very frankly,
if we are going to do this
in depth
in detail
then it is very likely that
we are going to be doing a fair
number of posts
and
that we are probably going to stay
on the issue
for a fair length of time
running into
weeks
months
and
possibly longer
on this one.
it may be pragmatic
for us to layout
some sort of
general framework
and to
specify the time period(s),
if any,
that we are
taking into consideration
or
looking at.
seeing as today is
December 26, 2024
Angel Reese ohbee nm ( ohbee m ) ( ohbeem ) ( ohbeenm ) ( obi nm ) ( obi m ) ( obim ),
i guess it is probably fairly reasonable,
with regards to
the time frame(s)
the time period(s)
to look at the periods
2020 A.D Upwards
2000 A.D to 2020 A.D
1980 A.D to 2000 A.D
1960 A.D to 1980 A.D
1940? A.D to 1960 A.D
P.S : by the way, Angel Reese nnkeh nm ( nke nm ) ( nkem ), the relevance of that 1960 A.D date there and that 1940 A.D date there essentially is that there have been Sporting Activities .. according to rumours .. and on record in some instances .. in Nigeria in these back in the day periods .. and earlier? e.g in 1957 A.D Emmanuel Ifeajuna won the Gold Medal for High Jump at the CommonWealth Games in Vancouver, Canada although Nigeria, West(ern) Africa, Africa actually became a self-ruling country ( i.e an independent country ) in 1960 A.D
Prior to this time it had been ruled by Britain as a colony of Britain in West Africa.
According to rumours, prior to British dominance of the Nigeria Area, the Portuguese i.e Portugal, the Spaniards/ the Spanish i.e Spain, the Dutch i.e the Netherlands / Holland had at various times in World History maintained dominance in the Nigeria Area
Angel Reese nnmah nm ( nma nm ),
seeing as
the concept of a career
has
an innate integral
in the circumstance that
a career is
a job function / work function
that
the individual performs
for a length of time
possibly uptil the retirement age or thereafter
.. varying with individual specific circumstances ..
from the performance of which
the individual earns income
with which
she/he sustains himself / herself
we will necessarily
as we go along
look at the
Nigeria Economy
and see if
whether or not
the overall level of vibrancy / buoyancy of the Nigeria Economy has any impact on Sports as a Career Option in Nigeria
the level of upgrade development / sophistication / real investment in the Sports Sector of the Nigeria Economy has any impact on Sports as a Career Option in Nigeria
Angel Reese nnmah nm ( nnmah m ) ( nma nm ) ( nma m ) ( nmam ),
as a general averment
i will aver that
since the 1989 A.D
continuing devaluation of the Nigeria Naira
Nigeria Medical Doctors
Nigeria Nurses
Nigeria Accountants
Nigeria Scientists
etc
have
LIKE NIGERIA SPORTS PERSONS
seen value
and
demonstrated the value
in earning income via their professions
in locations OUTSIDE NIGERIA
e.g
the United Kingdom,
France,
Germany,
Europe Generally .. including East(ern) Europe, etc ..
the Americas
.. including North America
e.g Canada, USA
and South America
e.g Colombia, Brazil ..
the Arab World
.. including Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Bahrain, etc ..
Angel Reese nm,
i shall return to this particular observation later.
