I just decided to Google the sumolu's hoping the were not real. Like hey, maybe some south African's paid to pretend to be Nigerians.<br />That being said, I think Nigeria should ban that advert. It is deliberately offensive. If they had said SA was the giant of Africa, that would be open for debate. Using the word "real" is my issue with it.<br />Finally, it's about time we reorganise our home. Learn to see ourselves as we want others to see us.<br />My humble opinion.

The fact is these pple you have written about, do not even bother to read scientific constructive criticism like yours. It is so sad. <br /><br />Sports administration is no rocket science, but the problem with our country, is that administrators think of their pockets first before anything else, in the words of a very exceptional sports administrator chief Solomon ogba, "any sports commissioner at the state level that comes out of office a very rich man, obviously did not do anything to develop sports at the grassroots level". And yet, year in year out, our country keeps producing multi millionaires who are former commissioners of sports, I know this authoritatively, because at a time, I was the longest serving commissioner of sports in Nigeria , I took a financially poor state from the 19th position at the national sports festival level, to third in 2006 and second in 2009, we were able to achieve this feat through high focus on the welfare of the athletes, early camping, good nutrition, and the family bonding. Today I am so proud that there is no national team in any sport that u will not find an athlete that cut his or teeth from that fantastic system we applied. Which is why I totally thank you for putting this write up together. I hope they will listen because we need to revolutionize our sports quickly and scientifically.

And for the naysayer and those calling for disintegration of Nigeria as once proposed by Gaddafi (whose country provides a window to what Nigeria could be when disintegrated) they should first think and plan how to first of all resolve the feuds/carnage/war/challenges that existed between for instance Benue and Ebonyi; Ife/Modakeke; Ogbe-Ijoh; Tiv/Junkun; Umuleri/Aguleri; Ijaw/Itsekiri and how to " separate Yoruba tribe along religious lines"!

Lord Lugard amalgamated the North and the South as a cruel joke designed to ensure the project never succeeds due to mutual distrust as a foundation for corruption and the societal ills we face today. In my opinion the franchise called Nigeria is incapable of any kind of success as a Nation that will compete with others for the simple fact that the only thing its people share is the geography. Table ANY matter related to the development of the nation other than the fact that the country is a failure and see if you can LEGITIMATELY get a consensus of opinion especially when the matter one of progress. We should be praying to God that "the poor uneducated northern husband and his rich educated southern wife" manage an amicable divorce as the alternative is an ugly strife I am sure no one wants.
