D'Tigers - Nothing do you jor! You owe nobody an explanation. Well done on making it to the Olympics, despite the arduous barriers facing sports development in Naija. |
Re: Basketball Team: D'Tigers Had Six-Weeks To Prepare – Oyedeji by OmoTier1(m): 4:30pm On Aug 17, 2012 |
D'tigers should be commended! The captain has spoken the truth. A team that had just six weeks to prepare should not even be expected to win any game These guys did the country proud. To many of you on here spewing rubbish, how many of you can do Nigeria proud as D'Tigers did if you are given just six weeks to prepare for a major competition like the Olympics? As the captain rightly mentioned, lets invest in this team, keep them together for another two years and sponsor them to major competitions, just like we did with the male football team way back in 1994 and we were rewarded with a memorable performance just two years afterwards. |

Okiki_Oluwa: Story story, Story!ignorance is indeed a disease.those guys made themselves into a team.their coach,ayo bakare deserves all the accolades possible for ensuring the team was assembled.those who know about their build-up to the play-offs know what sacrifices each member of the team had to make.do you think they enjoyed the support of the NBBF?those guys spent their own money on flight tickets,hotels,etc.the federation promised to refund them but i dont know if that has happened.they became the first nigerian basketball team ever to qualify for the olympics.they are the first african team ever to win a game at the olympics.gone are the days when we trembled at the thought of meeting angola or tunisia.now we know our boys can hold their own if properly motivated. most of the athletes spent their own money on training.okagbare,akinyemi,odumosu,oke et al picked the bill for their training.the government then releases money 4weeks before the olympics commence and expects magic and then some ignoramuses start to spew trash on nairaland |

Delafruita:u must be a joker hr. Wats d meaning of ignorance blah blah blah. U tink u can jst spit @ pple anyhow claiming dat u knw all whereas u knw nothing. Oya waka pass! Lubbish. |
Re: Basketball Team: D'Tigers Had Six-Weeks To Prepare – Oyedeji by UyiIredia(m): 5:04pm On Aug 17, 2012 |
I understand. A team that was assembled in just 6 weeks really was bound to fail from the start against better prepared teams. |
Re: Basketball Team: D'Tigers Had Six-Weeks To Prepare – Oyedeji by MrGlobe(m): 5:10pm On Aug 17, 2012 |
Basketball should start receiving the same govt budget as football in this country since football has taken us nowhere |
Re: Basketball Team: D'Tigers Had Six-Weeks To Prepare – Oyedeji by Nobody: 6:01pm On Aug 17, 2012 |
If only they had prepared well,we will......... |

I hope private firms will begin to sponsor sports in Nigeria because leaving it in the hands of the Government will not work. |

When you dont prepare for any thing in life , dont expect miracle to happen. if they prepare in a year then the sky is there limits 2.3Billion Naira has gone into some bastards hands , which boils down to corruption peace 1 Like |
