Nigerian Athletes: The Poorest Dressed At Glasgow Commonwealth Games by Akbee(m): 10:03am On Jul 21, 2014 |
Nigerian athletes to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland are the poorest dressed among the delegations that will contest for sporting honours when the events begin on Wednesday. Reports from Glasgow revealed Nigeria athletes have not been supplied with kits and as a result they are dressed in different colours unlike their counterparts from other countries who are rightly fitted with track suits bearing their national colours. Apart from those doing the track and field, all others have no kits. According to a senior Nigerian athlete at the Games, “it is an eyesore seeing Nigerian athletes in tatters,” he said, adding “some are even wearing bathroom slippers. “The athletics team was lucky to have their own personal kits from previous outings. Nobody has been supplied with kits and no one knows whether there will be any.” One country many colours: Nigerian athletes in a recent international event. He disclosed that since they arrived the games village in Glasgow, there hasn’t been any meeting with Nigerian officials. They have not been told on what to expect with regards to allowances or even conduct and other logistics that will inform their movements. The Nigerian team lacks organisation. “Most of the athletes are feeling dispirited here. We have not seen any of our officials and we are not happy with the situation. I don’t know why it has to be Nigeria all the time and it is quite a shame,” he said |

If they demand for money before competing now, some folks will be here criticizing them. How hard is it to kit a national contingent? |
