Nigeria is a country where people love sports and can go extra mile to express their love for it. Yes! we love sports and that's the reason why Nigerians make a bulk section of the Sporttalk platform. Despite our love for sports there are still some sports we are hardly interested in due to some factors such as poor funding, lack of interest on the part of sports fans and some other facts
Without wasting time, I bring to you 5 popular sports that Nigerian sports fans barely pay attention to
1.Baseball
When it comes to ball sports, baseball is that popular sport people here barely pay attention due to their personal reasons. I've lived almost three decades of my life in Nigeria and I've never seen people gather at viewing centre watching baseball unlike like football or boxing. Baseball is a sport that doesn't pull crowd here.
2. Golf
source
Of course almost every sport fan here knows about great golfers like Tiger Woods, Justin rose and a few other but it doesn't change the fact that most people are barely interested in such a sport here. If you check world golf ranking you will not even see any Nigerian on the list. In fact, this is not about Nigerians alone but Africans in general.
3. Cricket
source
In one of old posts I said I personally don't like Cricket and the reason is this; most people here have one or two reasons why they detest cricket and that's why you will barely see them watch it. The sad truth is that some sports are not lucrative here and cricket is one of them. If you check the sportstalk you will observe that you hardly see Nigerians writing about cricket
4. Hockey
We have hockey teams and they always represent us in both local and international tournaments. Hockey is an interesting game which I like very much but I really don't know why people don't pay attention to it like they do to football. Aside, hockey, Nigeria does not participate in ice hockey at all because snow does not fall here, so it's definitely not for us.
5. Rugby
SOURCE
Rugby is a contact sport game based on running with the ball in your hand while your opponent will chase you just to prevent your from crossing their line. As ugly as it sound, I doubt if any Nigerian Sports fan can mention the name of any rugby player because it's a sport that doesn't pull crowd here
I just told you the sports that don't pull crowd here
I hope you enjoyed this?
Thank you for reading and have a nice day 😎
i hope they should be focusing on these sports as these are the most loved sports all over

Really! I think have heard something about ''Rugby Football'' before, or is this just a personal thing?

Rugby is not Football - read the actual article you've just screenshot the name of and you might learn something. Then come back and we'll have a sporting discussion about the differences between Rugby and Football

Really! Well, since you are one sporting genius, why not brief me instead, and i will get you some fact which you need to read to understand more about rugby football.
From Aussie rules to Gridirion, i think they all have a claim to the name ''Football''.(You can elucidate more on this if i'm wrong though).

The content carries some element of football in it. What about Rugby? Isn't it a member of the football family
Dude, as a member of Scorum, I've known you to be attacking the OP at the slightest chance and I'm surprised the same thing is repeating itself here on Sportstalk.
When you're being attacked of being a racist you hate such a tag but it's a pity it's written over you
Shame on you man!

Ohh! Now i see where this actually bridges from! I was surprised with the term ''Not Football related''comment, not knowing he had grudges towards the Author.

''Personally''..You've just shot yourself man!
Spam!!! I don't consider this a spam, if it does look like a Spam, then you need to let the person handling this #Spamming stuff do their work or perhaps they will assign you to this on their behalf. If so, then I think you've some serious cleansing to do. I've seen some #Sportstalk users spamming the platform with stuff like ''Hi'', ''Hello'', ''Good'' with tons of huge upvotes on this trashy comments. So why not start from their first. But NA, since you have some issues with the Author, I think you will rather focus on him, which i believe ain't healthy for the Sportstalk tribe. If at all, you found something fishy about the Author, you should at least inform him before taking any drastic measures.

First, you need to understand what football means. You are mistaking football for soccer.
I didn't make that up. Any sport that involves using the leg to kick the ball is football, and Rugby plays a perfect example here. I'll advice you take down your flag; you can't bring personal issues here. The only abuse I see here is from you - Power abuse! There are people handling cases like this. Let's see who will end up getting the main flag because I'm planning on reporting this.
