Paralympic Athletes' Parade

where is Nigeria?

Finally a thread dedicated to the Paralympics........About Time I say if I am to be honest.

Is Nigeria not taking part in the games?

How many sports can they play?

Photos of Nigerian Paralympic Team....

The London Paralympic Games opened on Wednesday night and Nigeria was represented. It is set to be an inspiring 11 days of watching deformed, turned athletes show the world that nothing is impossible.
It was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who said “you can’t win unless you learn how to lose”.
These Athletes have suffered deformity that would have killed abled-body, however, they have learnt to come to terms with their loss. Basically, these Athletes have learnt to lose.
I am looking forward to watching blind footballers play 5 a-side football. I have also found out that there is wheel chair Rugby, how about that….wheel chair rugby, huh!
There also will be one legged swimmers, as well as amputee Volleyball players competing like its normal. I know that, after this paralympic games, my challenges will become insignificant.

For some reason, I feel like this opening ceremony was better than the one in July.

s3nn2x: Is Nigeria not taking part in the games?

How can u ask a useless question. If Nigeria with two couldn't do anything, what are dose people in wheelchair will do. No offense to the wheelchair bound people.

Nigerian para-olympians will not fall our hand like the olympians. They will surely win medals.

I know for a fact that the Nigerian paralympics contigent will perform better than there able bodied counterparts.

Very lovely pictures. Did Nigeria participate?

Better that the Olympics!!!

Nigeria if you cannot fight with iron swords it is time to try the wooden swords
