Nigeria needs to invest a lot in sports, it’s so obvious it brings more happiness to Nigerians than what all the politicians, pastors and imams have ever done since 1960

Nigeria sport is on the rise under Tinubu's regime.

This what Happen when you have a president that knows how to ginger and reward the galant players

The Eaglet receive many gift after the world cup show and now everybody want to be like them.

If you does Good..... Tinubu will never let you go empty.

This must be a new pattern of having global qualifiers instead of continental qualifiers.

The demerit is that all the African teams can be eliminated even before making it to the Olympics proper.
