Three days to the end of the 2016 Rio Olympics, Team Nigeria took delivery of the much awaited kits after most of the athletes had concluded their events with some already back to their bases.
A top official of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria who disclosed this to Sports Vanguard Thursday, said the kits which arrived Wednesday night would no longer serve any purpose because “most of the athletes have left after concluding their events”.
He added that “I have never experienced this in my years in sports. Money meant for the Games was held tightly by ministry officials and they were just releasing money piecemeal. We had to buy kits on our own while some athletes competed in their personal kits.”
It would be recalled that Team Nigeria had to resort to their warm-up track suits for the match past of the Opening Ceremony as the sports ministry claimed the official attire which was showcased before President Muhammadu Buhari during the hand-over ceremony in Abuja failed to arrive on time for the ceremony.
Nigerians who were alarmed by the embarrassing scenario condemned the ministry for the untidy handling of the athletes’ kits but the sports minister, Solomon Dalung, in defence of the ministry, tweeted with a post that even the South African contingent appeared at the Opening Ceremony in their track suits.

Nigeria government is like a proverbial madman that doesnt have shame except for his relatives that bears the shame. nonsense!

Kai, Nijeriyaaa!

Those days education had value but today education has lost its value because the educated ones are the most corrupt and greatest thieves in the Nigerian society.

Most times, it's shameful being a Nigerian

..Incompetence, Cluelessness, embarrassment, disgrace, tardiness all rolled in one..

..Still waiting for them to come and blame Jonathan..

Tell me for the past one year what about Nigeria that has come early? It's almost 6months for us just to have the same shitty Minister for sport we have now, we'll it's all good. It's part of the CHANGE

Nigeria should just go regional, this Mammoth can't be catered for

Please, where can I buy change of country form??

Solomon dalung is just an embarrassment.. ..if buhari fails to sack him then it means buhari himself rewards failures

byrron:
I will be putting Nigeria up for sale on Craigslist, eBay, Amazon and OLX any moment from now so as to bring an everlasting end to the endemic shamelessness the country and its handlers have been exporting worldwide on a daily basis.

Thought i should put all its inhabitants on notice about my intentions.
