But come to think of it, why and how is it that it is only Yorubas and Igbos who are doing this country proud both on the home front and international scenes and almost in every facet of life?
From time immemorial even to the contemporary
I’m I the only one seeing this?
Even in Football, either males or females, either Senior or Junior categories, it’s always either Igbos or Yorubas. Just Why?
Anyway, hearty congratulations to these medalist and all the Nigerian contingents
