dnative: Una no go make persin pop vein with laughter for this Nairaland. Rear Admiral nah old sea dog now Rear Admiral Festus Porbeni was, until his retirement from the Nigerian Navy, the minister of transport in General Abdulsalami Abubakar regime. He held many military appointments before becoming the minister of transport Anyhow, wishing our much maligned athletes a successful outing. |

Banking on the runners and Chukwumerije, maybe wrestlers. After watching our basketballers' game with Tunisia and US versus France, mehn, we'll be lucky if we lose with a 20-point deficit, both to US and France. Hard ball there, so I have no high expectations there, if they do good, fine, if not, well, they tried. GO TEAM NIGERIA |

pek: it is 2 gold so far and not 3. It is 3 gold (not 2).One silver, 2000 Sydney Olympics (4x400) metres relay has been changed to gold by IOC courtesy of drug test failure by the American Quartet. |

miteolu: Why should you expect five golds considering the state of sports in Nigeria? You make it sound like Nigeria has spent more money than many other countries that win medals. Many of these athletes have had scholarships from many different sources and some have self funded. It is so easy to write them off for not bringing gold... the athletes of other countries have not come here to peel bananas, have they? miteolu:[quote author=miteolu] Sir, I was just wondering if you were an athlete? I am genuinely asking - not being sarcastic or abusive. Thanks |
