On Sunday, the Nigeria basketball team, D’Tiger becomes the first African nation to defeat Team USA, although it was an exhibition but the defeat didn’t go well with Team USA Basketball fans.

In a recent development, the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo while delivering a speech at the send forth ceremony of team Nigeria for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at the state House yesterday made a reference to the 90-87 defeat against the US team led by all-world forward Kevin Durant. ‘‘For anyone who thinks we are joking, maybe they haven’t seen the exihibition basket ball game on Saturday against the USA team, especially that amazing block by Precious Achuwa against Kevin Durant (KD) who is probably the best NBA player probably right now, so Precious, you are the real MVP’’, he said.


Following the development, American celebrity sports commentator, Kelvin Clancy had taken to his Twitter account to express disappointment that the United States had lost to Nigeria’s D’Tigers.
”’We lost to Nigeria in Basketball? Do they even have food?
”You know what am just gonna watch UFC,” he wrote.

Contrary to his opinion, the US coach Gregg Popovich said “I thought that the Nigerian team played very physically, did a great job in that regard and knocked down a lot of 3s,”.

I am looking for people from Futa Jalon in the team since quota system was not applied as they are trying to introduce to Super Eagles

Nice one, that victory was very significant.

Just imagine if the Yoruba-Greek boy and his brothers join this Nigerian team? I tell you the will bring the Olympic Gold home with no stress.

How come no one isn’t reporting the defeat Argentina Basketball team suffered yesterday in the hands of D’Tigers by 94-71?

Argentina is the 4th in Basket Ball world ranking.

Look out for the D’Tigers in Tokyo

My only joy is that for the first time, rubber stamp, LAWAN finally heed to our cry by not forcing ONOCHIE down our troat.

Thank you senator GAYA

Nigeria beat USA in Basket ball

Biafra beat the USA in basketball. What do you call a team that has 13 Igbo players out of 15 players?

PYO is so high on emotional intelligence!

Politics aside, it'd be great to have him as Nigerian president;

Someone that can awaken the patriotic spirit in all Nigerians and make them proud of their country.

Someone that knows how to build bridges and calm the nerves of agitators

Someone who has innovative ideas to make the country work (his stints as acting President speak loudly)

Someone who can engage the man/woman on the street in meaningful, stimulating convo and do the same with powerful Presidents world over

Let me stop before they think I'm campaigning.
