“We just kind of grew up knowing what excellence was in our culture, and it’s just the staple and the standard ” – WNBA Champion/MVP & WNBPA President Nneka Ogwumike.

In honor of Nigeria’s Independence Day today, I put this video together to showcase some of the many talented Nigerian athletes in sports. I know I’m forgetting tons of people, so BIKO forgive me. These athletes inspire me and I want to continue to use my platform to highlight Nigerians on and off the field/court in the sports industry. That’s why I started this blog.

Please note that I do not own any of the footage or music…. I just did it for the Naija culture
