LION BUSINESS PARK ENUGU Under Construction. Located at 9th Mile Corner Free Trade Zone, this will be a game changer in Enugu state and indeed the whole Southeast when completed for its a Public Private Partnership mega Project situated on 2000 Hectares of Land. It will consist of Bonded Terminals for large volume cargoes, industries both medium and Large scale, warehouses, Residential Estates, Hotels, shopping malls, Cinemas, coal powered electric Power plant, ICT Hubs etc.

This will boost the Economic strength of Enugu state and create thousands of both direct and indirect jobs, this will become one if not the major Legacy of Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for attracting this mega project to Enugu state.
This is massive!! The more industrial clusters we have in the South-East, the greater the incentive for Igbo youths living in Igbo land to want to remain there.

When the Ibaka Deep Seaport comes on stream, and the Enugu airport international terminal is completed, the exodus to Lagos or Abuja would even decline more.

This article encapsulates my opinion on what the Ogwumike sisters (Nneka and Chiney) should have done right from the beginning: they should have chosen to represent Nigeria.

Hopefully, this episode will cause the NBBF to be more aggressive in persuading talented basketballers of Nigerian heritage in the NCAA tournaments or the NBA and WNBA to don the Green-White-Green.

For the first time at the Olympic Football Tournaments, FIFA – in line with IFAB’s circular No21 - will implement a protocol whereby:

each team will be permitted to use a maximum of one concussion substitute per match;
this concussion substitution may be made regardless of the number of substitutes already used
.

Thoughts?

The big question is if the sisters will be willing to represent us at the tournament...

The afrobasket starts a 2 days before the conclusion of the WNBA season....
Oops. That would be an issue cos it’s not certain if they will seek permission from their franchises to leave early

Thought Chiney was cleared to play for us
Yes, but only cleared to play as a naturalized player. She wasn’t satisfied with that status, so she filed an appeal with CAS to be regarded as a non-naturalized player.

It’s sad that the time was too short for CAS to hear the Ogwumike sisters’ appeals..
But I hope they’ll be cleared in time for September’s Women’s Afrobasket.

Nneka Ogwumike and Elizabeth Williams have filed appeals to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in a last-ditch effort to play basketball for Nigeria in the upcoming Olympics, said two people familiar with the situation.

The pair were notified earlier this week by FIBA that their petition to play for the African nation had been denied because they played for the U.S. national program for too long. The people spoke to The Associated Press Friday on condition of anonymity because no official announcement had been made.

The two WNBA players would need to have FIBA’s decision overturned by Sunday’s registration deadline for the Olympics or have the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) grant them a provisional allowance and add them to the roster until a hearing can occur.

The CAS, which is located in Switzerland, helps facilitate the settlement of sports-related disputes through arbitration or mediation.

Williams, Ogwumike and her younger sister Chiney also sent a letter to FIBA Secretary General Andreas Zagklis hoping he might overturn the decision.

Erica Ogwumike is on Nigeria’s provisional roster as a Nigerian citizen, but Chiney was given permission to play for the country as a naturalized player. Because each country is only allowed one naturalized player, if her status remains the same and Nneka is granted permission to play but only as a naturalized player only one of the two would be able to play for the African country.

The NBBF have finally received D’Tigers and D’Tigresses jerseys for the Olympics
Sports › Re: Nigeria Basketball Thread! by PDPGuy(op): 8:50pm On Jul 15, 2021
Chiney Ogwumike, although approved to play for Nigeria as a naturalized player, will also appeal FIBA’s ruling to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The good news is that CAS could hold an expedited hearing on the Ogwumike and Balogun petitions and render the final ruling before the Olympics.
Sports › Re: Nigeria Basketball Thread! by PDPGuy(op):
It’s sad that FIBA denied Nneka Ogwumike’s petition. But there is hope that the remaining players in camp will rep Nigeria creditably.

The NBBF must do everything within their power to convince Giannis to switch to D’Tigers!!
