Beancounter94: Ones in a while, moneyed individuals, altruistically building facilities for the leasure of young people, helps. What would it cost some of the wealthy individuals that rather spend millions on arms to militants, or political goons, simply erecting domes with artificial hills, deeps and valleys for young people to play in equipped with skate boards and climbing equipment, bmx cycles for hire, shooting galleries, archery, snooker or billiards, bowling alleys etc, etc? I used to attend an ice skating arena where i lived. For a pound you’d be provided with skating boots brought out from the store room to use for an hour or so. Domes are simple yet effective and pleasing looking structures to build. State governors could build lots of domes that cater for wide variety of sports for young people to try. People in the community for whom they are built will help fund some of the maintenance by being charged affordable small amounts of money or in exchange for helping around the place . There's so much to do in Nigeria, so much opportunity due to so little on the ground, that militancy should be the last thing on any young persons’s mind. I bet that within just 4 square miles of wherever anyone lives in the UK there are more facilities for young people to go do sports leisure activity than all of Delta state Nigeria for instance. 2 Likes |

@litmus even when you build, surprise, surprise the people will hardly use the facilities. It is just not in the "Nigerian" mentality. We need to introduce such mechanisms via the primary and secondary school systems. |

otokx:For how long have we been saying this? The Olympics will end and Nigerians will forget about it. Another 3 years time, we will start preparing again few months to the event. Look at the Jamaicans and their ISSA secondary school championship. That's why they do well in track and field. Africa has failed again at this Olympics. South Africa, Ethiopia and Kenya are struggling in areas where they used to do well. Nigeria did not even qualify for football. I don't see any African country winning above 3 gold medals. Again the worst performing continent at the Olympics by a long chalk. We can do better. 1 Like |

We still have Adijat Idris to represent Nigeria in wrestling. Let's hope she wins a medal. The wrestling team has done better than the others for Nigeria this time around. |

On the bold you are right that we have taken things for granted. South Africa that is outstanding in swimming hasn't had it easy in these games. Kenya and Ethiopia for them it's no longer a birth right they will dominate long distance races. Nigeria as this olympics has shown has undoubted potential but we are still in the grips of terrible admiration, poor funding and lack of proper grassroot programs to identify potential world beaters. If Nigeria can get her house in order before 2024 things might improve but it's looking like a hard task. obaaderemi: 1 Like |
