Three days to the end of the 2016 Rio Olympics, Team Nigeria took delivery of the much awaited kits after most of the athletes had concluded their events with some already back to their bases.

A top official of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria who disclosed this to Sports Vanguard Thursday, said the kits which arrived Wednesday night would no longer serve any purpose because “most of the athletes have left after concluding their events”.

He added that “I have never experienced this in my years in sports. Money meant for the Games was held tightly by ministry officials and they were just releasing money piecemeal. We had to buy kits on our own while some athletes competed in their personal kits.”

It would be recalled that Team Nigeria had to resort to their warm-up track suits for the match past of the Opening Ceremony as the sports ministry claimed the official attire which was showcased before President Muhammadu Buhari during the hand-over ceremony in Abuja failed to arrive on time for the ceremony.

Nigerians who were alarmed by the embarrassing scenario condemned the ministry for the untidy handling of the athletes’ kits but the sports minister, Solomon Dalung, in defence of the ministry, tweeted with a post that even the South African contingent appeared at the Opening Ceremony in their track suits.

“I have never experienced this in my years in sports. Money meant for the Games was held tightly by ministry officials and they were just releasing money piecemeal. We had to buy kits on our own while some athletes competed in their personal kits.”

And the silly minister still had the temerity to blame Jonathan.

God will repay APC in tenfold.

Make ya own is ready..

gej is to be blamed according to the beret wearing broom waving demon

So Amazing...
Maybe the kits are for the next olympics which will be hosted by Nigeria.

Solomon Dalung is a symbol of failure. He has nothing to offer Nigeria!

"the kits are for Paralympics not this ongoing summer Olympic" - Solomon Dalung.

How did we even get to this point?

I say again, "winning is not magic".

The heights attained by great men was not done by a sudden flight. But they while men slept, were toiling through the night. This is the secret of success.

Not this everyday media politics, media victory with nothing on ground. Was there even any Nigerian broadcasting station there live at Rio?

In saner climes, Minister for Sports would have jejely tendered his resignation. But mbanu. For where. Even VP Osibanjo that I thought would be a different breed, same old sad story.

Everyday I sleep and wake up, I ask God to help me provide alternative Nationality for my unborn kids, so they have options and fully explore their potentials. The country called Nigeria is not working!

ha that one early sef lol

LONG OVER DUE.

Uhnnnnmmm Nigeria! !!!!!!!! What a country

If I laugh now when I remember the words of a man who called this nation a zoo, the afonjas will start attacking me!

Nigeria! Don't cry there is hope, a new Generation is coming to wipe away your tears!

And we say we have a country. I don't blame anyone who calls this country a zoo. Indeed we are really in a zoo.

APC has taken NIGERIA 16 steps backward in all aspect. We all regret voting in BUHARI. With the way things are going/changing I Pray we live to see 2019.

By the time Buhari is done with Nigeria, even our map won't look the same again.

Smd

Minister for sports should resign immediately! This is too much to take..

Dalung is shameless and has a bird brain! His Twitter handle has more brains than him. Is nigeria really a country??

Somebody make Mikel Obi/Joseph Yobo the new minister of sports

I want to see if they will blame this on PDP, APC and archiving failure be like

Very soon, they will start distributing food to those that starved to death in IDP camps.
