Nigeria is truly, blessed in all aspects of human efforts. Sometimes even this most populated black nation on earth is also described as the true “country of God”. And this is not at all.
This great nation like Phoenix has continued to lift and overcome its self -induced challenges. Despite the challenges of life that include all, sport have always provided Elixir and have also kept the dreams of millions of Nigerians firmly together.
In the early 1960s and 70s, they were athletics and boxing, which helped to put smiles on the faces of a people, leaving only from a debilitating civil war. And from that period, it has been football forever, snorting and snorting with triumphs and sometimes anguish.
Quickly until the moment, one of the sports, basketball not raralde, emerged to announce its presence and determination to give the most loved sport of the nation, a race for its money.
For a people with such extraordinary physical attributes, it is not surprising that the Nigerians are dominating the world of sport. And basketball is a sport, which testifies widely to the immense potential of Nigeria to be one of the best in the world.
From the position of simple competitors, Nigeria basketball has become a continental and global phenomenon. And in recent years, Nigeria has maintained a dominant and intimidating profile in the basketball community.
It is important to emphasize that we must note and recognize the companies of the national basketball teams of Men and Women of Nigeria, who can be attributed to the shared common objectives and the determination of the Board of Directors of Nigeria Basketball Federation, led by its tireless president, Eng. Ahmadu Musa Kida.
Kida climbed on board in 2017, as the captain of a basketball ship that was immersed in the dark waters of greed, corruption, the vain selfish chases and senseless by the previous Nbbf leadership.
Not surprised by the coherent negative vibrations of the past guide of the Board of Directors, Kida quickly showed her hands as a determined, altruistic and visionary leader, which is committed to positively change the narratives of basketball in Nigeria.
Ever since Kida, a former national basketball player, took the reins of the Nigeria Basket Federation from Tijani Umar, has been a wave raised for basketball in Nigeria, with the new fervor, attraction and the development of ENGR development. The LED table by Musa Kida.
The successes of the Nbbf under Musa Kida, include among many other incredible companies, winning Afrobasketball back-to-back championships; Make history as the first African nation to qualify its female and male teams for the Olympic games at a time.
OR
Spending finances and resources earned hard personal to propagate and promote the development of the game in Nigeria, with little or no financial assistance by the relevant sports authorities, Musa Kida, has remained stalled in his wishes to bring the game to utopian heights.
Even after his re -election as President of the Nbbf, he continued to endure and tempered with crisis and Shenanigans not requested, but induced by the greed by alleged interested parties. Underwater from the mentality of his translators, who have always pretended to be allies, Kina, however, brought to class, panache, high level of cunning and invaluable experiences, supported by her over three decades of experiences as an expert on a global level in the oil and gas sector.
Despite the Shenanigans within the basketball community, against each forecast, he obtained the divisions of the local basketball League one and two for women and men, running again, although with many logistical and financial challenges.
The Nigerians and, in fact, the interested parties and investors sincerely interested in the game, are also quick to accredit the high and unspeakable results of the Nigeria basketball federation.
We also notice that while Mali and Senegal had the opportunity to train and visit in Europe for about three months and playing high quality games, D’Aceress has only camped for a few days due to financial constraints, but all the opponents went on for brutalized, including Mali in the final.
In his words, the national coordinator of Friends of Nigeria Sports, the Cape Paler Thompson, described Kida as a visionary, altruistic and uncommon patriot, who continued to see the biggest images that paints a positive future for Nigerian youth through its different personal initiatives and, of course, the development of basketball in Nigeria.
Speaking to the presidential reception held in honor of D’Ap Tiger, the team was in unison in praise for the generosity for Musa Kida. They thanked him for his financial and physical supports for the team at all times. And this is another important testimony for his great leadership skills.
Nigeria’s basketball has never adorned and enjoyed in this euphoria and awards from its monumental and yes results, coming from the surprising companies of D’Adue, winning a consecutive Afrobasket championship and with the last victory, establishing unprecedented records for the African game.
I ask, these and many other successes could have been possible without the efforts of a patriot always resource and fiercely committed, such as Musa Kida and its members of the board of directors equally laborious and dedicated to the Nbbf? I say, no.
Musa Kida came, seen and, of course, conquered the African basketball landscape. It is a fact that anyone who happens him when the new Nbbf president arrives next year, has the tasks enviable to combine his giant steps.
Without a doubt, it would certainly have gone down in history as the best and greatest president of the Nigeria basketball federation ever. And yes, I join in millions of Nigerians, who prays for Engr. Ahmadu Musa Kida, to obtain its flowers and, of course, a well -deserved national honor, for its altruistic services widely recognized in Nigeria.
