African American owned sports brand is outfitting Nigerian athletes for the Olympics

[papa pimp]

1 dude (opportunist) making a few garments is suppose to be an exemplar of pan africanism? Its sad the bar is that low.

Pan africanism working in only one direction like it alway does.

like clockwork

Anyway, fun fact:

“Merikens” are African Americans who fought for The British in 1812 and relocated to Trinidad & Tobago.

Aren't the Nigerians paying for the clothing though? Sure they getting jobs from the factory but ultimately the FBA breh owns the company. Both sides win here to me.

Been buying from them for a little while now. They make some nice stuff

Now that is what we need more of. We need folks to come together and work together.

It's dope that my ADOS breh got the opportunity to design Olympic clothing for a foreign country. I'm happy for him

 

[Buddy]

Just imagine what this is gonna do for the brand, especially on the continent. They just introduce themselves to 200 million in Nigeria alone




Now imagine if they blew it off listening to folks with I repeat: ZERO VISION beyond their phone screens Ain't shyt to say but "good for them" when folks make it happen tho maybe stop running interference. THAT will be "good for them" and others in similar shoes/objectives

Smart move
With the amount of Nigerians home and abroad, he has exposed himself to a huge market.

Also, technically, if they say you have to be from the country you make the garments for, he still winning by default because most African Americans have Nigerian lineage anyways.

Smells like the best of both

Seems like they are pocket watching/policing

I hope that brothers check was very healthy, they tend to pay in USD in Nigeria too so what a bonus.
