Is there hope for Nigeria?

Two out of the three Olympic athletics gold medal hopefuls for England have Nigerian origins?

Obikwelu's gone to Portugal

na today, if ur an ardent sports fan you'll recognise that nigerians are repping other countries the worldover,its nothing new.

a fews years back there was this igbo chick that was running for the same uk . . . . nothing new

What do you want them to do when they are not valued?

9ja sabi only football oh

really sad isn't it

This is because Nigerian Sports Authorities treat Nigerian Athletes like Cattle. THe stories I have read today are really sad.
When Nigeria's only Gold Medalist in the Olympics for individual competition says she wished see had of followed fellow athletes and changed her citizenship is really cuts to the core of what is wrong with the Nigerian Amateur Sports System.
No wonder athletes have gone to places like Spain . Portugal and England to compete for more appreciating nations. Until the President get rid of the rott or the attitude with sports authorities that Athletes are the Prime Stakeholders and not Cattle to make money from then Nigeria will under achieve greatly.
