Baro: National Sports Festival: Rivers, Delta lead medals table The National Sports Festival, which kicked off 4 days ago in Rivers State, shows the host and Delta state as joint leaders with 20 medals a piece Host of the 17th edition of the National Sports Festival, Rivers state, are joint leaders with the defending champions, Delta state, at the on-going competition. The competition which started 4 days ago, showed Rivers and Delta both having 20 medals, according to the medals table released by the games services committee and signed by its chairman, retired Brig-Gen Emmanuel Okaro. Earlier, chairman of Team Rivers, Boma Iyaye, had said he was happy with his team’s performance so far in the competition and that they would improve on its previous record by winning more medals. “We know, definitely that the big states, Edo, Ogun and Delta and Lagos, are breathing down our neck and we hope we will be able to beat them.” “And one thing you have to understand, I am sure , all our gold medals, there is no protest.” “That will tell you that we have been doing it and winning them and competitively not because we are hosts, but because our athletes are good,” Iyaye said. “We are not expecting anything less than the best. We expect our athletes to do very well because we have invested so much in them,” Iyaye added. His words however seem to be on track, as the medals table shows Rivers having 11 gold, 5 silver and 4 bronze medals but are joint leaders with Delta (both having 20 medals) on the medals table, who have 6 gold, 6 silver and 8 bronze medals. Akwa Ibom and Ogun states followed with a total of 11 medals. Akwa Ibom has 5 gold, 6 silver and no bronze medals while Ogun has a gold, 5 silver and 5 bronze medals. Edo and FCT have a total of six medals, Imo five medals and Cross River four medals. The committee said it would continue to update the medals table as the games continued. In the last edition of the games held at Kaduna in 2009, Team Rivers finished eight on the medals table. |

This whole thing is just a farce like the PDP elections down south 1st person will carry 200 gold then next person will be at 50. I went to watch taekwando the other day and it was just a waste of my time as those people will not do well in African competitions not to talk of globally. |
Re: National Sports Festival: Garden City Games 2011 (The Official Thread) by Afam4eva(m): 9:34am On Jul 10, 2011 |
This is ridiculous. How can a state which came eight in the national sports festival now turn out to win this one by a wide margin. Must we rig in everything? |

It's an absolute disgrace, if you are looking to gauge how corrupt this society is, this is a perfect case study!! Funny thing is most of these state coming tops would have done well if they just allowed things to go according to plan but no they import athletes, use players from clubs and even past Olympians and bulldoze officials |
Re: National Sports Festival: Garden City Games 2011 (The Official Thread) by mbulela: 4:56pm On Jul 11, 2011 |
The festival must have been an avenue for govt officials to embezzle funds in their usual maner.i am sure even the buying of medals must have also been a money making venture. after making their millions, they should just manage to maintain the facilities they built. at least it will be useful to the common man. |
