Some that is Suppose to represent her country like every other person that will representing his/her in the Olympics have to beg her fans for funds.
Now whose name was dragged to the mud, hers or Nigeria's?
Shame to you Nigeria!!!!
Bigger Shame to your leaders!!!
So many thing is wrong with Nigeria as country. The funny part is that people still pretend like every is alright.

This is the time for Airtel, MTN, and the other companies that sponsor beauty/musical contests to come to the aid of Nigerian athletes.
This is a shame and a reason why athletes long before now have been switching citizenship

Quakertellicus1:


Once upon a time there was a Nigerian athlete who was getting $2000 monthly from her government, and she was expected to use that money to transport herself to meets and pay her coaches.

Now said Nigerian athlete was based in a European country where her mates were getting $24000 monthly from their government and had free coach plus two physios to book.

Of course, Nigerian athlete changed citizenship.

And we also had a male athlete who changed citizenship one year....and the next turned up at the National Stadium at Surulere with a cool 4WD.(Which he could not afford when he was a Nigerian. And he eventually won a Olympic silver medal).

I am not defending Buhari. But these two tales happened long before PMB or even GEJ took over. Poor funding of track and field athletics did not start yesterday. Add the fact that most of our sport associations are run poorly (and often by the same old corrupt bureaucrats).

You expect PMB to find money for these athletes? When GEJ could not find money for them with high oil price?

The problem is that in Nigeria....athletics needs money. Lots of it. And I doubt AFN would be giving any athlete 20000USD a month in a country where people are lucky to see 400 USD monthly.

Anyway.....private sponsorship is the way froward. Govt does not have the cash.

Kakamorufu:
Too bad. Whats the function of the govt. Isn't it to release cash for them athletes and make them motivated

Dat one na grammar u speak ooo.... for buhari mind, em no send u message ooo... if u no like go, no go; e no concern the niggar ooo...

kidman96:
Very good. The various sporting organisations. Should source for funds and sponsorships instead of depending on the Federal Government. They are going there to make names and money for themselves.
Everybody dey roast for this country now.




Infact they should stay at home so they don't come back with zika virus.
