The more talents u produce the higher the chances of medals. Simple game of numbers. Abi did I say Nigeria have never won medals in the Olympics?

Do you have a problem with UK residents? Guy you are just troubled. Always looking for people to label and make enemies.

If you want to believe we are not lagging behind, fine. But no abuse people that are just speaking facts.

Marjoribanks:
You can keep ranting, but you'll never be taken seriously. Doesn't ranting ever tire you out?

We had two under-23 boys in the Olympic 100m semifinals, one each in the 200m and 400m semifinals, one girl in the 100m final, and three in the long jump finals. And several others!Most of them are homegrown athletes, yet you're still complaining. The most by any African country! Keep crying, soogbo!

The bolded is the crux of the matter. I knew it all along.

Marjoribanks:
Keep your peace! Otellectual no go ever gree until you say God punish Tinubu!

Why does it even matter where I am. Can’t we engage ourselves without the labelling. Can’t we be objective for once? Once u think someone is not on your “side” you want to go against every thing they say. That’s childish.

forgiveness:
Na US Joe dey.

Your problem is you are always busy people- labeling. You can’t do that and sound intelligent at the same time.

.

Marjoribanks:
You can contest! What is stopping you Mr intellectual?

What’s is the meaning of policy? Oya explain since u think u are teaching me something new.

Dude you are just rambling. Take note how you opened this discussion. What did I say and what are u busy trying to disprove?

If investors are hesitant to invest who do you blame?

lovewins:
No one is absolving government of responsibility, if you read my post carefully I said as much. The crux of mt my argument is even with good administrators and policy backup there's little we can achieve because Nigeria sadly isn't rich enough to fund sports. It is why my advocacy is for government to completely handsoff sports in Nigeria.

So my argument isn't for more government policies but just one policy, which is government divesting from sports.

Also, the private sector in Nigeria is well equipped to fund sporting events in Nigeria. The only reason they won't right now is because there's little or no return on investments when they partner with any sporting brand. Government divesting totally from telecommunications and entertainment is what led to the boost we've seen in both industries. BB naija which is just a program here more sponsorship yearly than Nigeria's biggest sporting brand the Super Eagles and all their money comes from the private sector.

This was a subtle jab to someone who said I came from a rat hole lol. And dude did not even get it. Mugu go dey call person mugu.

AndSunGorilla:
You people should share now, if na women cause the wahala, there's love in sharing .

This boy is a fool. What’s this talk about UK sef?

If we cannot tell ourselves the truth we cannot move forward as a nation.

Marjoribanks:
Exactly! People like YOU! Anything to hate on the country!
If you don't like the country dey your dey and stop the negativity all the time.

Or you can join the far-right in your UK to help them get their country back! lol! Rest abeg!

Champions may be polished in the US. But who makes policies to discover them?

This wasn’t suppose to be an argument. He wrote a whole lot which still points back to government. It’s either you are playing dumb or plain dumb. Dude how old are u sef?

Marjoribanks:
Facto! Apt in BankyGee's voice!

Your last paragraph is the koko!
Most recent Olympic winners are trained in US Universities just like our athletes too. Even the European Athletes bar few!

When people hear “4 years” their thing go stand. Olympics na every 8 years ni? Politics don make people lose their brains.🧠

Dude, government policies determines if the private sector will thrive or not. This is very basic

I wanted to comment on this earlier today but decided against it. It's obvious many do not even understand the problems they want to solve. Let's get this out of the way, our administrators are bad, ineffectiveness and everything in-between and maybe we can attain a little more success if they fix up, but that isn't the problem.

The truth is Nigeria is not rich enough to fund sports or prepare athletes for the Olympics. . It takes an average of $100k yearly to prepare a gymnast for the Olympics and for other sports ranges from 20-50k$ yearly for each athletes. This is the cost implicationin societies with already established facilities. We just can't measure up. Also, most of the funding for these countries come from sponsors and private organisations. They shoulder the responsibility of financing sports.

The truth is Nigeria has a better chance at medalling at the the Olympics if Government gets out of Sports administration completely. That way civil servants will know there's no free money to feast on and it opens up sports associations for more equipped people who can sell the business to take charge.

On the alternate, we can spend more identifying future talents void of sentiments and nepotism, then find a way to get them highschool/college scholarships in the US so US can train them for us. That's what we've been doing the last few years anyways.

GBR (though I’m not based there) has a total of 42 medals so far in Paris. 12 gold medals. Dude I don’t just know what to say to u.

Mod
Compared to Naija that has won a total of 27 medals in the history of Olympics

Marjoribanks:
You guys are so funny! The reason we keep lagging behind is cause you all think govt has to do everything for you all.

Most of our Athletes are based in the United States. So why do you all like crying

How many Athletic medal has your UK won? You always come out from your rat hole to spread bad news!

Only you said most of our athletes are based in the US, and at the same time you are making this submission.

I think your problem is that you think I’m blaming this current government. What has Nigeria achieved in the history of Olympics?, you tell me why we never win a good number of medals. Let me hear ur wise take then. Waiting

We go cry the same cry in 4 years time. Na today?

Ppogbae:
It's wild. So many of our athletes fell short of reaching in the finals or medalling in Track and Field. If the government did the bare minimum in terms of planning and providing resources, our medal yield would be so much higher. These things premised on careful planning and investment. It's not run and inshallah.

Ovie Ejiaria-> Oxford United?

Gift Orban with a brace today for Lyon vs Union Berlin

You can get that from other sources like CompleteSports. Everyone and their Niche.me when no like to read more of anything NOT directly or indirectly related to our national football teams

DeeScan:
his sport news doesn't go global .. it's just based on Nigeria ...


I thought I could make it my only sport news outlet after seeing you guys review here .. Tell the owners to Include news from outside of Nigeria too .. maybe then I'd be a fan .

Thank you! 🙏

TheSuperNerd:
I agree to a good extent. I know the guy, Samm Audu. We follow each other on twitter/X and his site is better and more news relevant than OGN, ANS and the likes. Not all perfect though but a lot better.

I said they are the best, not that they are perfect.

Odunayaw:
I didn't know you like hearsay by "top team source"

Carry on

And u have confirmed it’s a lie. Other examples? Abi which of them be ur best?

Odunayaw:
The same peddlers of "Finidi doesn't like me[Lookman]" and the Osimhen story?

Order for salt as you take their reportage

If Saintfiet was available to be interviewed then he has a pathway for dumping the Philippines. I prefer him because he firmly believes in Nigeria and loves the SE.

comodo:
So after all the noise its only Chelle and Saintflet . Among the 2 Chelle is d feasible option. The other is attached to Philippines. Anyhow make dem name somebody.

I want to say ScoreNigeria is the best football site we have. They are very much on poInt with relevant news and analysis

I like Saintfiet for the fact that he believes Nigeria should have exceeded Morocco’s achievement T the WC long. Big dreams. The first thing is to believe. But does he have what it takes?

Kikikiki

If we no qualify now and dem call u mofo, u go like am? We’ve always had better players than all the teams in our group from Round 1 of the qualifiers. I wait to see the needed change before I start to get hope.

charlesemeka85:
I have faith that we will qualify

Na mofos wey no sabi anything no dey believe say we get quality players doing well in top leagues but our major problem na getting the right coach

Na prayer u dey pray. Nothing do u. But if u want dragging if e no happen as u talk, I go dey here. But first things first, I wan see the coach we go employ.

Marjoribanks:
In two years, Nigeria would have Superstars across the length of Europe.

I remember few years ago when I said football academy is the new oil.
Expect more academies popping up pretty soon.

We will qualify for 2026 World Cup and win next AFCON!

Mark this post!

Komekn still come chop o

charlesemeka85:

🔵🦊 Wilfred Ndidi’s contract extension revealed two days ago is now official.

Deal until June 2027 at #LCFC. ⤵️🇳🇬

There will always be changes. There is absolutely nothing we can do about it. Even your parents and the ones before them have cried the same cries.

Mujtahida:
We are talking about football. If football dies, which Super Eagles will you watch? Anything that diminishes the game affects football whether national or league football. Tiki taka is a creeping poison. It's seeped through the pore of the game and it's killing it slowly. We won't wait until the gangrene has become irremediable.

He pen go rest if nobody dey start this kind argument

do4luv14:
Oshare direct that question to Oga blue font

happy Sunday Sir

Of what good is it if we argue tiki taka till tomorrow when e no get connection with SE? SE no go ever play tiki taka

As much as Holand is jinxed, na dem I support
