Rihanna nnkeh nm ohfoo sorr-sorr,
Rihanna nkem ofu soso,
this subject matter may require a fair number of posts if we want to really get down on it

and

considering limitations such as
time
and
the reality that we still find ourselves having the hit the ground running with regards to our posts

i guess
perhaps
we should

keep the material simple
and
go about the exercise in a
one-step-at-a-time
manner.

Rihanna ohbee nm,
Rihanna obi nm,
the time frame we are looking at is :

February 14, 2025
minus
60 years
which gives
February 14, 1965

and that’s a time period in which
quite a lot
has happened in Nigeria
regarding careers and professions.

perhaps, i should start with :

(1) FOOTBALL.
MALE FOOTBALL.
FEMALE FOOTBALL.

i say perhaps Rihanna because
THE SPORTS PROFESSIONS
have as a group
witnessed

changes in attitudes
changes in perceptions

within this time frame

so much so that

for example at
PARIS OLYMPICS 2024

there was a Nigeria Lady
who had been given Bahrain Citizenship
and
who won a SILVER MEDAL for BAHRAIN
in the SPRINTS.

i am referring here to
SALWA EID NASER
( i.e EBELE AGPAPUONWU )
who is rumoured to be originally from
Onitsha in Anambra State, Nigeria.

interestingly,
Rihanna nmaah nm
Rihanna nma nm,
she was not the only Nigeria athlete who
had been given the citizenship of another country and who won a medal at
FRANCE PARIS OLYMPICS 2024 representing the country whose citizenship they had been given.

i will Google Search to see if Google can help turn up the names of other Nigeria athletes who represented other countries at PARIS OLYMPICS 2024 and the medals they won, if any.

the point i am making here are is that it may not be
ACCURATE, CORRECT or FAIR
to single out only FOOTBALL
among all the SPORTS PROFESSIONS
considering that
Nigeria Athletes have
PERFORMED SUPERBLY VERY WELL
in many different sports
INTERNATIONALLY
and
HERE IN NIGERIA i.e LOCALLY
in the immediately past 60 years
