"I`D LIKE TO SEE THE COUNTRY SUPPORT US JUST LIKE THEY SUPPORT THE SUPER EAGLES" - D`TIGERS` CAPTAIN IKE DIOGU


After an amazing performance in front of the home fans at just concluded round of the FIBA World Cup African Qualifiers held in Lagos, the captain of the senior men`s basketball team, Ike Diogu made a heartfelt plea to Nigerians to support the national basketball team.

DTigers won all three games played in Lagos to finish top of Group B with a 6-0 unbeaten run. When asked what message he had for Nigerians ahead of the next window, Diogu asked for support.

"Well, for us, we just need everybody`s support. For me personally, I`d like to see the country support us just like they support the Super Eagles. Because we have a chance to do really special things, not only in this next window but in the world championship itself. If there`s one thing I would urge, I would like more of the country to support us because we are doing our best to make you guys proud. And I think you guys will be very pleased with what you see when we do qualify for the world championship"

The second round of qualifiers is scheduled to commence in September where DTigers will play home and away games against Senegal, Cote D`Ivoire, Central Africa Republic, Rwanda, and Mali. The world cup itself is scheduled for China in 2019.

The senior women`s team - DTigress - who are current African champions, will represent the continent on the world stage later this year during the Women`s basketball world cup in Tenerife, Spain.

Top 10 Embarrassing Moments In A Lagos Bus

Every minute spent in a public transport in Lagos gives you unique experiences about life. The memories are meant to be forgotten and only to be recalled when you are smiling down on it from the top because of the awry nature of the numerous occurrences. Below are some of the several awful experiences I have learned to laugh over to ease my frustration: (1) Entering without your change:[/b] Imagine the look on the ever angry-looking conductor when you offer him a sum of N500 or N1000 for a payment of N50 after he must have given you a prior warning before boarding the bus. This could lead to undue attention in the vehicle. [b](2) Sitting with a passenger with an armpit and mouth odour: This is paramount to our ''mommies'' in the in the trading business especially the Igbo women selling Okporoko, Ugwu leaves and other soup ingredients.
