she's toxic and even her aussie teammates don't like her. and yes I watched an interview with aussie team members where they categorically said she uttered racist slurs to Dtigress.

Werey , your name is Elizabeth Folake Cambage and yet you were calling your sisters monkey and telling them to go back home . Iro ni o , or should i say the irony , seeing Folake wants to hop back to the jungle . I've had a good laugh at your expense , so , i forgive you and also beg nigerians on your behalf most especially @DtigressNG to show a large heart .

iLoveYouToo:
I don’t know what she did or didn’t do, all I know is this girl just wants to play basketball. Nobody holy pass


D’Tigress’ however need to be careful before the select her because this type of player can be very disruptive and destroy team spirit

Forgiveness is important in life. But is definitely for those who are sober and not this lying bitch

The best thing Liz Cambage can do now is to come to Nigeria on holiday and set up basketball camps for young girls.

Liz has had a difficult childhood growing up being mixed race in Australia, tall, awkward and antisocial without a father figure to guide her.

She will find happiness and fulfillment in Nigeria helping young girls to fulfill their sporting potential and finding out she comes from a great country.

She still get craze sha but dat wan na small tin.

This girl would destroy our team's chemistry. She always causes problem everywhere she goes. Our women's basketball coach should not take her.

Why on earth would you want to switch sides to a team it’s members obviously don’t like you? Only a foolish coach would expect a productive game from any team were one thinks the rest are inferior. Who wan pass ball give you?

Attitudes like hers aren't just developed, they're learned. Her name is Elizabeth Folake Cambage. Her Australian mum divorced her nigerian dad when she was very young. A big question to ask her is that, what has her mum told her about Nigeria and Nigerians over the years that turned her to hate Nigerians so much? And if you check all her playing history and records, she was never in any team for more than a year at a stretch throughout her Profesional career. I believe that says a lot about the kind of attitude she possesses.

Folake don disappoint herself

Considering her background.

She has a Nigerian father that she did not grow up with. Her mother would have probably poisoned her mind with hate and she against her absent father and is just acting out those negative scripts programmed in her heart.

She needs to visit Nigeria and eat the food and make peace with her roots.

I feel her pain. For whatever reason an ( the mother may even be the one that prevented him from being there ) Absent father is extremely devastating for a girl child.

Not that it can
IT WILL DESTROY TEAM SPIRIT PLUS THE NIGERIAN MEDIA WOULD WORSHIP HER
Let her stay in Australia or wherever it is she is coming from
THAT GIRL SEEM A LOT OF BAGGAGE

Her middle name is Folake so she must be half monkey lol

If she actually called our girls black monkeys then her nigerian black father is also a monkey. Pale white skinned people feel that they are more superior humans because of their white skin anytime they call black people monkeys they should also know that they are also white monkeys.

Gfgg

tundetech5:
Nigerian players react on social media after Liz Cambage denies calling D'Tigress monkeys.

Following Australia's Liz Cambage's explosive interview with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report the Nigerian basketball social media space has been on fire.

In a lengthy interview with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report, Cambage addressed claims that she racially disparaged Nigerian players during a warm-up game for the Opals' 2021 Olympic campaign.

Cambage confirmed she had been involved in a physical incident during the warm-up game and that there "were words exchanged" before withdrawing from the Tokyo Games due to mental health issues.

The interview has brought back memories of the situation that a lot of people put in the past.

Liz Cambage's initial response to monkey speculation
When the accusation was first made was a statement by Liz CXamage that apologized to the Nigerian team.

She said, "The incident that took place in the pre-Olympic scrimmage with the Nigerian national team was handled privately almost a year ago,

"I am very disappointed and hurt by the events and accusations that have unfolded in the Australian media.

"The account of what took place is inaccurate and misleading. I did not use the racial slur toward the Nigerian team that has been circulating.

"After I unintentionally fouled a Nigerian player on court, I was then physically assaulted by this player on the sideline of my bench.

"I was hit in the face and pushed to the ground, but I walked away. ... We did not have professional referees to manage and prioritize both teams' safety during this highly physical scrimmage.

"This is not an excuse of justification to the events that unfolded or my actions, however, I feel that a full picture of the environment that led to this outcome must be shared.

" I have taken responsibility and accountability for my involvement in what occurred. I genuinely apologized to the Nigerian team and I once again am sorry that these events are being rehashed.

"I truly hope that I can move forward from this incident and apply actionable effort to be my best self."

Liz Cambage explains D'Tigress monkey chants from her perspective
Cambage spoke on her hesitation to compete at the Tokyo Olympics when asked about the claims and why her side of the story is so different.

She said, “A lot of girls don’t like me and a lot of times I say no to something, people really want to make me look like the issue.

“I never wanted to go into that Olympics. I spent the whole week going into that bubble saying I don’t want to be in the bubble.

"I’ll show you text messages between me and Sandy Brondello [saying] I do not want to go to this Olympics, I do not want to be a part of this Olympics, I do not believe in this Olympics.

“I feel like the Tokyo Olympics is everything against what the true Olympics is. Like the Olympics is about nations coming together, not weird bubbles.

"I’m not a bubble girl. I have anxiety and I need to be able to leave situations like that [snaps fingers]... there is so much pressure.

“This is the pinnacle of sport. This is the Olympics. I’m already struggling mentally and physically. I’m open and honest about everything...

“This one girl that has been saying I called them monkeys... I’ll call you a b***h. I’ll call you a dumb b***h. That’s what I say to people I get angry with,” Cambage said.

“I don’t really lean towards racial insults. That’s not how I go. I’m very pro-Black. I did not say these things. This girl that is saying all these things had a lot to say about me.

“Leak the tapes. I’ve never owned the tapes. Leak the tapes. Y’all want to see the truth, leak the tapes. Everyone in Australia that has seen the tapes, still lying about what is on these tapes, leak the tapes.”

Liz Cambage issues statement after new tape
A section of the tapes has now been revealed on social media which has sparked more wild reactions on social media.

Liz Cambage has issued a statement following the release of an additional video showing their confrontation at a pre-Tokyo Olympics scrimmage.

She denied racist slurs, though, and added that she was "pretty annoyed at all the fake news and lies.

A opposing player was elbowed in the head by Cambage during a practice match in Las Vegas that was played behind closed doors, as seen in the footage

After the altercation, the newly released video shows Cambage leaving in the direction of the Australia bench while also appearing to speak with Nigerian players nearby.

In response to what Cambage stated, a Nigerian player then rushes toward her and appears to punch her as the two teams converge.

The statement by the 31-year-old said, “In light of the circulating footage from the 2021 scrimmage between the Opals and D’Tigress, I want to provide clarity on my recollection of the events.

“Before the scrimmage, I had expressed concerns to Opals staff about the unacceptable playing conditions within the COVID ‘Bubble’ they were imposing.

"The circulating video portrays a highly physical game with no officiating, resulting in me being attacked and sustaining a concussion.

"Contrary to false claims, I did not use racial slurs or refer to anyone as a monkey, which is evident from the footage.

“To set the record straight, I never stated that I had officially joined the Nigerian national team. Instead, I expres

"I had discussions with staff members about the necessary steps to become eligible, and thought I was doing them. I extend my best wishes to all players on D’Tigress.

“My dedication to fostering positive change in the sport I love remains unwavering. I have always taken pride in representing the game throughout my career.

“I kindly urge the media and fans to fact-check before publishing and to avoid spreading unverified claims. I also send well wishes to all my former teammates. Looking forward to seeing you all on the court.

“Love and light.”

Liz Cambage claims Nigeria wants her
In the interview, a statement by Cambage that went viral was her saying the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) want her to dump Australia.

She said, “Like, why does Nigeria want me to leave Australia and represent them? We’re filing for me to leave the Australian team so I can represent Nigeria. I’ve been in cahoots, I’ve been talking with them since all of this happened.

“This is what I mean, people don’t know the truth. I honestly haven’t had one journalist that has written all these lies actually come to me and want my side of the story. There’s a whole tape with the truth out there.

D'Tigress react to Liz Cambage
Nigerian basketball players have taken to social media to debunk the statements by Cambage about the incident and her international allegiance switch.

Promise Amukamara on Twitter said, “She called us Monkeys & told us to go back to our country. Yes she said that!” wrote Amukamara.

“Literally everyone from both teams have the same story BUT her, so y’all do the math! & the only person she has been in “cahoots” w/ was the former coach of our National team & he’s no longer the coach, so there’s that!”

Sarah Ogoke a key player as D'Tigress beat Senegal to win the 2023 FIBA Women's Afrobasket also added, “We are not recruiting you and you definitely spewed racist profanities against us during our scrimmage”.

There are claims that the negotiations for Cambage to switch were made by the former coach but have been shit down since the appointment of Rena Wakama.

The saga involving Cambage is not expected to end soon as many stakeholders are expected to give their opinion going forward.

This babe is the Cristiano Ronaldo of women's basketball. You called them monkeys and told them to go back to their country.

You have seen them as winning team you want to use to lift trophy.....you just chill waiting for the former coach to name you amongst the squad....

It was when they changed coach and the new coach wasn't feeling you, you felt the urgent need to apologise and deny what you told our gals.....

See your mango head.......they better not bring this bad market to join our gals oooh, make she no go use her bad luck and her mental health issues to spoil everywhere.....

Nonsense and ingredient......

No doubt you’re among the “team foreign women” gang. 🤧

If only you could read and comprehend, that punch followed her racial slur! 🥱

JackDaAlienz:

Nigerian player punched her first
That is why she called you monkey
Una think say na lagos where u go punch person.. Nothing go happen
You punch person
The person you punch call you monkey
Now you come dey cry...fear women


Women are just like children...

I think we should try her out. She is toxic no doubt but she is a very good player. The coach should set strigent conditions for her. She should start from the bench. She is the kind of lady that will come to Nigeria and not want to leave.lol.

I don't know Liz Folake, if you're really seeing this, you need to visit Nigeria. I'm sorry to break it to you but you seem to have Daddy issues which is fueling your toxicity. A trip to Nigeria and see how gracious and friendly Nigeria is for a month or two will change your mind about all the lies your mom told you about your fatherland because she was salty that your dad left her.

I think at this point they should not invite her to play for us this type of player might be send to destroy our team afterall our team had done so well without her so what is she even coming to do?


Liz be not too worry either you said it or not keep that with you in your Australia and thank you very much. Player like could be very dangerous to team work. Thanks Liz.

Monkey calling another person monkey.

A girl with no identity calling some one with identity names

Na very toxic girl

A waste of talent

It hurts she just dey mumu

She needs help guun

Her mother is white. She said it. Anybody who read the full article needs employment immediately.

silverx:

Na she sabi

And you had to quote the whole dam.n article.

They should give her a chance to join D,tigress. She is good and has learnt her lesson. If you you don't give her the chance now, another country may.
For her to come and denies such claim, she has learnt her lesson. Start her from bench to study her.
That lady is good.

No, we don't want her in Dtigress Squad. She is bad news and can bring negativity to our team .

JOemmy:
If she actually called our girls black monkeys then her nigerian black father is also a monkey. Pale white skinned people feel that they are more superior humans because of their white skin anytime they call black people monkeys they should also know that they are also white monkeys.

Point of correction, it's not white skin it's pig skin

silverx:

Na she sabi

So you can't post without quoting the whole epistle.

JackDaAlienz:
Women are very childish babies
Very useless, always fighting each other

Nigerian player punched her first
That is why she called you monkey
Una think say na lagos where u go punch person.. Nothing go happen
You punch person
The person you punch call you monkey
Now you come dey cry...fear women

I remember when my ex vex throw her hair dryer machine, it hit my face, small nose bleed.
I come insult her, call her all sorts of names

Do you know that this girl report me to her family that i called her bastard and other hurtful names.
She no tell them say na she first throw dryer hit my face
She only told them all the bad words i called her

In this case, i support Australian babe
Nigerian girls can be witches
They can hit you with stick and see no problem but just insult her with bad words and she will start crying victim.

Women are just like children...

Your phone should be taken from you for posting stupid stuffs online.

I see homecoming happening. The NBBF can solve her identity issues by giving her a chance. I see a real desire in her wanting to identify with her roots. No one is above mistakes. Perhaps, she needs healing and such can happen if we understand her pains, let her apologize for the wrong misdeeds instead of causing more problems with the interviews and sincerely apply for a change of nationality and play for Nigeria.

I see us unleashing her in the Olympics to cause damage to opposition defenses. And trust me, that lady will die for this country if we can accept her. If the world rejects your own, do not push her back if she’s sincerely returns home for succor.
