Evergreen85: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. |
Women’s Olympics Tournament Fun facts: - D’Tigress have more players who stand 6ft or taller (Nine), than the US Women’s Team (Seven). In fact, D’Tigress and Canada are the joint tallest teams at the Olympics as Canada also have 9 players who stand at 6ft or taller. - Pallas Kunaiyi Akpannah, Aisha Mohammed, and Elizabeth Balogun are the only D’Tigress players born in Nigeria - The three tallest D’Tigress players - Aisha Mohammed, Oderah Chidom, and Victoria Macaulay- all stand at 6’4” - At 6’9”, Brittney Griner (USA) and Han Xu (China PR) are the tallest players in the tournament |
pamcode:Nope |
Griffon: Bad guy You’re right sha. This D’Tigress team has so much eye-candy |
How ta do you think these D’Tigress players are?
|
It’s an encouraging result for the team |
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. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/2021/07/21/nneka-ogwumike-nigeria-usa-basketball-olympics/ |
A Nigerian man is competing in the gymnastics event. Wow |
Here’s a link to Team Nigeria’s schedule https://www.makingofchamps.com/2021/07/22/key-dates-all-you-need-to-know-about-team-nigeria-at-tokyo-2020-olympics/ |
Congrats to Giannis, Jordan Nwora and the rest of the Milwaukee Bucks! |
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? |

Danielnino00:I’ll go with Caleb Agada |
Danielnino00:Oops. That would be an issue cos it’s not certain if they will seek permission from their franchises to leave early |
hismail1: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. |
Danielnino00:Nope |
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. |
Danielnino00:I knew Gabe Vincent would never be dropped, unless he is injured |
Danielnino00:Sorry, I was away at a function during the game |
somehow:Yea She’s massive at 6’8” |
Schemerkhiz:Yea, Onyinyechi Okeke is the tallest at 6ft, while Plumptree stands at 5’11” |
FORWARDEVERLY:That is Victoria Macaulay, she is 6’4” |
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.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.santacruzsentinel.com/2021/07/16/ap-sources-ogwumike-files-appeal-to-play-in-olympics/amp/ |
Danielnino00:The game is on Sunday at 10:30pm Nigerian time |
BREAKING: The NBBF have finally received D’Tigers and D’Tigresses jerseys for the Olympics |
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. |
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!! |
