Na today Nigeria don dey messed up for Olympics and funny some are still trying to score political points on top sports that’s either win or lose……imagine in Olympic history Nigeria has two gold medals.

Marjoribanks:
If Yorubas do not want Igbos in their region, declare Odua nation, and call your people heading all the juicy positions in other region back home. You have just Lagos, your other States cannot even compete with Enugu/Imo. Allow us hear word abeg!

If Igbos want Biafra, pack your bags move to your region too, and bomb the Niger Bridge, no one will disturb you! You people self too like wahala!

If you all want regional government, go Abuja! Abeg o no disturb us here! Ese pupo!

It seems low self esteem personalities are championing of tribalism……I was happy seeing Hausa,Yoruba and other tribes enjoying gwon gwon dance with many doing skits with the song…..our politicians used religion,tribal and corruption to influence Nigerians….during elections you see them running to Churches,Mosques,visiting villages promising us what they failed to do when they are in power but funny people keep on voting them,citing na my brother

TheLoneCitizen:
Amoo will soon start his one-year jail term after which he will be deported and banned from Denmark for 6 years

Another Etim Esin,talent wasted for 5 minutes enjoyment and wahala

The only reform we need is government diversity from sports. I can't think of any government agency managed by civil servants in the country that is working effectively, sports won't be any different.

The only chance we have at success is for government to get out of the way and allow private money into sports. The EPL is privately run, the NBA is privately run, the NCAA which is schools sports in America is privately run. That's the way forward for sports in Nigeria.

No private individual will invest 12 Billion naira in a venture without an plans and expectations for returns. Methinks government monies are better invested in more important concerns to the Nigerian populace like health and education and if sports to infrastructural developments. Private money in football are moving into football academies and not the NPFL because many are discovering the academy to Europe pipeline and taking advantage of it.

Oga pls don’t say am sounding stupid but do you want to hear fact….parents are failing the nation,imagine sending your children to schools with no sport facilities,funny no football field to play popular sport.I have a friend who withdrew his talented son from private school to public school just cus of football field and this caused rift between him and his wife but good the boy was part of Beyond Limit boys that participated in Gothia cup.

Most kids now want to make money quickly and our entertainment industry is killing a lot of talents,trying to emulate fake life of our celebrities ….na yahoo yahoo dem dey pursue,wants to spend money like Obi Cubanas…..go to universities,NUGA game is gone cuz you see 14 and 15 years old in the universities and funny they added to their ages to meet universities age requirements.

Yes we blame government for many things but as individuals are we doing the needful

Emma Olisadebe,Seyi Olofinjana and former Nigeria Olympic Silver Medalist Bisi Afolabi are my paddies and I can testify that they made it cuz they are mature enough when they are in the university.

lovewins:
Yes I am paying attention. Line I said, it's not like he's doing anything extra ordinary, but compared to those who have come before him he's been good for sports.

He recently met with Elumelu too and trying to get billionaires in Nigeria to buy NPFL teams so the league goes totally private.

The Elumelus,Otedolas and Dangotes will never invest in NPFL cuz they are always after quick and big profits…..we just need more of Kunle Soname who understands the game very well cuz football business is not about winning alone.Just check out how Beyond Limits is cashing out

END BAD GOVERNANCE should start from from states and see maybe Nigeria leaders will not sit tight but politicians just used the protests to propagate their agendas deceiving the gullible to attack oppositions

lovewins:
There's been no chaos. Almost every sporting federation was fighting during Dalong and Sunday dares tenure.

He's been the most responsive minister and this didn't start with the Olympics.

He priorities athletes welfare. He engages them in a one to one basis.

Not sure if he will succeed, but he's pushing for reforms in the NFF particularly to expand Congress so voting for the NFF chairman isn't left to the politicians at the state FA.

He's also not limited himself to football like almost every other minister does.

Again, not saying he's the best since sliced bread, but a total departure from what we used to have.

It seems you are following the present minister bumper to bumper than many of us….good to hear he is trying to expand NFF congress to pave for credible candidates.

An advice,he need more publicity on his activities

CornOak:
Tobi Amusan is out and won't be in the FINAL.

A big blow.

Olympic complexity set in again.Tobi Amusan need first class track and field psychologist to overcome Olympic fright issues…..she should add Chioma Ajunwa to her management team cuz she did it against all odds….Respect Chioma Ajunwa.

lovewins:
To be fair, he's been the best sports minister we've had in 2 decades. He's obviously not the best we can have but this guy has been the best Sports minister in a long time.

Sports minister that I always finding it difficult to recollect his name….Dalung,Dare and present minister are clowns.

charlesemeka85:
🚨 Alhassan Yusuf is set to join MLS and sign with New England Revolution! 🔜🇺🇸

( @sachatavolieri )

🤦‍♀️

MLS again?wetin dey happen bro…reason why guys dey question our age….Awaziem too off to United States,that league na for locals and foreigners who are ending their career and want to catch America fun

xenten:
Show us what you did with money. Don't come and be playing politics here. Did you receive money? What did you do with the money? Who can attest to the fact that you did what you claim to have done with the money.

God bless you.I just don’t know why we like to leave real issues just cuz we hate or love President.

Makinde should tell us what state governors did with the funds he should stop playing politics

Covid 19 funds and world bank loan but FG acted as intermediary for the loan to be disbursed but Seyi Makinde is telling us FG is lying since it
is not directly from FG,now citizens should keep quiet or should not ask questions regarding how the monies were spent

Despite the hard time some APC state governors made sure no protest in their states and Seyi Makinde made sure no protest against FG in Oyo State but here talking nonsense.

The state governors are so comfortable with people’s rights and wealth.Imagine “end to bad governance” was targeting only FG just like we did against GEJ to the extent people forget that the state governors are receiving billions every months with no tangible development,no wonder Yahaya Bello is so comfortable residing in government house and supported by his people who are suffering to the marrow but playing ethnic politics.

Nigerians are hypocrites and always playing ethnic cards,and tribalism to justify corrupt politicians and the same thing is happening here on nairaland with people opening different accounts just to throw shade at one another forgetting the real issues…….if una like protest or not we are in it together

Marjoribanks:
Hmm! Just basic oo! Really sad!

Yes bro,all they need is support from home to excel,all of them cannot be Tobi Amusan who is extremely talented and at that Tobi still need strong support from home.

Imagine Nigeria have just two gold medals in Olympic history,meaning the issue didn’t start today

opes:
Ruth Ogbeifo should have won gold. But body weight rule went against her, after lifting the same weight with her opponent. Winner was settled using bodyweight rule which went against her

Ruth Ogbeifo Balofin was trained in Ilorin Stadium by her husband Coach Balofin and do watch her training with other weightlifters inside Ilorin indoor sports hall.She was strictly trained by her husband without support from sports ministry and went ahead to win Olympic silver medal.

Chioma Ajunwa and Ruth Ogbeifo Balofin had most of their trainings in Nigeria but well supervised by good managements led Segun Odegbami and Coach Balofin respectively,now the question why can’t our sports ministry provide real basic amenities for our athletes.

Armaggedon:
Lol
So this Rastafarian is now the one telling us what happens in our markets.

Bismarck Rewane is now Rastafarian not economist again…

Hausa:
Oh, I always thought they had.
I thought I'd heard someone saying there's a travelling route from the south west to Togo.
Maybe I didn't hear well.

Yes SW states like Lagos,Ogun and Oyo,central states Kwara and Niger,also Kebbi State,all shared boundaries with Benin Republic but funny we have more Osun State indigenes Of Ejigbo residing in Benin,Togo,Ghana and Ivory Coast.

Hausa:
Not the same.
The Jap guy has a Nigerian father and a Jap mother.

I think there's a border in Osun state that people have talked about in the past, where one can travel to Togo from or something.

Nothing different if Adekami has Ivorian mother but Nigerian parents will make it different from Chima Fujita.

Osun state did not shared border with any country.Ejigbo peoples were traders that traveled to Togo,Ghana and Ivory Coast for business from time immemorial and have established communities in these countries.

ChrisKels:
🚨🔴 Farouck Adekami has now passed the medical tests in Belgium where Royal Antwerp have beaten several clubs to the signing.

Royal Antwerp will soon announce the signing of the young Ivorian player joining from the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana.



How is Adekami an ivorian abi the name different from Adekanmi?

Possibly from Ejigbo in Osun State cuz we have large numbers of Ejigbo in Togo,Ghana and Ivory Coast,Emma Adebayour families are from Ejigbo but this should not be news cuz seeing Chima Fujita a Igbo boy captain Japanese Olympic football team says it all….Nigeria men dey try o Oga Chriskel.

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

Nneka Echikunwoke was born in states but was ready to represent Nigeria in 2020 but AFN messed things up.

Good decision for chosen her country by birth and making name for herself,really surprised she was a cousin to America actress Megalyn Echikunwoke.

Ofili finished 6th not a bad result cuz I saw her crying after the race.She is a very passionate woman who love her country despite AFN mix up…..am seeing her doing it like Tobi Amusan

joelsteron:
John Obi Mikel before Morinho's impact.
Now I see Onyedika not Iwobi stepping into this version of Mikel. If encouraged.
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMrVPkHJt/

The perfect replacement for Mikel would have been Kelechi Nwakali but his club career development failed him.I don’t see Mikel in Onyedika just like Okocha in Mikel

Plane get fault and a passenger got the guts to do the video….enough of fake news here

Troost Ekong going to Saudi Arabia?

jihday:
I like this St Lucia you mentioned, this was last year. Her government saw potential then decided to invest

What our athletes needs is support even from individuals…..Chioma Ajunwa was able to win Olympic gold cuz Segun Odegbami took over her management and supported her training programs when she was finding it difficult to get financial assistance from sports ministry

Johnweezy:
Probably because Alison is from the SE.

Jolly Nyane and Joshua Dariye are from SE also….una too dey scattering serious topic with una tribal stuff…well done o Yoruba and Igbo tribal keyboard warriors

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

TheLoneCitizen:
Never missed a single minute last season.

Alex Iwobi na player wey I no understand till date….sometimes he looks unplayable and sometimes na to just dey look am with one eye

yinkeys:
This guy is a goal scoring midfielder
Onyeka & Ndidi better improve their game this season
Help their team score a few goals

Statistically Onyedika is not a goal scoring midfielder and not better than Ndidi and Onyeka on goal scoring ratios.Yes late last season he came into the party scoring two important goals for Brugge and had a screamer for eagles just like Onyeka did too,though I love his all round display and with his age he is going to be a big hit

LagosPrince:
Be professional while at it because you already have a lot in your hands to deal with

The northerners no send you and your military men

Kai see how our nairaland Prince of Lagos dey happy

TheGoodJoe:
Very funny clip. Watch it again, and see the gaps between the scorers of the first two goals and the defenders. It is nothing short of comical.

That is why we don't have the flair we used to see. Players defend better. Guardiola made teams defend better and taught systematic play to deal with the modern defensive structures.

Young kids are now coached on how to play against complicated defenses.

Finito.

Are there no coaches to talk about on new modern football apart from Guardiola,everything is centering on him when you in particular is talking about football of today.

Die wey dem no die during Buhari…I just dey gbadun wetin dey happen now…Buhari and Tinubu are suffering from Karma and Nigerians are suffering from it….used lies pushed GEJ government away.

tlintia:
Nwike sold our votes in Rivers state for political appointment. Over 1 million votes he stole like that but thinks he can escape we told you that karma is coming! It will come o

A man stole over a million votes?meaning people mumu o….he carried gun or what?….na God go save Nigeria.

Hannania:
This is exactly the trigger I'm talking about. You guys are so blinded and low brained. You have no difference with xenophobic south Africans. Anytime we speak up, your first trigger is that anyone speaking against the nonsense The yourba people protray is an Igbo person.

The hausas and Fulanis are even better. At least they don't hate on any one. I'm glad the last election made me cut off of a lot of things. Yourba's are one of the major problems of this country. I'm ashamed to be a south westerner. Very useless bigoted people

Did I heard you saying that Hausa/Fulani don’t hate anyone?I have good Igbo friends in church road Kano and they will tell you stories that will make you cry,just take it to anywhere South Western hospitality is a top notch.

Ire Akari,Ago palace way in Isolo should tell you the real relationship between Igbo and Yoruba…..sometimes i don’t understand where una dey get all these fables to back una stories causing confusion amongst Igbo and Yoruba and funny you are hiding your personality on a faceless forum.
