lovewins: They are all Nigerian citizens. They can't professionally represent us without being citizens. Maybe what you meant to say was that they hold dual citizenship.
Let me add some color for you. When a Nigerian is labelled as having non-Nigerian citizenship, I mean they hold passports of other countries also. Maybe I should have used a word you're more familiar with, dual citizenship.
carbonado: ... absolutely,there refused to invite Vicky, however,still not go after Michaela and Kiki...it is well..
Don't forget Chidera Odom (still playing professionally AND under 30 years old) that withdrew from the team early last year due to repeated unprofessionalism from NBBF that she refuses to continually tolerate. Most of these women hold non-Nigerian citizenship...
Nonetheless, they made it to the Olympics as one of only 12 qualifiers in the world. They earned it and should enjoy it. 3 losses and out should be expected just like the last time.
2022 was primed for those girls to announce themselves at the world stage but Nigeria happened to them. Amy, Pallas, Musa, Nicole and Sarah who are starters now were all bench players in the last team.
Very important to note that Michaela wants to represent Nigeria, there's no disputing that. Not sure what happened this time but her reluctance to represent isn't the reason.
And yes, you're right about Tspoon. She's new at the job and still learning. She had to be bullied to start Chennedy. Michaela is definitely starting now with Marina traded to the suns.
Our game is 4pm Nigerian time. Will post a link once it starts.
Not sure why this is hard for you. I put a quote up there from NBBF saying they are speaking with her and she will be on the Olympic roster. She then comes out and categorically states she will not be representing Nigeria at the Olympics on social media. Nevertheless, you believe she was prevented as opposed to politely declining based on events thus far. Accept it that she declined the invitation.
MYMINDER: Michaela never said she was interested in playing for Nigeria. That's the assumption you're making. Because she has a Nigerian name and acknowledges her heritage, is different from wanting to represent the country.
Quote for you "We have been talking to Michaela and she will be on our roster to the Olympics," NBBF vice-president Babs Ogunade told ESPN.
She has not spoken about her international representation as yet, but she has never shied away from speaking about her Nigerian roots
carbonado: ....someone not going to a tournament actually means, things got fumbled, especially, when you know the history of the people that are suppose to talk to the player,....NBBF are the biggest fumblers that could ever be....No be today..
Michaela never said she was interested in playing for Nigeria. That's the assumption you're making. Because she has a Nigerian name and acknowledges her heritage, is different from wanting to represent the country.
carbonado: ....well well, now we know, sad much, N.B.B.F fumbled again and again and again...no Kiki, no Micheala.....Already looking like a repeat of last olympics...0 in 3, as we would be going to the olympics with a much weaker squad than we had in 2021, ....to compete at this level, you have to come with the best you have, i honestly believe, we can do better than what we are doing at the moment. It seems the people in NBBF just see these games as childs play, hence their usual lackadaisical approach to things.
Someone not going for a tournament doesn't mean anything got fumbled. People make decisions/demands. Being invited doesn't mean you will accept. I (on paper) don't see anything that implies the last team that wasn't competitive in the 3 Olympic games is better than this one. Chidera Odom that quit the team last year (still active in basketball) will be missed.
Michaela hasn't played a minute over the past 5 games approximately for Chicago Sky. She is out of favor and has little offensive efficiency; though very energetic on the floor.
psucc: When Buhari started it you didn't make any observation let alone comment. Now, that's é mi lé káñ, you are forming pro-Nigeria. It's just started.
You deem your comment sensible? Discuss the issue. I forgot, you have no issue with wrong things. How you make your bed or allow it to be made on your behalf, is how you will lie on it.
The Nigerian president argued his academic records should not be released because they fell under a 1974 privacy law for American students.
Tinubu is protected by the 1974 privacy law for students who schooled in the USA.
Chicago state university confirmed the president of Nigeria attended and graduated with distinction and he also presented his BSc to INEC as his highest qualification while obi presented his GCE result as his highest qualification.
I hope Tinubu will get you to heaven. I remain doubtful. Keep worshipping him.
Diligent1: The way Obi supporters especially the igbos are going about destroying the name of Tinubu and any popular person who supported Tinubu is getting out of hands.
I will advice president Tinubu to order the agency in charge of information to arrest and prosecute anybody that spreads fake news.
That Tinubu won the election is making them crazy and they cannot get over it, they are bent on destroying Nigeria, the government should take action immediately.
Obi supporters are losing their minds.
Nigeria fits evil people like you that don't want a better country. All you want is more of the same. Your time on earth is limited. Use it to sow good seeds.
Dittodat: Lol Pandora pathological liar Obi and Otti are next. The IPOB religious fanatical liar is a gonna MOFO will be disqualified and disgraced very soon. Instead of the loser to take his loss in good faith, MOFO is going around claiming that he lost his transgender manhood
Zxcvbnmghtr: There can never ever be a re-run,run. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that suggest the slightest reason for a re-run in the cases presented at the Presidential tribunal.
Lawyers have only succeeded in making themselves richer from milking Obi and Atiku for not being wise.
Keep doing the devil's work online. Success without a conscience is foolhardy. Your time on earth is limited. Ask yourself: What do I truly stand for? What is my purpose here on earth? Am I willing to append my first and last name to what I have written on Nairaland.com? Seek wisdom and you shall find it. Safe journey
IconicR: Jonathan, his Ministers and Buhari killed Nigeria and now Asiwaju is carrying the load alone 😢 and trying so sad to make Nigeria work again yet some few set of people are just spewing trash all over social media. Learn to solve problems from the root if you want a lasting result. This woman and others are the root cause of the problems we face today in our country. May God help Asiwaju to solve the problems
God shall never be mocked! His words, not mine. No human will get you to the land of Heaven after death. You have to help yourself. Decide what is REALLY important. Seek Wisdom. Shalom!
papiwyte: Handwork of Obi supporters creating unnecessary pressure...
Obi will remain a loser
Keep suffering in Nigeria. You refuse to be useful to the world you live in positively. One day you will die. Ask yourself what did you stand for as a human being. Lawlessness over lawfulness?
SOSinNigeria: Why should we believe anonymous sources on a very critical issue like this? If this is fake, don't you think Justice Ugo or someone representing him made a rebuttal since it went viral?
Appeal court will always claim it's false to save face, even if they know it's 100% correct.
Only people that can't reason logically will believe you.
In your myopic mind you believe someone's job is now to respond to every comment by every anonymous person on the internet? Raise your mind from the ashes of illogical thoughts.
Psalm125: Please if anybody can help me with any little amount to cook something to eat I will be very happy. Feeding is a big problem for me and my family please no matter how small. I havent eaten anything since yesterday in the morning pls. My dad is a retired teacher and my mom is late. Am a single mother with my own son mouth to feed, the little money i make have use it to cater for my dad illness and pay house rent but his health is getting worst. Now we can't even eat or buy water to drink. Please if you're reading this message pls come to our aid, no matter how small it will go a long way pls. May God meet you at the point of your need as you have show us mercy amen
So this is now a business? Instead of rising above you turn this into a permanent attempt at income generation with twisted tales from your library of poignant stories.
Nvestor02: Lol, this is nothing but wasted effort.
Peter obi is so desperate to lead Nigeria. I always know that this man has a hidden agenda.
Is by force to rule Nigeria? Nobody steal his manHOOD.... En no even get manhood in the first place.
Agent of darkeness, no wonder he always wear black cloths every time.
Keep working hard for Lucifer! It's not by force but someone said EMI Lokan! Whom the gods want to destroy, they first make mad. Keep deceiving yourself
You have no clue aw to how and WHEN God will act. I am sure when God acts you will refuse to acknowledge it. I am sure you will seek out some human beings that you have dislike for and point fingers. I am sure you will not blame Lucifer. HE IS RULING NIGERIA AT THE MOMENT as more and more Nigerians carry out acts of malice, lies, hate, killing, stealing and deception. The day of reckoning is coming. I am sure you will not be ready. To everyone: Do not get too comfortable with TODAY; you don't know what TOMORROW will bring.
N3TRAL: I have never seen or heard of a more deluded organisation of people than those who genuinely believe that Tinubu will not be president for the next 4 years.
HEAR ME LOUD AND CLEAR:
The only force majeure that can make Tinubu not to serve as president till 2027 can only be an ACT of GOD.
Nigeria is going to break up sooner rather than later at this rate. This is how the civil war started many years for most of you that only read books about it. Better for all to embrace it. This is evil at its highest point.
You need Jesus! I doubt you will accept. Your conscience is seared and blackened as you continue to remain comfortable being UNCOMFORTABLE as long as you believe you are scoring tribal victories over your chosen enemy. Light will always overcome darkness. Nigeria is dark now and may even get darker with evil people in power and their henchmen on the internet and in real life doing their bidding. When the light finally shines to liberate the country from the shackles of evil, I hope your tears will be of joy rather than the expected pain. That light is not found in one person. It is found in the multitude of people at the bottom who want a truly better life where things function. What is the legacy of your life? The below? Sad!
Look dear Igbos, I'm tired of this our back and forth. We don't have that appetite for constant dragging you so wield.
First off, listen, no one stole your mandate. Obi came distant third. Nigeria is a multicultural society and so multipronged effort is needed to be its custodian. Tinubu was the only candidate who successfully did this, as also reflected in the results. He never ruled your state prior, to have warranted this hate you've spread to the rest of the tribe. In fact, he ushered you lot into his government, as a Lagos governor.
In related light, I say, on Yoruba's behalf, we're sorry, if you think we wrong you, although undue, but necessary. This is to bury hatchet and maybe to keep your belligerence in check. A typical Yoruba just want to be happy, live well, grow and do faaji. We're tired and can't match your combative energy, so we concede. We want to go back to peace abeg, evidence is how we always marry your women and treat them well, and provide you with profitable environment in our lands. We no get wahala. Stop to dey bring am give us.
Make una biko please allow the next four years to be calm abeg.
Tinubuwins2023e: Igbo man can NEVER be a governor in Lagos or any yoruba land. The earlier igbos understand this and stop that nonsense they are planning to do this weekend, the better. A vote for GRV is a vote for an igbo man to be the governor of Lagos state and we will not allow that to happen. Igbos cannot impose an igboman on Yorubas. Ko le work
You need Jesus! Make hay while the sun shines. Love is God and God is Love. Hate is Lucifer. Apply Wisdom
undisputedKOC: It was obviously a terror attack by the IPOB Zombidiot driver who intentionally committed terrorism to murder innocent Yoruba people. Every Zombiot Peter Obituary terrorists supporters must be flushed out of the Lagos civil service. This bastard Igbo Zombidiot driver that killed the bus victims must be bombed to ashes for crimes against humanity
You need Jesus! Know this and know peace, Seek and you shall find him.
computer0810: B4 d end of dis year nobody go remember obi again😂😂😂
You should be bothered about your soul and when you lost your sense of right and wrong with a conscious that has been blackened. Those that sow evil will reap it.
