Why Nigerians Are Competing In Sports for Other Countries, Rio 2016 as a case study.

Rio 2016 has come and gone, But it's memories will linger forever.
It is so sad to see several talents who have been nationalised by different countries who probably appreciate them better that my darling NIGERIA.
My heart bleeds at the treatment been given to them by those at the alm of affairs. I'm sure many of them would easily switch if the opportunity comes because once beaten, twice shy.
We have them in different fields all over the world but belonging to other countries.
