Ex – Super Eagles of Nigeria, Okwuchukwu Waobikeze has observed that sports development in Nigeria is going down.
\nAccording to him, grassroots sports is very important, without it, the administrators cannot get it right. So everybody should key into grassroots sports development, he said.
\nWaobikeze said this last Wednesday in an interview with sports journalists shortly after the Port Harcourt All Stars Independence football festival (OCTOBERFEST) at the Port Harcourt club, Rivers State.
\nHe explained that for sports administrators to get it right, grassroots development is key. \u201cThey should be organising competition at the grassroots level to fish out the young ones for different sporting activities.
\n“Grassroots sports is very important so the administrators have to go back to the grassroots.
\n” Sports Development in Nigeria is going down we need to go back to the basics.
\n“Look at the just concluded Paris Olympics, Nigeria did not win any medal.
\n” Our football team did not even qualify for the Olympics. We are going down.
\n” If they should go back to the grassroots, they will get young ones in the games and talents will be developed.
\n” I started from school games, to youth games before playing for the national team. Now everybody wants to fly board to play professional football and a lot do not know the basics of the game.
\n” A lot of people did not know the little things about the game, they just want to play. It is not done so,” Waobikeze stated.<\/p>\n
