OLYMPIC Basketball: Nigeria looses third straight game, beaten 87-96 by Spain (PHOTOS)
Considered to be the Group of Death which consists of World powers in Basketball (such as Croatia, Spain and Lithuania) Nigeria are yet to win a single match in Group B at the ongoing Olympic Men's basketball in Rio. On Thursday night they yet again narrowly missed out in staging a famous upset against Spain but have to wait a little longer for their first 2016 Olympic win as they narrowly lost 96-87 in their third game. Nigeria occupies the bottom table of the group and still have to play tough opponents; Brazil and Croatia in their next matches.

BREAKING: Nigerian Aruna Quadri sent packing by World No.1 Chinese Ma Long
Aruna Quadri’s hopes of winning Nigeria and Africa’s first men’s singles table tennis Olympic Medal were dashed here at Rio 2016 on Tuesday night at the Riocetnro Pavilion 3.

The Nigerian star had stopped some big names on his way to the quarter-finals, but reaching the semi-finals became a step too far as he came up against world No.1 Ma Long on Tuesday. The Chinese superstar was too quick and too sharp for Quadri, beating the Nigerian in four sets.

The match ended 11-4, 11-2, 11-6, 11-7 and was quickly over in just 28 minutes.

Congrats to Quadri for making us proud

Emeka71:
She is definitely going to win gold.

Yes I strongly agree with you. It might interest you to know that she is the one sponsoring herself (not a dime from so-called Nigerian Sports Ministry)

repogirl:
He should write his apology on a piece of paper and clean his arse with it. Can't believe that person is a minister sef. Is that really the sports minister? Because I still don't believe he is.

Sorry to say but the way he spoke was so insincere, very sluggish and annoying, like he is slow or something. I don't even know who the people were that were clapping sef, probably psychophants from the sports ministry.

He purposefully set the boys up to fail and if they had failed, he would have blamed the coach and sacked him.

Gosh !

Babe I know you dey vex...all of us are angry too...but he is just a human being not God

Okay?

Funjosh:
Is that how to apologise, he is not kneeling or prostating

Haba!!! I know he derves every but Make una take am easy nah

71' Nigeria bring in a defender Kingsley Madu for a midfielder Usman Muhammed as they try to keep the Japanese at bay in this one.



71'Japan have smelt blood and they are back into the game, they are looking inspired after that Asano goal and troubling the Nigeria defence with zest.

Which station are you watching the match live?

benji93:
Changes please, bring in some freshness and energy

Where are you watching the match, DSTV or Startimes?

Our defence is weak ooo

Some athletes who are to represent Nigeria in track and field events at the Olympics have been begging for financial support. They launched GoFundme account to raise money from the public. Is this a shame to Nigeria and her government?
