:( We Lost The Bid To Host The Commonwealth Games! :(

It was anounced this afternoon that we lost the bid to host the 2014 commonwealth games. What a sad news. !!!

too bad. . . at least no one will steal money

You only need to see my face and attitude today ( as I am the only Nigerian in my office, a scottish, glawegian  firm) while everyone held their breath to hear the announcement on the news. They were so eager and particular about it that an extra 15minutes was added earlier to the lunch break which normally starts at 1.00pm so that we could all view the bid result at 12.45pm. Glasgow got 47  out of 71 votes. You only need to read this [/http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5iyiwJiyixrZPSoh8JTzUhWMvBVRA]   and see our face of shame in terms of preparation. Poor Nigeria.

@ richlaw:
I'm sure every one in that office must have laughed you to scorn  and ridicule Poor Nigeria, Poor Preparation, and ultimately POOR RESULTS       _{what a shame; Good riddance to bad rubbish indeed}
