Nigeria participated in three sports (Table Tennis, Basketball, and Badminton) on Day 5 at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics.
Nigeria’s table tennis sensation and Africa’s top-ranked player, Aruna Quadri suffered a surprise defeat in the men’s singles after a 2-4 loss to Gustavo Tsuboi of Brazil in the Third Round.

Also, Nigeria’s women’s Basketball team, D’Tigress put up a good fight against the United States American Basketball team, losing 72-81 in the preliminary round Group B opener at the Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo. The team will be back on the court on Friday for their second Group B match against the French team.
Elsewhere in Badminton, Nigeria’s representatives (Godwin Olofua, Anuoluwapo Opeyori, and Dorcas Adesokan) in the Badminton event exited the Games after suffering losses in their final group round matches on Tuesday.
What is happening with Nigeria na, they have not won the least one 🏅 medal please let us pray for them.
The problem is coming from our selfish leaders they don’t care about people or some kind of things they are supposed to be concerned about it is only their selfish needs.
Just take a look at the sport sector, all our citizens are going to immigrate in another country and Making name for them .
Please the money is for everybody and they should use it for everyone and also they should also invest their time and money on other things like sport and the rest.
