SmoothCrim: But Nigerians are more into education than sports. African Americans on the other hand are more into sports than education.. South Africa invests loads of money in sports, yet they hardly win medals in track and fields... Nigeria needs development and infrastructures right now - sports can take the back seat like Rosa Parks (no pun intended). |

This is the problem with Nigeria I believe. You officially have 170 million people but, the country functions like a 85 million people country! The Boko parts of the country don't care about sports and they are not found on any of your teams from football to basketball, to track and field. |

And who told you the population of Nigeria is 170million?? The population of Nigeria is probably around 100million max. |

shymmex: Yes, there is no point in sending 200 average athletes because, the Olympics is for world class athletes and that is why Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa together(over 300 million people) won less medals than Jamaica(2 million people) in recent years!! That is why I said it takes heavy investment and finding the talent early on. If you train your athletes like the Chinese you will win a lot eventually!!! |
Re: 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony Pictures by SmoothCrim: 5:44am On Jul 28, 2012 |
shymmex: 170 is the official number!! |

SmoothCrim: If you want to judge based on population, then China and India should sweep the medals... |
Re: 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony Pictures by SmoothCrim: 5:45am On Jul 28, 2012 |
shymmex: China does and is the USA's main rival for medals. India has the same problem as Nigeria |
Re: 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony Pictures by Nobody: 5:46am On Jul 28, 2012 |
SmoothCrim: And you believe 170million people live in that country?? |
Re: 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony Pictures by Nobody: 5:47am On Jul 28, 2012 |
SmoothCrim: China's population is like 4 times the population of USA - they shouldn't be rivals if we're to judge based on population.. |
Re: 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony Pictures by SmoothCrim: 5:48am On Jul 28, 2012 |
shymmex: China got the most medals in 2008!! |
Re: 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony Pictures by SmoothCrim: 5:50am On Jul 28, 2012 |
I am willing to bet that Kenya will get more medals than all of Africa combined! Who is up for it!!!?? |
Re: 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony Pictures by Nobody: 5:51am On Jul 28, 2012 |
SmoothCrim: That was because they were the host country.. Australia won the most medals in 2000, and USA in 1996.. |

shymmex: shymmex: Ben Johnson with all his steroids rage couldn't run the 100m at sub 9.70, but Usain Bolt did it at 9.58.. Haters man. Not all countries send representatives just to wave the flags. Some us are natural born competitors!! Got nothing to do with genetics but everything to do with our training and our diet!!

SmoothCrim: Lets be honest, East Africa will get 80 percent of the African medals. West African countries could dominate the Olympics if investment was done properly but, in all likelihood all of West Africa together will get less Medals than Kenya . In the end Kenya and Ethiopia will be coming home with most of the medals in Africa!! stamina... |

shymmex: We are a tiny island of 3 million. There are more jamos outside than on the soil. Even then, Americas population more than triples ours. Our boys destroying them in racing was an embarassment. America does not like to lose so rest assured they would have EVERY SINGLE JAMO tested...in fact in 08 They tested my man (Bolt) twice!! Negatiiiiiiiiive! So dont hate! |
