thebosstrevor1: Continue wishing them bad. It doesn't change the fact that they are your best. thebosstrevor1: You are still holding on to your ignorance. You don't just bring your large team, rather you qualify for the events. Now, imagine if Nigeria had qualified for the men and women football events. It means at least 35 sportsmen would have been added to their contingent, but they couldn't qualify. Just go and check the names of people that make up the teams during the qualifiers. I watched the final qualifying match in Agege stadium against Cote D'ivoire where they failed to qualify. Their captain Desire Oparanozie was sacked from the team for speaking up for her mates. For the men, go and check list of the players that played in the qualifiers where they failed to qualify. That is the quota system team you support thebosstrevor1: So the basketball male and female teams are not selected by merit If not for them you would have had about 10 people repping Nigeria. Their coaches are foreigners and they selected the best without sentiments, and who are in the majority? IGBOS! 2 Likes |

Millimann: Ignorance at its peaks. The United states have about 613 athletes in this Olympics The uk have about 376 Japan about 552 athletes...Nigeria about 19. Your ignorance is first class. All the players in the basketball team play in the United states where the coach lives, if it was by merit then players in Nigeria would have been considered. |
