Sports247 reports further that Kida stated as much while celebrating the successful surge of the Nigerian sextet in the 2026 National Basketball Association (NBA) draft, which he said shows that the country continues to produce world class talents in the sport of giants.

He eulogised the emergence of Ebuka Okorie (17th Overall Pick, Oklahoma City Thunder, subsequently traded to Detroit Pistons); Zuby Ejiofor (23rd Pick, Atlanta Hawks); Otega Oweh (41st Pick, Miami Heat, traded to Oklahoma City Thunder).

Other Nigerians in the 2026 draft are, Felix Okpara (46th Overall Pick, Orlando Magic); Tobi Lawal (48th Overall Pick, Dallas Mavericks) and Ugonna Onyenso (53rd Overall Pick, Houston Rockets, subsequently traded to Detroit Pistons).

While wishing them all a successful rookie NBA season, Kida said he hopes they will represent Nigeria’s men’s national team, D’Tigers and acknowledged the roles played by parents, coaches, schools, academies and mentors in developing the lads.

Kida added, “On behalf of the Nigeria Basketball Federation, I congratulate these outstanding young men and their families on this remarkable achievement. Their selection is a testament to their dedication, resilience and unwavering commitment.

“Nigeria continues to produce world-class basketball talent. These young players further strengthen our nation as one of the premier sources of elite talent globally. We are proud and look forward to seeing them represent Nigeria with distinction.”

Instagram users could soon see more ways to tune their content, according to a recent post from Instagram head Adam Mosseri.

Specifically, Mosseri was showing off new ways that users might access Your Algorithm, a feature that allows them to specify which topics they want to see more of, and less of. Instagram launched Your Algorithm last year and has been introducing it to more areas of the app.

“We want to evolve Your Algorithm from a setting to something that feels central to your experience on Instagram,” Mosseri said. He also noted, “Some of this is testing now, some is coming soon, some might not work.”

The examples in his post include one where pulling down in your Instagram feed eventually brings up the Your Algorithm menu, and another where swiping up from a Reel could bring up a similar customization prompt. A third shows buttons beneath each Reel to indicate whether or not  you want to see more Reels like it.

The most popular comments on Mosseri’s post all make the same request. As one user put it, “WE JUST WANT OUR ALGORITHM TO SHOW THE PPL WE FOLLOW.”
