What's happening to the Nigerian male athletes? All the 9 gold medals that we have won have come from the ladies.

We just don't have the culture. The atmosphere seemed different from what i see in other places. The stadium was virtually empty. The announcer was also mediocre. twa.

The attendance for the athletics events may have been a reason Abuja was denied the rights. It wouldn't have looked camera-friendly to see only 2000 fans in a 60,000 capacity stadium. I recall it was only the volleyball finals which came close to attracting a capacity crowd in 2003.

My thoughts exactly. It's not always about the facilities you have but also whether or not there's a sports culture. We're just not there yet as far as hosting such competitions are concerned. We should focus on alleviating poverty first before hosting global events. The All African Games was embarrassing enough despite all the money spent.

okay thanks bro. Now we are a force in weightlifting( definite) can we start a thorough focus on regaining swimming.not backyard swimming, but PROFESSIONAL SWIMMING. It has evolved more than just diving in and moving in water. Deltans and Akurs(akure) are very good in that. South africa sef!

Ok. That's not too bad, but if it wasn't free it would have a lot lower.

If Nigeria were to host the African athletics championships, the AFN should choose one of Uyo, Warri or Abuja as last choice cheesy

Yep, you summarized the situation succinctly.
I heard somewhere that Nigeria may bid for another CWG in the future; but the immediate goal should be the bidding for the FIFA Women's and Men's World Cup.
