and the south African medals were all won by the white south Africans

kgold:

Congratulations to Blessing Okagbare . She deserves an award. If our leaders and followers were the 8th best in the world in their jobs...what a great country we would have. I love you girl... Go for it in the Long Jump.

stillwater: Her problem is having a good start. The potential is there. In fact we've always had the potential. Back then in secondary school there were girls and boys that if given a chance to develop would be giving the Jamaicans and Americans a tough run. Talking about ISL, Methodist girls, Apata. Those Methodist girls, wow. If only the government would take this seriously .

rume:

Her heat was ok but her semi and final starts were just not good. She expended so much energy catching up in the semis.
Talking about potential, I cry, I really do, here I am wasting away after such a great time running in school. If only, things turned out differently... how can one train to world standard without support... so sad.

denzel2009: Jamaicans honed their skills by running away from Police every time they were caught selling igbo. If Naija police can reduce their bellies and run after area boys/girls we would have our own Usain Bolt.

When I said Nigeria may not win any medal,many were cursing and saying rubbish.Nigeria is a failed state, you can't give what you don't have.We exported what we have to London olympics;Failure.

SmoothCrim: Lastly, tell your useless athletes to get rid of their losers mentality. After getting a world record set on your basketball team some of the players were saying it is an Honor to be part of the game where a world record was set on them!!


That is a HUGE losers mentality! You should be embarrassed going into the History books as the worst team in Olympic history and that video of the failure will be looped over and over until someone breaks the record which may not happen any time soon!!

Rastamann: What were you guys expecting/ Nigeria is a f--ked up country! Instead of preparing our athletics the so called sport administrators is more concerned with enriching their purses and this is the whole concept in Nigeria as a whole where we are blessed with all the needed resources except good rulers and governance..

ujchief: Waow! But she did beat camila jetar at the semi final heats to take 1st with 10.92. I was expecting a beter performance from her, jetar did improve on her semi's, but she got worse from 10.92 to 11.01.
Now, we're back to status quo. When is the closing ceremony again?

semid4lyfe:

You finished from ISL? I ask cos I remember some of those ISL boys & Girls and damn, were they fast.

You remember Coach Ijeoma right?

stillwater:

Noo, but my school used to invite them to run during inter-house sports. My school always struggled for fourth.

Lol, funnily enough those ISL athletes (Sprinters) were exempted from Morning Assembly and used to train at the Unilag Sports Centre every morning and no be small training o. . .thats why they were so good

Last I heard, most of them had taken up white collar jobs and grown fat with bot bellies E no easy to combine acada wit sports. . . .it's just the sad reality of life in Naija

Rossikk:

Come on shut the fucck up and sit down, let's hear word. Your mouth like ''instead of preparing our athletics''. THOSE ATHLETES ARE WELL PREPARED AND GAVE EVERYTHING THEY'VE GOT. Many of them even train in places like the US and co, like Blessing Okagbare herself, so training and preparation is NOT an issue. THE REAL ISSUE is that the pool of talent is limited because the strongest ones among us are too pre-occupied with ''making it big'' as lawyers, doctors, IT workers, engineers etc, and they LOOK DOWN ON ATHLETICS and sports. How many of us were excellent at soccer in secondary school? MANY OF US! I personally know at least TEN guys that were potential WORLD BEATERS in soccer from my secondary school days. One other guy I knew was so good at Long Jump that he outjumped everyone else in the school by a distance of at least three times the normal. If that guy had continued he would have been an Olympic gold medallist without a shadow of doubt. So what happened? We passed out of school and dropped it all because we were told by our equally dumb parents that sports was for poor folk and strugglers - the underclass. Well, the underclass lack the lifetime nourishment and even the confidence to take on, and beat the world. You can train them from now till eternity, they can never turn out to be the next Usein Bolt or Carl Lewis. Until there is a large enough pool of talent to choose from, which can only happen when the strongest and best among us decide to get out there and train and represent our country, forget about Nigerian athletes coming home with bags of medals. FORGET IT.

afam4eva: This is really disapointring. So, where are the medals going to come from again?
