Dear D’Tigress, I am absolutely thrilled to see you advance to the quarter-finals of the Basketball event at the #Paris2024 Games! Your remarkable journey thus far has been a beacon of hope and revival for our sports community. Despite facing numerous challenges, your determination, love for your country, and trailblazing spirit have propelled you to this record-setting stage.
Watching you from the stand, compete in the qualification game against Canada was an exhilarating experience — I was on the edge of my seat, and your victory was a huge relief! Your achievement is a testament to your hard work and dedication. Keep pushing boundaries and making our Nation proud — aim for gold!
Your success serves as a clarion call for our Nation to prioritize sports development. In doing this, we must establish a robust framework to support our athletes and ensure consistent podium finishes in future Olympics.
By domesticating sports, we can tap into the unique strengths of each region — harnessing the aquatic talents of our Riverine states, refining the long-distance running abilities of our Northern athletes, honing the gymnastics skills of the Edos to international standards, and more.
Let us be intentional about nurturing our sports ecosystem, and we will undoubtedly unlock a brighter future for our athletes and our Nation’s sporting ambitions.
