Not partly, totally untrue.

None of these girls are rejects because none ever aspired to play for the US team. It's not like football where they waited for the US to choose them and then switched when. It wasn't going to work.

Were they skilled enough to have been considered for the US team? No. But they were never rejected cause they didn't aspire to do so. Most of these players literally joined our program out of college. Someone asked Temi Fagbenle who plays for Great Britain and the Indiana Fever why she isn't playing for Nigeria. She said she actually reached out and wanted to but nobody responded.

I think the player you're trying to remember is Musa.

Expected result. No team can beat the US.
It was a mission impossible from the start.
Kudos to the girls and the coach Wakama

MT:


That was why i said from "primary school" - catch them young

elyte89:



That was unnecessary though 😎

MT:
The Nigeria coach tried. Her service should be retained.

Most of our schools dont have basketball courts. We dont have any coach too in both primary and secondary schools.

There are local girls that could be inspired to start early but they dont even have electricity or cable to watch.

So frustrating

Marjoribanks:
It wasn't a callous decision. That is exactly my point. It was taken in her best interest and that of the nation. Should she have been carried along, absolutely! If she wasn't why? There is a reason to that, and Favour herself knows.

The Olympic error was a grave mistake that shouldn't have happened, but after that the federation has been accountable.
Stood by Tobi and fought tooth and nail for her during her trying times. Tobi now knows better!

Talou got injured running the 100m and missed the 200m. Shericka, Pryse etc did not even participate. Did they die? There are ways to handle things! Peace brother!

Joebie:
What story is not true? You really think Herve will come down on his salary demand? Herve knows his worth. He has never taken Naija seriously.

Omoawoke:


Please try space the flags, everything joined together and caused confusion

Ppogbae:


She is already based at LSU so it's possible

AndSunGorilla:

Ofili wouldbhave an easier pass with maybe Qatar, UAE or Bahrain or Canada,Spain and Portugal. Too many athletes dey worry US.

Ppogbae:
Damn. I don't blame Ofili if she follows suit...

It's baffling how many Nigerians do not understand State Symbols.

The first picture is the Defense flag. It is the flag of the Nigerian Armed Forces. It is displayed in functions that involve the entire armed forces. Secondly it serves as the flag of the defence chief, used to mark where the defense chief exercises command

The second picture is called the Presidential Standard or the Flag of the President. It is used to mark a physical location where the president exercises authority and command. It flies at Aso villa and also wherever the president may be present physically. Often when the president is out of the villa. The flag is taken down and replaced with a regular Nigerian flag. By protocol the flag should not fly where the president is not around.

The third is a regular Russian Federation flag

TikiTaka don land for NPFL….Heartland unveils Emma Amunike as coach

Bleiz:
What about hotels and other businesses that fly foreign flags in Nigeria?

Marjoribanks:
OFILI IT IS! STRAIGHT TO FINAL! WE ARE GETTING THE GOLD!
THE 110 HURDLES WILL BE THE MOST UNPREDICTABLE EVENT! ANYONE COULD WIN IT.

NOT RULING TOBI OUT. HOWEVER, OFILI IS OUR MOST PROMISING GOLD MEDAL PROSPECT!

Ppogbae:


Unlucky. Team USA dominated pool stage and barring France, are heads and shoulders above the rest of the field. All the best to the girls.

PDPGuy:


I’m holding out on a slim hope of an upset. But if that doesn’t happen, I won’t be too disappointed either

Mujtahida:



This is what good local content coach can do. Yori Yori basketball to the world!

My client is eager to replicate this for the Super Eagles. All he's asking for is the opportunity.

Marjoribanks:
Of course, they are, however, they can only exercise that right when they reside in the United States territory-- That sums it up. PR is not US territory but a colonized State.

I do think it is because of geography. Hawaii and Alaska geographically falls within the Union of the States while PR is a separate island that can be accessed outside US control!

Ps- Just my thought/observation

On the subject

1. First, the IOC is the body responsible for determining which nations can participate in the Olympics and they have their own metrics for determining what counts as a "nation". So entities like Puerto Rico, Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), Hong Kong, and much recently Palestine are recognised as Nations by the IOC. The bar is a totally different for organizations like FIFA as these entities are in themselves not nations but territories of larger body.

Marjoribanks:
I am not discarding your point! The point still remains it is not part of the United States yet so it is independent! It is all an oxymoron! Wanted unwanted!
Puerto R wants to be part while Taiwan doesn't! US refuse! China wants to enforce! Same thing, different logic!

chiiraq802:
I support the protesters with 63 kilograms of Canadian Loud. chase those terrorists bk to there mother land.

In there respective countries they are been treated like animals they're, but when they're lucky to be in countries that somehow respect human rights. they try to cause problems and bring there nonsense religious extremism to that country.

PDPGuy:
Wining that 3rd quarter 23-5 certainly dismantled the Canadians.

And that 3rd quarter result is the best ever for a Nigerian basketball team (male or female) at the Olympics

BascoVanVeli:
Okay I got a new plan. Give Ezinne Kalu the ball and get out of her way. They can't do anything thing with that lady right now. It's like watching Chennedy Carter in the WNBA.

Marjoribanks:
It is an independent country though USA claims it. Unlike Britain! Just like China do claim Taiwan!

Marjoribanks:
"At the World Cup"

daveP:
We'll need something close to national budget to successfully plan, prepare and end if we win bid. Billions of dollars. If they have sense, that event, theoretically, can singlehandedly revive the dead tourism sector. But na big dream wey dey run pass Flash. Who wan chase am?
