A former NBA player has taken to his Twitter page to resonate with Peter Obi "100 out of every NBA player are Nigerians .

Obinna Ekezie Tweets.

I can equivocally say that Nigerians contribute a high population of athletes in the NBA, WNBA and NCAA in the USA over the last 30 years.
Well over 150 of us, Do your research!
I played in the NBA as a professional, these are facts!

Before Peter Obi say anything, he must have done his research thoroughly. He's one smart/intelligent politician we have in this country. What Obi said , was nothing but the truth. Forget that agbado eaters association usêlèss "fact check" they did. They think that every politicians is dummy just like their dull old drug lord who knows nothing aside munching agbado in his rotten gummy and brownish teeth.

you guys like twisting and turning like snakes. There's a difference between "over 150 Nigerians have played in the NBA" and "100 out of every 150 NBA player is a Nigerian". Obi lied, let him retract his statement. It is not a crime to make mistake but it is when you know you made a mistake and you continue telling lies to cover it up.

Who is this clown who is making stupid excuses for the pathological liar?


Nigerians are not even the majority of foreigners playing in the NBA, no to talk of the outlandish claim by Obi.

When I saw I can ‘equivocally’ say… I stopped reading.


You can’t want to back up what someone asserted with more uncertainty. Next please

Obi has recruited ipob statisticians, they churn out numbers from their @'$$.

There is never a time Nigerians has ever constituted or will ever constitute 75% of NBA players. NEVER!

NBA recruits from college athletes and scouting agents. Nigerians on athletic scholarship in US Universities are not up to 10% of campus population. Nigerians on street basketball highlights are zero.

So where did Obi get 75%? This lie is minted from autonomous village in Onitsha.

I watched PO live and I must say it was an honest mistake which is normal.

For a start, in NBA season 30 teams are represented with each it having 15 players each which makes 450 players and not 150 players. NB: 390 players are active in a given season.

What I think PO meant to say is that, out of 150 Africans that have played in the NBA 100 are Nigerians.

PO made an honest mistake

Like leader like followers, fools supporting fool..... Obi a.k.a him tu lie is a dullard

That is not an honest mistake, it is a deliberate deception.

Fucking repugnant lying Okoro. Even on NBA websites, nowhere can you find any figure close to that. The highest Nigeria has ever had at any time playing for the NBA, whose total players per time doesn't exceed 450 typically, is 5!!

So how the hell is 5 out of 450 a significant number, let alone 66.66% which is what 100 out of 150 represents?

The problem with lying is that, in defending a lie,you've gotta lie some more, and in the end, you wind up with a mountain of lies which even a teaspoon could demolish in seconds.

You Okoros should be humble for once and admit your faults. No one expects Gringori to be perfect, after all, he's human. But this thing about defending every error of his to be the right thing is sickening. He makes mistakes just like the rest of us. Accept that fact and move on.

These people are way out of their damn minds. It's terrible they simply can't accept the man has flaws just as do all humans. They must paint a picture of a God of him, just as they did Kanu whom they've now abandoned. The risk with this sort of attitude is that it makes dictators out of men.

If they say he is right, then it means the remaining 33.33% of NBA players are shared between Asians, Europeans, Native Americans, South Americans, etc.

How the hell is this possible?

The most enduring heritage of these Pandora fanatics is their unapologetic foolishness.
