Is football the only interesting game in Nigeria

Recent happenings around our sporting life has made Football to be an opium of sort.When Nigeria did not qualify for Nations cup,some people quickly called for the head of Eagles Talisman,Samson Siasia.In similar vein,Nigeria played Rwanda in Kigali a goaless draw and it seems many people are preparing their Trumpet to make a loud call for Stephen Keshi's head too.But the NFF in their characteristic manner quickly ran abroad and source for a Foreign Technical manager to work alongside Stephen Keshi,what this trend portend is dangerous as it shows clearly that the only sport that brings fame to Nigeria is Football whereas sporting activities like Boxing,Athletics,Wrestling and a host of others were once household names in Nigeria.It is high time we look inward and explore other games apart from football.Even the football that we love in this country is foreign/imported football such as English premierships,La-Liga,UEFA Championships,Italian serie-A and a host of others.Our Local league has suffered so much that i cant remember when last we have had full capacity crowd at our local stadia across the nation when teams like shooting stars of Ibadan is playing Enyimba Of Aba.The lackadaisical attitudes of our sport administrators over the last 2 decade is worrisome,except in football and athletics,Nigeria has had no improvement of sort in other games,looking at the trend we might not qualify for any major events internationally or region wise comes another 2 decade if the trend is not reversed.I just wish we could revive other sports apart from football and see what will become of our economy,games such as mountain climbing can attract tourist which is a source of foreign exchange,swimming too can attract a whole lot of foreign participants and at the same time expose our local athletes,beach soccer which Nigeria just won the current edition is another aspects of football with entertainment background and a form of relaxation,so much can be seen of other games in terms of prospects and revenue generation but our govt has turned the football house in Abuja to a CASH-COW where every kitten,lamb and calf milked.May God open their eyes to the opportunities in other games before we bid football farewell in this country.Lekan Olanite
