Medals are won by people who have worked hardest not by those who have prayed hard. Very true. Prayer makes you lazy . . . it is time we started beating this into the head of our young ones, right from kindergarten. Lets make hard work our priority and learn what real dedication is all about. No more lazying around and hoping God will come to our rescue. There is no God anywhere. We are all there is. And hard work, dedication and total passion is all the God we need. 1 Like |

Great speech! I will keep this and open in 4yrs time Only that it reminds me of a great speech made by Jonathan, nearly 3 yrs ago when he swore in his Ministers (i.e. after the Yaradua is alive/dead debacle). At the time, that speech convinced me Jonathan was the real deal but now.... I just have this feeling that it's all words but I hope it translates into action |

So Jamaica is economically better than Nigeria? What kind of speech is this? Using one country's rise to generalize. I wish the minister will watch a documentary on Usain Bolt's training regime. The Jamaicans train in one old cricket club with little or no modern facilities at all. What drives them is a passion and desire to succeed. The athletes know if they can do well at major competitions they are made for life - world recognition, endorsements etc. That is what we need to drum into our athletes. Sacrifice does pay. It is not always about instant gratification. Be proud to represent your country. 6 Likes |

wat was written in speech was ok, but the solution given was 1000% rubbish. Start discovering talents from National sport festival is d same old thing. Nothing good can come from it. |

Its a very nice speech and what's making me feel one professional guru from somewhere was paid to write this very spirit-lifting speech because no minister under GEJ can ever make all this suggestions & plans come to pass under this administration. We're talking of basic amenities; Food, shelter, light, water, security, good education & health. You're talking about sport........

@Any Pen, The Minister actually wrote this> He is indeed very intelligent. He made a first class/distinction at Sussex University in Development Studies. He is a winner of the Chevening Scholarship. A great mind.Check him out! |

How many hurdle sticks are in the whole of Nigeria? How many Nigerian school children have seen a pole vault? Where can a child go trow javelin in the whole of Lagos? How many Nigerian school children have held a shotput in their hands? And I hope you are not counting the North in any sports equation as it is largely a waste land. There are more soccer pitches in some London neighborhood parks than the whole of Lagos. Let us face it, THIS COUNTRY HAS FALLEN. 1 Like |

The Honourable Minister's comments are accurate.Sport is about cash.It is business.In Cote d'Ivoire,I know that the funds that are used to run Sport Federations are gotten from private companies. The government assigns certain sports to companies as their corporate social responsibility and that is how tournaments are funded year round.We could replcate the same model here. |

Sports is a science, you need to be trained in the physiology and physics. Nutrition, appropriate muscle development etc. You need a proper sports program as the minister said, we need sports physiotheapists,sports doctors,nutritionists etc.We need to start now, in the UK and America, the schools and Universities have well equipped sport complexes and that is where talents are developed. |
