Newly promoted Kano-based Nigeria Immigration Basketball Club may have put all feet wrong in the Savannah Conference of the DSTV Premier Basketball League as they are yet to win any game losing both at home and away.
There are speculations that the club might not survive the heat of the league in Nigeria.
But one of their players, Nosa Omorogbe Junior, is sure that though the club might be going through trying moment in the league, it will survive relegation at the end of the regular season.
Speaking with www.nigeriasportsnews.org, Omorogbe Jr., said it is too early to write off the club as there are still over ten regular season games to be played.
He said the players and coaching crew of the team have resolved to put in extra effort to make sure the club survive the tough terrain of the Nigeria DSTV Premier, which he described as one of the toughest in Africa.
The point guard said what the club is going through at the moment should be seen by his teammates as their first baptism of fire in the big league after gaining promotion from the National Division-One in Kaduna last year.
The 21-year-old, who played a prominent role in Immigration’s qualification to the Premier League, has promised to put in extra effort to see that the team losing streak stopped.
