Football doesnt require a lot of IQ - anybody can play it almost - that is why its popular.

obaaderemi:
Elitism is exactly the reason why rugby is not a popular sport. It has nothing to do with IQ.

You've no 2 once in 97; and no four; Kenya has been no 3 and no 4. That is equal.

jl115:
except we are not equal since you haven't won a medal at any 7s world cup and we have one 2

One random Ghanian player or legend doesnt mean your country is good in sports. That is just a wild card. A random freak.
To be good means you're generating legends every year.

Just40:
Just gave them the boxing hall of Fame and they keep quiet

Africa. You beat us in Olympics.

jl115:
what? Is this boxing or Olympics you posted?

Never mind see this is boxing

Because we are good in many games and play at world class level in most - and have established ourselves as a sporting giant.

Balogunodua:
How does this makes Kenya Africa sporting giant

Word cup 7s - we are equal.
The rest is splitting the hairs.

jl115:
not even since we have a bronze and silver medal at world cups... Also your mismanagement of your national team is irrelevant to me

Possibly if we have post-apartheid boxing

jl115:
think this list is wrong.... All time it would be Kenya 1st and SA 2nd in Africa

We have explained severally. In international league series - our underfund team struggle with logistical challenges. When it's come to world cup - we are equal.

This just this week - Kenya Rugby Union - with dearth of sponsors are struggling. There was time KQ was doing great job - flying them all over - they left KQ for another sponsor but now SportPesa (betting company) died, Safaricom stopped.

@AbabuNamwamba
, Are you aware that our Kenya 7s Rugby team is supposed to go to Dubai and Cape Town? That's not even my point, how can a NATIONAL TEAM be so DESPERATE to an extend that they've turned to Kenyans for contributions? When shall ever be serious ?

jl115:
it's not.... 39 vs 4 SA vs Ken

Kenya has very vibrant rugby - it's very popular sport from high school to university.

This is high school rugby

Balogunodua:
My sencodary school u15 kids would beat you national team 50-0

Said who? Check Africa and Olympic records. Kenya is 3rd in Africa - Nigeria is nowhere.

As of 2015 inclueding men's events of the combined editions until 2022:

Rank Nation Gold Silver Bronze Total
1 Algeria 36 23 21 80
2 Egypt 20 17 13 50
3 Kenya 20 14 4 38
4 Uganda 18 15 12 45
5 Morocco 17 20 21 58
6 Ghana 16 17 15 48
7 Cameroon 16 14 9 39
8 Mauritius 13 9 7 29
9 Tunisia 10 3 16 29
10 Zambia 8 4 6 18


Nigeria is no 11

Balogunodua:
How is Kenya the sporting giant of Africa?

Boxing we are far ahead of Kenya one of..of not even the best in Africa and the world.

I still have more..but first you must shoe me how Kenya is Africa sporting giant

Nigeria basketball is actually the rejects of American basketball.

This, however, is a practice that has been criticized back home. Olumide Oyedeji, a former Nigeria captain, feels that the focus on American-born talent robs the country's homegrown athletes of an opportunity to represent their country.

"It is not a crime to be born in Nigeria," Oyedeji told Abuja-based Nigeria Info FM. The former center, who played 93 games in the NBA for the Seattle Supersonics and Orlando Magic, led the team to its first Olympic appearance and African title.

The success of Nigerian international basketball has overshadowed the decline at home, where the Nigerian Professional Basketball League has fallen victim to a political dispute at the top of the country's basketball federation.

"The job of the federation is to develop and promote the game to the best of our abilities, Nigerians from all parts of the globe have a right to represent the country," said Babs Ogunade, vice president of the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBF). "What works here is talent and competence."

The failure of the Rivers Hoopers, the country's representative at the inaugural Basketball Africa League in Rwanda last May, demonstrated that the country's players simply aren't competitive at an international club level.

gallivant:
Obaboon, last time we met in basketball Nigeria lost. Did you forget?

This is KBF kenya basketball league

Formation is the key term.

obaaderemi:
Below 15s is the key term here.

There is IQ - and other "IQS" - emotional or social or maybe football IQ. But generally most footballers normally struggle to read or write. Most rugby players are product of universities. Most footballers drop out of primary school.

obaaderemi:
Your IQ is low. That's why you think IQ has to do with book knowledge alone.

I doubt . If you remove diaspora kids - same with football - you'd be very average. You go all over US and Europe looking for diaspora kids.

Show me you local league and I will show you kenya basketball league.

Kenya has vibrant sport scene - in almost all sport genres.

obaaderemi:
Basketball. Another game in which even my secondary school (Alma mata) will beat your national team.

But it's not a junior league. Yes it below 15s but it's not a junior league where people graduates from. It's different format of Rugby - one require more althetic (running) skills - the other is jampacked - requires staminas.

obaaderemi:
I know enough to understand that rugby sevens which you can't even win is below rugby 15s, Rest In Peace.

Definitely most football have low IQ. They are intelligent in playing soccer.

obaaderemi:
Being brilliant is beyond formal education alone, dumbo. I don't expect a little Indian to know that anyway.

NIgeria - apart from football - do you have any other sports - with same functional leagues?

What do you know about Rugby obaboon. If not bating for Ghanians - you're offering a helping hand to Azanians. Give us your perspective of Nigeria sports (however dysfunctional).

How is Nigeria Rugby football doing?

My own alma mater UON "Mean Machine" would beat Nigeria Rugby senseless.

obaaderemi:
Exactly what I'm trying to tell the little Indians.

The difference at that level is minute.

jl115:
they are good I agree, second in Africa by some distance, however they aren't even close to the blitzboks... That is a statistical fact

You already run out of sports. Kenya is african sporting giants. Boxing you're not there.

Balogunodua:
In Basketball we are king in Africa

Football you are no where close to us.

Chess you lose.

Boxing you are inconsequential

In Tennis you are far below us.

Should I go on

A fleet of fifteen electric buses have arrived at the Port of Mombasa aboard MV Morning Christina
This is the largest consignment of electric buses to the region as Kenya is looking to transition to clean energy.

The buses were shipped by BYD Automotive; the largest manufacturer of electric vehicles in the world following a successful trial of two pilot buses which are currently operational in Nrb.
Morning Christina is among 39 vessels expected at the port of Mombasa in the next two weeks

I see you coming home soonest because you didnt deserve to be there - South Africa should be in Qatar.

vaxx:
let me also tell you another fact, Ghana is the least ranked football team in this present world cup but we beat the best football team in south asia , how do you see it. Football is not like renting your wife to a tourist for a couple of coins .

Olympics and World cup are equal. The rest is splitting hairs.Qatars are bunch of morons who shouldnt have hosted it. I see they are even paying fans to attend. That just oil rich country in a vanity mission. World cup is their toy. This will go down arguably as most booring of worldcups.

vaxx:
olympic that some country even refuse to participate. They actually want 3 to 5 member of your senior team . Nothing more . You are subscribing to olympic because you aren't a football lover yourself . If you are football lover , you wouldn't be fooling this way. World cup is the biggest big deal event on earth.Qatar spent over 300billion dollars just to host one ,that is bigger than your cooked GDP..

When it comes to popular sport like football and boxing ( kenya should be competing with Liberia because Togo still has some kind of grate record.

Fifa - Ghana ranked 61 in football and 11 in Africa . And that is your best foot forward. The only difference with kenya is the next game then you're home.

Senegal at least is ranked top 20...at no 18th...impressive

Look like indeed you stole from Bafana bafana

So why is Olympic such a big deal?
You measure up with Benin and Togo.
You dont measure up to Kenya in sports.
Nobody knows Ghana. In your best sports - you cannot even make the top 60 of the world.
Football ranking - Can you even make top 50 in the world?
Kenya is a well known sporting Giant.
If althetic is easy - why dont you run - with ball - and score

vaxx:
in beautiful Nubia voice , in my journey to the world, over land and over sea , I have never seen an idiot like you. A fanatic fool. running required no mental stimulation, just run and run that is all. Fool like you do that almost everytime .

Do you want me to list Ghanaian boxers that are more successful than entire east africa . Ghana is boxing house in africa , only Nigeria and South Africa can matched us in comparison . I don't need to talk about football . You can Google it .

You're splitting hairs; Kenya and South Africa are at par in 7s rugby. You beats us (boer that is) on the rugby 15s. We are not at world class level on 15s. But 7s - we are.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Going by that logic is low....

Even in soccer Netherlands have never won the world cup same as kenya. Kenya is not same level as Netherlands

Same way we not in 7s rugby, we lost the finals you never reached that far

Every althetic distance has specific training regime for it. Your just come from a country that has achieved nothing in sports. You saw even boxing you're useless. Just running to one boxer. Kenya is Africa sporting giant.

Nigeria are still celebrating winning women hurdles - THE ENTIRE 220M OF THEM KNOW HER NAME

vaxx:
there is nothing skillful in what you type down , it is just a repeat of the same routine . Wake up and run . Nothing skillful .

Most footballers spend at least around 10 years in the academy before debuting to the first team. It required skills, traits, talent and a bit of luck for you to scale thru .


Only idiot like you will train for how to run for one year.

Which sports do you beat kenya in apart from soccer? Volleyball? Netball? Boxing? name it

obaaderemi:
Losing out to a South African on rugby business. Little Indians trying hard to make it look they can do sports other than endurance races. Never knew they' were this desperate about belonging.

This is not soccer. It got nothing to do with age. Its 7 players aside or 15 players aside. Your analogy obaboon is misplaced.

obaaderemi:
Why is it that when you lose an argument, you take refuge in insults like a girl?

You are here hyping rugby 7 which you have never won. It's like a West African hyping a FIFA under 17 which his country didn't win.

I dont recall South Africa having won the Rugby 7s world cup. They have about the same record as kenya. They have won the 15 asides - 3 times/

Shma2022:
You think world seven series is a two or three tornerments? Nah_ it's a whopping one year tounerment. Winning leg edition is not easy!!! Beating fiji on finals is not easy. Beating Argentina and New Zealand is not a walk on the park. But beating south African boer is pretty much easy.
