We're Getting Things : A Freewrite

'Cause I was the media director for the last National Sports Festival and I saw a lot of talents just lying down on the concrete at the Abuja stadium, sleeping in the cold, you know, just trying to wait, waiting for their arrest in the next day. They do live on one. I think the marathon or something. The guy. This, I don't know who sponsored him and he was from Delta State anyways.

Well, Delta guy as well. We're getting things done now. At some point I was staying from the bleachers and I was looking at all the ladies and I was just thinking, these are so good. I wish they just had, you know. The right platform, right? Or maybe the right machinery. So I just put them, you know, on the world map. Which interest in sports, first of all, let me just ask what's what are your thoughts on how things should be right in the sports? The biggest issue with sports in Nigeria, which is also kind of the biggest issue with everything in Nigeria is the government.

In Nigeria, sports is primarily government backed, government position, government placed. So if we think about globally, the bigger leagues, the bigger teams are privately owned teams. The NBA is owned by some human beings. NFL, Premier League, all of these things, these people put their own money and are spending their own money the way they want to do it. But in Nigeria it is a national, but is our Nigerian basketball league.

It is the NPL, you know, it's everything is a government owned, you know, government backed entity. And that's what's, that's honestly that's our issue. It's just basically because when I first came here, I realized that lots of people, part of the reason why I came to Nigeria was I realized that the best athletes in the world are generally Africans or from African descent. However, we have to leave Africa to be be known as that best athletes.
