Distant 2nd.

Very unfair, look at the big picture, Egypt is an extremely well organised country with professional sports administration at a high level in some cases on a par with Europe. Same as South Africa and Morocco to name a few.

Nigeria coming second despite poor and corrupt administrators and facilities as well as a pathetic level of sports administration shows the resilience of our athletes.

The hoops a Nigerian athlete has to go through to win their medals, Egyptian ones wouldn't make it to the Games if they did, never mind competing and winning medals.

Well done to out athletes, truly Naija no dey carry last.

And when the main Olympics start, how well has Egypt performed?

You're always winning in Africa but don't even come top in the Olympics when rating African countries at the event.

It's because the sporting area of their strengths have already been conquered by USA / Russia / France / China etc with better training infrastructure.

They will have little competition in Africa in those sporting areas due to their population (being significantly whites).

I never knew a tournament of this magnitude was going on. This competition wasn't given the well-deserved publicity at all.

It is because economic issues that has besieged Nigeria.

We are all xtreemly busy now trying to see if we can meet up with our basic needs. Even me , I have not gotten 1 second to check what is going on there.

The 2023 All African Games which began on March 8 in Ghana has come to a close with Nigeria finishing overall second with 47 Gold, 34 Silver & 40 Bronze medals.

Team Nigeria led in the Athletics event with 11 Gold, 6 Silver, 5 Bronze medals and Boxing category with 8 Gold, 2 Silver, 2 Bronze medals.

Like in the All-African Games in 2015 and 2019, Nigeria finished second-best to Egypt with host Nation Ghana, out of the top 5.

Congratulations, Team Nigeria

The difference between the 1st and the 2nd place is just too much

What games did Egypt get most of their medals in? If we work on that, we can close up the gap in 4years and compete in about 10years.

Lol Population have nothing to du with this I don't know how you guys thinks....

Wether you're 40billion in Population and your opponent is just 12million in population you've the same slot....

All you need to do is figure out the best among you to represent you .. You can't pack all ur population to represent you....

That's the simple truth

No quota
No politician's candidate/list
No Villa list
No organising committee list
And so on

Nigeria needs to learn this and do well in the upcoming Olympics

How Nigeria didn't have swimmers during last Olympics is surprising
Hopefully, not this time

Don't tell me there are no blacks that have very flexible structure (even if their population is very few). The question remains "what are they doing with their uncommon flexible body structure??"

Call them and ask our youths "what they are doing with their uncommon flexible body structure"

They are simply not interested.

Let's congratulate our own Nigeria Athletes for their effort.

These men and women are a million times worthy and important than all Nigeria politicians put together.

You have done well Nigeria Athletes. Congratulations!

Funniest thing is that some of the parasitic politicians will still want to play with reward for them.

Basicend:

You are very wrong sir.

Swimming and gymnastics and related events are very many in the Olympics and All Africa Games. Blacks don't have relative strength in these sports because of the rigidity of our body and bones structure.

Please accept that our bodies are not as flexible as the whites.

In games of physical strength, we dominate always.

It is the area of their strength. Except the composition of the games are changed, even if we invest $100m in the training of our athletes, Egypt will come out tops.

We are lucky South Africa does not have much population, they would have overtaken us in second by now.

At the bolded

1.SImone BIles would like to disagree with you about black people not being good at gymnastics. Seeing as she is black and the most decorated American gymnast of all time.

2.Black people in the US are not good swimmers because decades of historical racisim meant that black people were excluded from public and private swimming pools. (IN one american town over 70 years ago, black people were allowed to use the pool once a week, which was kind of fortunate. IN some towns, they were never let near any pool).

3.Also, going back to Nigeria, sports that have a base in the schools are sports we are going to excell in. Swimming and gymnastics have no base at our school level. There aren't enough swimming pools, enough places for gymnasts to practice , and so on. (BY contrast, there are tons of althletics and football competitions. And a lot of table tennis. Naturally....)

4.And there isn't enough interest. NO interest, not enough athletes.

5.NO structure. Gymnastics, for example, requires training to begin when the athlete is very very young....to get the body used to being flexible from an early age. Nigeria does not have the structures to bring up gymnasts.

Cmeo:

The main question is "Why are many of these 105m youths DOESN'T have sporting prospects??" That deeply answer your question above.

Yes, that is a good question.

Our government is largely to blame. We don't have a vibrant sport ministry. And we focus too much on football.

Do you know that other sport federations like the Hockey Federation are almost totally responsible for their own funding? Yet the NFF is getting funding to the point that we even hear allegations of immense corruption.

Football is not the only sport in the world. The Ministry of Sport needs to be very much involved in Youth Development.

If we go to Maroko or Ilaje, we will find many swimming prospects there. Natural swimmers. They were born on water and live all their lives on water, and yet we are not dominating swimming, even in West Africa.

The Ministry of Sport needs to do more.

Swimming event will yapa, the place where they won most of their gold's in Ghana.

Swimming always carries lots of medals together with gymnastics, tennis, weightlifting etc. Na there most serious countries dey rack up medals. Make naija sef develop other aspects of sports in this country.

Re: 13th All-African Games: Final Medal standings as Nigeria Finishes Second by Bouncing2(m): 5:01pm On Mar 24

Nice one.

We were rated as a non sporting nation by one useless media outlet like that,
I saw how Cameroonians,Ghanaians and South Africans gloated over the useless list.

Now it’s clear for all to see.

Re: 13th All-African Games: Final Medal standings as Nigeria Finishes Second by worksmart(m): 5:09pm On Mar 24

Why does Egypt invest so much in sport?

It is usually a sign that the country is well developed and doing well, so on that basis Nigeria as a country is developing quite well, but likely attributed to the Buhari administration as the effects the delayed effects of Tinubu's disastrous administration has not yet noticeably impacted our sporting performance.

Egypt won many of the events, Wrestling, weightlifting, esp in the male categories... These events carry many medals unlike Athletics where we always do well.

How many events did they participate in that Nigeria didn't?
