I saw a video recently where someone claimed that Nigeria is “extremely underdeveloped” simply because we don’t have a rugby team or professional golfers.

I have to be honest, this perspective astonishes me.

In this episode, I’m challenging the idea that our level of development or sophistication as Africans should be measured by our ability to replicate European leisure activities.

Join me as I dive deep into why this mindset is actually a reflection of “bamboozlement” a confusion about our own African identity caused by the lingering impacts of colonialism.

Leave your thoughts in the comments: Should we be prioritising Western sports or refining our own?
