Nigeria is taking second position in almost everything in Africa, I don’t think it fits our position as the giant of Africa at all, truth be told.
Considering the forgoing, I would like to chip in one or two things in form of advice for the Hon. Minister of Sports. Sir, do well to ensure there’s grassroots involvement in sporting activities right from the nursery School to primary, secondary and the university. And also of importance, is to have arrangement for local communities organize competitions among themselves, from there, talented persons can be discovered to feed our national teams be they swimmers, footballers, judo, karate, sprinters, jumpers, etc.
