Only small minds resort to insults to make their points. Those with superior arguments don't. You left the crux of the arguments made and instead resort to bottom barrel behaviour. Instead of accusing people of bigotry or being regressive, provide a counter argument.

You asked who is concerned? There are literally threads on social media that have sparked this conversation in recent times with numerous people who share this sentiments. That you disagree doesn't dispel the concerns that some people have. And no I didn't share extremes, I shared what's literally happening as we speak. I could literally list tens of examples just off the top of my head to validate this. Pretty sure I could do hundreds of it if this were a research topic.

How you could draw a parallel with the points made to racism and discrimination is puzzling. I'm however not surprised that people without superior arguments resort to cheap blackmail with the isms as a cop out.

And the fact that you even consider Obama as one of the best leader the world as ever known either speaks to how low your judgement is or how ignorant you are about subjects you posture to know much about. Obama is arguable one of the worst leaders the US as seen in recent year. He did next to nothing for the black community, he started endless wars particularly in Africa and is largely responsible for the proliferation of insurgency and banditry across Africa due to his invasion of Libya. He literally refused to sell arms to Nigeria during the Jonathan istration to stem the tide of Boko Haram in her early days.

I could literally go on and on. But that really isn't the point. I literally suggested that participation should begin from the second generation as in my estimation that shows significant ties with said country. You can disagree with my suggestion but the point is this open ended rule is largely to Africa's disadvantage. Also, the conversation was limited to sports and it's application shouldn't be blanketedly applied outside it's context like you did.

bad relations in Africa is not enough to term him one of the worst president of the United States of America.

Bro, just check out that French team. So assuming the tide of immigration turns say from Europe to Africa, an English man or Italian can become an igbo man or Nupe or hausa man to the extent of totally dominating certain aspects of their life and our people will keep quiet and just accept it?
that’s why they are a developed country, they understand that the English man is better at it and he’s not blocking them from coming into the team if they are good enough. Have you read somewhere that a native French player better than Mbappe didn’t make the team because of Mbappe?

Like Obama was literally the worst all things considered. Even Trump who most people hate did more for black America than Obama did. Obama deported more people in 4 years than Trump did. Trump only had the rethoric but Obama the actions. That singular action in Libya has turned several African counties into havens of terrorism. He literally hinged important aids to African nations on for his LGBTQ agenda. Literally the worst president we've seen in recent years. But that's not even the conversation so.wont want to continue.

I think you can make an argument for your position without being condescending. That said, this is a sensitive issue with both position having it's merit. We also know that much of this rules exist as is because the west largely benefits from this. There are multiple examples of this rules being abused across different competitions and the west are the biggest beneficiaries. To assume abuse doesn't exist is being disingenuous and I'll give an example for context.

Joel Embid is one of the best basketball players in the world today. He was born and bred in Cameroon to Cameroonian parents before emigrating to the USA to further is basketball career. He was given presidential recognition in Cameroon as was seen as the catalyst for basketball development in Cameroon. That was untill came swooping in and granted him citizenship by special circumstances so he could play for . He committed to playing for at this year's Olympics game. The USA however granted him citizenship and he ditched to now represent the USA. This is one of many examples I can cite to give credence to my point. There was a time when Benin Republic was literally granting citizenship to Nigerian players so they could compete favourably. I still Muri Ogunbiyi vividly from 2004, a player of Eyimba who had no ties to Benin dorning their jersey at the AFCON. .

Glory Alozie was a Nigerian athlete that medalled for Nigeria at the Olympics and won multiple laurels for Nigeria in the late 90s. She emigrated to Europe and was granted a Spanish citizenship. She then switched nationalities and represented Spain till the end of her career. This still persist till today. This is when worse in Athletics as most of the biggest athletes in the Middle east now are from Africa and particularly Nigeria. There are multiple athletes who represented Nigeria at the last Olympics who now represent the USA today. There are multiple examples of this in football also across Europe.

On the flip side, Nneka and Chinney Ogwumike and Elizabeth Williams wanted to represent Nigeria at the last Olympics and applied to switch nationalities with FIBA but got their application refused because of "significant ties" to USA.

My take, I personally think the threshold for representation should increase that what obtains now. I think that representation of countries by immigrants and Children of immigrants should begin from the second generation. That way you would have shown significant ties to your nation of residence. I understand this may not be fair to children born and raised in said nations, but I think it for the most part solves a bit of the concerns that persist now. This isn't gospel by the way, just my take.

He mentioned other points beyond Obama's actions in Africa. And yes, Obama is arguably the worst president of the United States. I once was enthralled by his oratory. For many since he's black, he's gold.

I try to ignore this but I really can't. Will you guys just stop lying?

Every verifiable report available already proves Finidi never made the statement. Like even Victor now knows Finidi didn't. Why do you continually perpetuate a lie than never happened. I don't even mind you defending Victor's behaviour but don't premise it on a lie.


He thought he said it and reacted but has since.learnt it wasn't the case. Every press man worth is salt across Nigeria has already debunked the report even journalists who are very pro-osimhen aren't perpetuating this lie. They all know Finidi never said it. Let's stop spreading falsehood.

Just leave am, make him dey play.

Breaking news!.... New Super Eagles coach unveiled....

The new super eagles coach has emerged, following the resignation of Coach Finidi George. Sources close to the big wigs in NFF disclosed that a certain Elyte89 was the favorite candidate after examining his resume. Coach Elyte89 who cut his coaching teeth on nairaland is known to have never coached a team except argue points with fellow monikers on Nairaland FC. It remains to be seen how the new gaffer will fare whilst handling the Super Eagles. The Nigerian male national team currently sit 5th on the log for the world cup qualifiers. Coach Elyte89 seems to be in favor of Katikati ball, just like Guardiola is known for tiki taka. Details of his unveiling to be announced later.

.

I think you need to re-read my post. I said Finidi made an unverifiable statement. I was only emphasing "his state of mind". That, in case he made d statement, he would have been better off to jump into the river than alleging d most dedicated SE player and for jeopardizing the chances of the SE for WCQ, when he knew he was inept.

And please do not hide under my moniker to lash out at people.

Since the inception of the African Athletics Championships in 1979, Nigeria is the most successful nation in the women's 4x100m.

Team Nigeria 🇳🇬 over the years, have won 12 GOLD medals since winning the first one at the 1989 edition held in Lagos.

The last time an African country defeated Nigeria was 18years ago in Mauritius. They have won all the 4x100m races since then, except in 2016 when Nigeria didn't field a team.

Women's 4x100m...na Naija get am!💪💪

Was I the only one that saw how ineffective Jude Bellingham was yesterday?? I guess this will be the last of southgate. They were just wack yesterday. The only spark I saw was Palmer and that Mainoo.. Pls he should help Eze's ministry also. Imagine all the changes yesterday and he couldn't bring him on.

The only reason England may not sack Southgate soon is because they are too egoistic to hire a competent foreign manager... if they sack hum now and decide to hire another English coach, who is more competent? All of them have been exposed..

I have said it several times, everything about English football is overrated... Remove the foreigners from English football and nobody will give a sh*t about it anymore
