another country, do not have what our own Jordan Nwora has. He has an NBA title to his name!

Nigeria stupid
If you check the records, the males on the team are faster than the females, so why use a female for last lap when it's supposed to be the best of the 4 that runs last

Actually it was not foolish

The idea was to get the males to produce a strong enough lead so that the female anchor won't have to do much work.

Sadly it did not work out as planned, but for half of the final lap it looked like it was working. The male athletes from other countries had to do the work to beat the lead establised by our guys in earlier legs.

(And this is a new event, which we don't have much experience in. )
Re: Tokyo2020 Male Basketball: Nigeria Loses To Italy 71 - 80 by Boudiccao: 9:37am On Jul 31, 2021
And some people are just happy that team was defeated because the boys are mainly Igbos.

It says so much about how tribalism and bigotry has destroyed Nigeria. How can people even mock this self funded team just because they are Igbos especially when your inept govt is not invested in sports development like other nations around the world.

Divide this shithole!! Igbo phobia is what is holding you all back.
