A40: Will they even want to deal with our drama? Because I can't in good faith push for anyone to represent such a disorganized entity like Nigeria and it's sports bodies I get your point. But to be fair, the NBBF is among the best if not the best-run Nigerian sports federation. I’m impressed by how they’ve gone about organizing training camps for the national teams, and hiring competent coaches. Besides, we do not hear the usual stories of players being owed bonuses or appearance fees. |

Its about how big money is being used to usher in a new Great Reset as World Economic Forum hopes.They hate Trump because he stood in their way, Biden is implementing some sinister agenda. One step at a time, finally you will not have a voice and your vote will never be needed.

You don't see the big picture.The narrative has been set. This is the official position. All of you must accept it. Else we shall force you. You don't see how money influences politics Big donors give money in return for favors from politicians. The politicians you support blindly only care for their stomachs, nothing about say #metoo. A lot of older norms been changed by liberal thinking and donor money. Eg wedding between gays, no promotion of religion by states( try that with arabs) .There is the issue being forced down our throat ie more than two genders. We have to accept the new truth by force .Laws will be passed by our spineless political class. COVID-19 vaccines being mandatory will "trend".

But now that corporate money in politics favors Democratic causes, y’all are now crying foul. |

chrisooblog: Have to say I'm impressed with the performance and professionalism of the Nigerian basketball federation. Just doing their work efficiently no hassles no distractions. Got competent coaches for the national teams. Arranged adequate camps and quality exhibition games. Got players to switch nationality without any noise making or media speculation. All this without having i doubt one-tenth of money federations like NFF handle. One of the best run Nigerian sporting federations by a mile . I 100% agree with you. |

chrisooblog: With the release of the Nigerian roster for the Olympics how realistic are the D'Tigers chances? Is medaling a fantasy or a possibility. What happened to the Al-Faruq brothers? Medaling, for now, is merely an aspiration.. I would say the team would do well in reaching the quarterfinals; anything more is a bonus |
Sports › Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by PDPGuy: 7:09pm On Jul 08, 2021 |
It’s best for the new players to be called up now, instead of calling them up weeks to the World Cup.
Between now and the Nations cup, Waldrum should continue to experiment with diff tactics/strategies, but should have a settled starting 11 a month before the Nations cup in order for the team play to be as cohesive as possible. |

benji93: If they get clearance na to watch our women play at the Olympics be that ooo. Perhaps that changes our fortune in that group. I just don't like the fact that if they do star, Nigeria would just be a rebound.  I feel you on the “rebound” issue, although the two older sisters were good enough to represent Team USA. It must also be crushing to the other ladies in the D’Tigress camp who had hopes of making the team, but will certainly be dropped for Nneka and Chiney. |

Sports › Explained: Nneka Ogwumike Eligibility To Play For D’tigress by PDPGuy(op): 2:52pm On Jul 08, 2021 |
When The Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) announced that Nneka Ogwumike alongside Chiney will be among the 15 man provisional list for the D’tigress of Nigeria, Many Nigerians began to wonder how that materialized, as Nneka previously represented team USA in various competitions.
In this article, Ojbsports Kenny Bamidele examines article 3-37 of FIBA rules, talking about Transfer Procedure – Duties of Member Federations.
FIBA states that, when a National team gets a request for a license from a player who was previously licensed with another federation, it must obtain a letter of clearance on behalf of the player from FIBA.
“Whenever a national member federation receives a request for a license for any player who was licensed previously by another national federation, before granting such a license in accordance with its own regulations, it must obtain a letter of clearance on behalf of the player concerned.”
With these rules stated above, all Nneka is waiting for right now is a clearance from FIBA, which should happen before the Mundial kick-starts.
Meanwhile there is more to it. A clearance must be obtained from the player’s last federation before he/she will be given another license for another member federation. That was why Nneka contacted USA Basketball and told them she was interested in pursuing a chance to play with Nigeria. With reports, the United State of America Basketball has released the duo of Nneka and Chiney, which was required since both previously have competed for the United States in FIBA-sanctioned events.
“A letter of clearance must be obtained from the national member federation where a player was last licensed before he can be licensed by another member federation. A copy of each letter of clearance must be sent (also by email) to FIBA. This document certifies that the player concerned is free to be licensed by another member federation.”
It must be noted that if these players have done that after reaching their 17th birthday, they will not be allowed to play for a different country in a FIBA event. However, according to FIBA’s regulations on player eligibility, the organization’s secretary general may authorize a player to compete for the national team of his or her country of origin if this is in the interest of the growth of basketball in that country. And one of the pillars of FIBA is placing priority on the growth of women’s basketball worldwide, which could favor the decision for Nneka and Chiney getting to play for Nigeria.
On the other hand the youngest of the trio, Erica Ogwumike committed to playing for Nigerian team last year, as she has never played for Team USA in a FIBA-sanctioned event. Executive producer for 144, Chiney Ogwumike weighed the possibility of representing Nigeria about two months ago.
The truth about this matter is that, a lot has been said as to Nneka Ogwumike eligibility to play for Nigeria, but as things stands, her decision is not unruly. https://ojbsport.com/2021/07/07/explained-nneka-ogwumike-eligibility-to-play-for-dtigress/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Redman44: . I am not happy about this development. The NBBF should not support this last minute hustle to play for Nigeria by Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike. It will lead to a lot of confusion in the Dtigress squad. So the likes of Victoria Macaulay and ify ibekwe will make way for Nneka? It is too late in the day for this. Nneka Ogwumike should have declared for Nigeria since 2019. Not now when she has been dropped by the USA. I share a bit of your sentiment. It will certainly look “unfair” to some of the other players, who had been part of D’Tigress set-up for years, to be suddenly dropped at the last moment for two players who would have only joined the team two weeks/a week to the Olympics… But Coach Hughley has the mandate of the NBBF to ensure that every eligible player is given a chance to show whether they can represent Nigeria at international tournaments. So, if the Nneka sisters are good enough and better than their peers in similar positions (which I think they are), then the coach has no other option than to choose them for the Olympics… Moreover, the inclusion of both Chiney and Nneka means that D’Tigress will win the next 3-4 Women Afrobasket titles cos even the likes of Senegal and Mali will suffer no less than 20/25-point losses to Nigeria  |

Well, this article says Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike are still awaiting clearance from FIBA before they don the Green-white-green… Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the approval comes through before the Olympics, because the Ogwumike sisters will surely propel the team to a podium finish in Tokyo! Besides, with the sisters being part of the team, D’Tigress should just be awarded a bye to the semis of this year’s Women’s Afrobasket tournament. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/7882411002 |
