Nigeria has always had good athletes on its bloc. I agree that the current crop is full of so much promise than we may have ever seen.
However, this assemblage of a humongous talent pool is due to the rapid rise of the NCAA system’s recruiting from Nigeria.
Talents are picked from grassroots and athletics academies in Nigeria and awarded scholarships to study/compete in the U.S. collegiate system. A few years down the line, they become superstars.
See some of the name that won medals at the ongoing 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow:
- Tobi Amusan (bronze, 100mH) - Uni. Of Texas, El Paso (ex)
- Samuel Ogazi (gold, 400m) - Uni of Alabama
- Kayinsola Ajayi (bronze, 100m) - Auburn
- Ezekiel Nathaniel (gold, 400mH) - Baylor
- Temitope Adeshina (bronze, H. Jump) - Texas Tech
- Ella Onoju. (Silver, 400m) - Louisiana State
- Udodi Onwu. (Silver, 200m) - Stanford Uni.
- Jessica Oji (silver, shotput) - UPenn.
Thank God for the NCAA 🇺🇸
Else, our disorganization would have suffocated all these greatness.
@vinodchendhil FK Marketplace has been growing faster than Az MP for 3 years now.
While ultra-premium assortment won’t work there as well as it does on Az, everything else will work.
@think_in_points Worst experience. Faced twice.
The drivers just don’t show up. Happened once when I had booked it for my parents.
Never booking again.
@AdeParimal This year, Blinkit will be bigger than Dmart by revenue. It has already posted a profit which will grow now.
Dmart has been given a run for its money. It has lost the premium customers to QComm. What it’s left with are Value Customers. So no pricing power ever. Bad for margins.
@girishs2 Jobs expected from Naidu, Jaitley, Nirmala did not necessitate winning elections.
The job expected from Annamalai i.e. winning TN required electoral success.
@sumukh_herlekar Indian quizzing scene is a ‘scratch each other’s back’ fest rn.
Lit quiz = Their Eng (Hons) syllabus
Ent quiz = Their iPod/Spotify playlist, Hollywood obscure movies
Culture = C&H comics, European cuisine, Vermeer paintings
They know more about Al Gore than Kerry than MMS & ABV
