SPORTS: IT’S FINE IF IT BRINGS CHANGE…

Sports has always been my thing for as long as i can remember. Growing up, i was more into football than i was in other sports. I wasn’t much of a football guy, so I didn’t really enjoy it much as something i’d settle for when extreme boredom sets in. When I’m extremely bored, sleeping has always been my alltime remedy. Back in my younger days, i had no other choice than to join my friends on the field to play football, it was what every young boy in the hood loved doing, and as a young boy also, i had no other choice than to join them whenever they want to go play, just so i could escape from home…

Although I was never really good at striking or tackling, but I was extremely good at defense. I was a very good defender, which is why most time i played i always opted to be the goalkeeper, that way i’d be able to play to my strength. This was me until i realized football wasn’t the only sport that is enjoyable in the world, it was at this point i started building my career as a runner…

I have always been among the representatives of my school whenever there’s a relay race competition, and on no occasion have i failed my school. I was one of the best runners in my school, and that was because of my height, flexibility and speed. Being congratulated lots of times in the past made me understand how important sport is to the human race. I now understand why many people out there choose to build a future around it. Sport is as important as every other aspect of life in this world…

Honestly, if we are to be very fair and honest, the amount of resources and effort that is invested in sports is significantly greater than any other life investment. I know how much sport is loved by almost everyone in the world. If not football, there are over a thousand and one other sports out there, with a reasonable number of people who love and enjoy them…

I also love sports, don’t get me wrong. It is very good for the health, as funny as that might sound. To be able to participate in any sport event, you must be healthy in all aspect, and to be healthy in all aspects, you need to have good and proper training, diet and fitness, which is why i say it is good for the health…

INTERNATIONAL SPORTING EVENTS…

Honestly, i don’t see the resources spent on international sporting events as a waste of resources. Every resources that has been allocated to international sporting events is actually more of a necessity than a waste. As a Nigerian, sport is that which many of us enjoy most in this country. Sport has been the connecting factor between our country and several other countries over the years, and these connections have proven to be quite helpful to us in the time of distress…

Honestly, i love the fact that our country as a whole has been opportuned to participate in these international sporting events, including the world cup, olympics, and many other competitions. This is an evidence that our country is doing well globally. I don’t think the money spent to achieve all these will ever be too much, as long as we are getting our desired results, we should keep spending it, but without it affecting the functionality and activity of other aspects of our economy…

In summary, we are seeing the results of the money being spent on these projects. As long as we are getting the desired results, there’s no harm in continuity…

In conclusion, as long as everything that is being done is for the betterment of this country, i won’t have any reason to complain. All i want as a citizen of this country is progress, prosperity, unity and freedom, and from what i know, the world of sports has been doing that so far. If this should continue this way, then i will always be in…
