Abstract.
As history could record, it is evident that women participation in sports has elicited a whole lot of controversies. Going by the Western world development, these oppositions, and misconceptions are getting behind them while Third-World countries including Nigeria are still battling with these misconception and discrimination emanating from culture, religion, illiteracy and poverty. This paper looked into some of the forces and factors delaying the improvement of Nigerian women in sports participation. It also examined the performance of females in sports, showing how they are overcoming some of the problems. Suggestions were also made that women in the legislative arm should sponsor the making of favorable laws that will encourage women participation in sports as it will affect sports administration, better remuneration, attract sponsorship and the investment in women sports among other things.
