Even she herself couldn't believe it, I give it to the Jamaicans for the strength and agility which they exhibited so far in the race.


But kenyas are still the baba for running, my uncle once told me how they chased lions and other wild animals miles away from their residence on barefoot.

You mean long distance running. Because I have never seen Kenyan win Olympic 100m or 200m

Beancounter94:


No it is a sign of how African countries don't spend enough on athletics.

Like now, does your state, for example, have a year long, interschool athletics league that runs all year...(thought not).

Does your state have a basketball league that covers all the schools in your state...from primary to secondary school? (Thought not)

Is there a similar competition for the tertiary institutions in your state (nothing ).

And again, when your local government chairman is talking about sports development what does he mean ? (A) FOOTBALL, b) football c) football d) football e) Gymnastics .

How many of your youth play other sports (apart from football and possibly athletics ) in your state...and by youth I mean 5-18 year olds.?

How many coaches are there in your state for the following sports? Basketball, wrestling, volleyball, tabletennis, weightlifitnng, etc etc.

Does your state university or any provate indiuvidual have a sports research institute ?

What programme does your state have for training future statrs


Finally...how much does Nigeria spend on sports in a year a) 400 billion dollars or B) 4 BILLION dollars, or c 4 MILLION dollars. How much does that compare to medal winners like the US, Australia or Canada?

The problem is not the rotten state of the zoo. The problem is, like most African coutnries, we don't have the cash or the people or the expertise to win medals. Fixing that requires we stop relying on oil and diversify our economy, get more people interested in more sports from grassroots up, or train more people, and so on.

Even if we split Nigeria, I guarantee that Biafra would have the same problems, or OODUA or many other nations. As long as all we think of is football.

It's not true the zoo is so corrupt and rotten that noting works. All this things can be fixed with either split the zoo or total regional system so all man can compete and develope their God given potencial .

But what about Ethiopians ? They've been a success at many Olympic games .

Nbotee:
A Nigerian made it to the 100m final for the first time but had a disappointing race. He's d second Nigerian Athlete to have muscle pull while racing

EFCC needs to investigate the muscle pull.

vincentjk:


Why say so?

because he is an irredeemable shameless liar.

Bifwoli:

Yes but accolades ought to go to Jamaicans for what they've done in this competition.
