United States based Nigerian professional female basketball player Odera Chidom has explained why she has decided to quit the Nigeria Women’s basketball team.
Odera announced her decision to quit in a Twitter post where she cited “lack of professionalism” from the Nigeria Basketball Federation for her decision to call time.
She said, “It saddens me to announce that I will no longer play for the Nigerian National Team.
“My purpose for doing this is to shed light on the lack of professionalism within the Federation and that it needs to change.”

Odera said that she would have loved to continue playing for the team but she said the approach undertaken in running of the basketball fedration in Nigeria is faulty.
“Of course I would like to continue to play for something that is bigger than myself and represents a country and Means so much to me and my family but the current Federation I just cannot continue to agree with the way that they do business,” she said.
