Nice one! Especially the part that he will soon convene a national retreat that will address critical issues in Nigeria Sports.... After watching american movies and seeing how they inculcate sports into their daily family lives and school curiculum I think nigeria has a lot to learn...we should build at least one sports court or pitch in almost every street in nigeria! There are open spaces available and if need be people houses should be bought by govt and converted to an open space for sports....just like redeem church is in almost every street in lagos. When these streets sports become popular,believe me individuals or coporate bodies will rush to sponsor them cause it will present them traffic audience to promote their products or services, cause when I come back from work I can decide to walk down to d sports court to watch a game which can be played both day and night, providing me a place to go and relax and be entertained....and these street sponsored tournements will grow from community/area to local goverment to state to national tournements, and you can imagine the talents that will be produced for national teams and individual sports from there...this should also be done in schools...I think every growing child should have one extra curiculum activity to be doing while schooling e.g sports music,art,acting,comedy,dancing etc, cause God has inputed at least one talent in everybody. And why is nigeria lottery industry money not being used by govt to grow our sports All those baba ijebu and coporate bodies promos taxes should go to sports, Cause I knw billions of naira can be gotten from there. 2 Likes |

please the government should stop this attitude of giving cash rewards to our athletes,no country in the world does this, even the spanish team that won the euros and the world cup were not given cash prizes by their government. |

Haba, N5m (less than 20,000 GBP) cant even buy a disabled access vehicle. Why do we continue to insult these good men and women who flew the flag and did us proud as billions watched world-wide? Meanwhile, our information ministry will gladly pay millions of dollars for a 30 second CNN clip on "Nigeria, good people, good nation" story. The Gold winners deserve disabled access vehicles and N20m cash in 5,000 naira notes please. 1 Like |

ebamma2: please the government should stop this attitude of giving cash rewards to our athletes,no country in the world does this, even the spanish team that won the euros and the world cup were not given cash prizes by their government. Below For Your Information Sir (source is Reuters but you can google it) The Spain captain, Iker Casillas, has hit back at criticism over the cash bonus each player will be paid if the European champions win the World Cup in South Africa. Reports in Spain suggest Casillas and his team-mates will each get €600,000 (almost £500,000) should they win Spain's first World Cup, the largest bonus among major contenders. A spokeswoman for the Spanish football federation would not confirm the amount, which was negotiated with the federation by Casillas and his two vice-captains, Xavi and Carles Puyol. 2 Likes |

I apologise to you my "superior" for even attempting to post an opinion on the matter when custodians of knowledge such as yourself are on this forum. But rather than insult sir, why dont you deliver a superior argument or position? But perharps you are more comfortable with raining insults on a Sunday evening? |

Was angry when I read that these guys that did us proud were not welcomed by any Government Officials when they arrived. But this move by the President to encourage and support this special ones is highly commendable!!!.Much respect for them. Ability in their disability!!!. Needless to say,None of the able-bodied athlete brought a single medal home!! Super chickens could not beat the Lone Stars of Liberia!!. Such shame!!! |
