Nigeria will be represented at the Winter Olympics for the first time ever, after their women's team qualified for the bobsled event at the 2018 Winter Games in PyeongChang.

Driver Seun Adigun and brakemen Ngozi Onwumere and Akuoma Omeoga completed the fifth of their required five qualifying races on Wednesday, becoming the first African team, men or women, to qualify in the Bobsled category.

In women's bobsled, teams are required to complete five races to qualify. The Nigeria team, led by driver Adigun - a former African 100m hurdles champion and 2012 summer Olympian - completed races in Utah, one in Whistler, and their final two races in Calgary on Tuesday and Wednesday.

"This is a huge milestone for sports in Nigeria," driver Adigun told KweséESPN. "Nothing makes me prouder than to know that I can play a small role in creating opportunities for winter sports to take place in Nigeria.

"Our objective now is to be the best representation of Africa that the Winter Olympics have ever witnessed."


Solomon Ogba, President of the Bobsled and Skeleton Federation of Nigeria, was understandably thrilled at the achievement, saying via a media statement: "I commend the personal dedication and commitment of these women.

"Their hard work was inspiring and I hope Nigerians can appreciate what it took for them to achieve this - the work, the discipline, and the personal sacrifices. They were amazing throughout this journey.

"They are all very successful people in their own right - in sports and out of it, and somehow they are still motivated and still push for more success.

"I have watched them train and work hard to represent Nigeria at the Winter Olympics in a very technical and high risk sport and they have achieved that. They should be very proud, and I am very proud of them."

Nigeria could yet secure another spot at the Games, with driver Simidele Adeagbo just two races away from qualifying for the Skeleton competition.

Yea!, cool running Naija mode

How did this manage to escape to the public

It did not. The current APC government have been borrowing since they came in. Senate just approved borrowing of $5.5 Million not too long ago. Do the math. We have very incompetent thinkers in the APC. And some will come here and rant total rubbish in support of an unimaginative government. Smh.

Some of them know you would rustle their livestock and livelihood according to the preachings of Nnamdi Kanu.

This is madness. And a lot of mad people roam Nairaland. Quite unfortunate.

Alariiwo:
They started stockpiling arms under GEJ to destabilize the country if they lose elections.

GEJ and his cabinet are all in the know of Ipob and their nonsense, Niger Delta militants and all.
Even a so called pastor Oritsejafor (CAN president for that matter) was caught trading arms for GEJ in South Africa.

The only saving grace Nigeria had was Buhari with his past Military record, coupled with the Army's readiness to deal ruthlessly with any troublemaker. Else Nigeria would have been history now.

See noise maker. The arms Fulani herdsmen where stock pilling in case Buhari loses was what?. Shut ya trap and stop spewing nonsense.

You can see the lies oozing out of his fat lips. How is it your concern how he spends his money?. Ask your people to pay up.

Ambode please come to our rescue in Ijesha Surulere as the major roads in Ijeshatedo Suruelre are in a dilapidated statte and are unmotorable. Some of these roads have been cotracted in the past but the project was done half way and abandoned.

The roads in the pictures below are that of Adeshina road a major road that links to the express and Omilani road.
We would appreciate if urgent repairs in carried ou on these roads. Thanks


mods abeg kindly take this to FP perhaps one of the govt officials can see it n they come n fix d road

LOL!!!. APC has been working na. You people want to start trouble with this pictures.

tsdarkside:
what does it matter?.....so long he is doing his job soooo what?....the word lai has nothing to do with lie....

how can you condem somebody to be a liar because his or her name is lai....??..do you call that fair??..which type rubbish democracy is that??..

we had somebody like goooooooodluck and many ended up dead......do you yeasterners think all nigerians are stvpid or what?....

what type of rubbish way of thinking is that....

The IMNI members that died under Buhari did not die right?. Keep your silly opinion to yourself.

AntiWailer:
Ignorance is not a virtue.

The banks are using the money and without them forfeiting the money to the Govt, the owner will still not get it.

If Govt did not do anything, the bank will not allow u access the money. There is debit freeze on all accounts without BVN


Secondly , no BVN means billions of stolen funds are in the banks and can not be traced to anybody.


So when they push your reasoning button to always think you are a victim, try and use your common sense.

They told banks to publish accounts so people can come and claim it.

So before you condemn Govt. Wait, think and ask yourself this sincere question :

Do u even understand what they are saying here ?

The government will not use it either for the betterment of the deceased family. Double tragedy.

Habyz:
It's funny how people display stupidity on the internet. Most you saying you will be shot dead if it were to happen in Nigeria have obviously never been close to a presidential motorcade.

Lol. Ohakims convoy beat a woman to pulp and smashed her car. She did not give them the middle finger. Happened at CMS Lagos when he was still Governor. Now Imagine if it were presidential motorcade.

agarawu23:
She can't


Virginia is an employment-at-will state, meaning employers can fire people anytime and for any reason.

She can move to another state that dies not operate like Virginia does. Would still get a job though even in Virginia.

Kobicove:
You think so...

Would you employ someone who has the potential to attract bad publicity to your company and damage your business?

It is actually good publicity. Wait till Muller put the pieces together, her employers will thank her.

whateverkay:
Donald Trump is a dictator. People insult Buhari everyday yet no one is loosing their jobs nor getting arrested. Buhari is truly a reformed democrat. God bless Buhari

You don dey smoke APC hashish abi?. Reformed Democrat my left yan$h. Nobody has dared that in Nigeria. Hope you will be the first to see how reforemd he is.

buchilino:
I UNDERSTAND HOW CORRUPT D LEGAL SYSTEM IS IN NIGERIA, BUT B4 I COME OUT IN PUBLIC N ACCUSE SOMEONE OF A CRIME, DAT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE AGAINST DAT PERSON. IF D GOVT HAS D EVIDENCE AGAINST GEJ, LET DEM USE IT. BUT AT D MOMENT D VP IS SOUNDING LIKE A WOMAN IN HEAT.

And even if they have evidence, where in the world have you heard someone being prosecuted for an offense he/she committed while under immunity?. Read the immunity clause till the last sentence.

FarahAideed:
Maybe if we allowed Jonathan to completely remove subsidy early in his govt like he planned to instead of sponsoring protests in Ojota then Jonathan govt could have been able to save more and plan better , May be if people like Buhari and other northern leaders had condemned boko haram instead of clandestinely providing them material and moral supporr to embarass the Jonathan govt then the govt would have had no need to spend so much much on military operations which were alway looted by senior military officers instead ...Two factors marred and derailed the Jonathan govt and they were Subsidy payments and and the Boko haram insurgency and actors in the current govt provided fuel to create those problems

A truth some will always shy away from. God bless you.

ivandragon:
for Metuh to be guilty, it has to be proven that Dasuki illegally released funds to Metuh & Metuh was aware that the funds were gotten from a questionable source...


Dasuki should be allowed to have his bail & access to documents he needs to defend himself, Nigerians want to see the 'end' of this matter.

that said, GEJ also needs to appear ASAP, that he was a supposedly good man does not exonerate him from probe. let a precedence be set so that when former heads of state/presidents are called to defend themselves in court, no one will raise eyebrows.

Go and appear him ASAP. It's obvious you don't know your constitution.

Bolustical:
Why is the 'Hero' of some people afraid of subpoena? Why?

Some days later now, he will take to Facebook preaching rubbish about the rule of law!

If you understand the context of his letter, you will understand it is same rule of law that grants him that. Unfortunately, you don't even know your own constitution. Try and get a copy.

If you answered yes and are in Lagos, attend this insightful workshop and your life will never remain the same

If this was posted on the 28th, and it is holding on the 31st, is that not too soon?. Just saying.

It's actually 250k. Just saying.

HIS ROYAL CLUELESSNESS

Wonder what title you will confer on Buhari?. His clulessness know no bounds.

DonCandido:
Assuming all these allegations are true, GEJ still made him INEC boss? Knowing PMB will be a major contender in the elections? How smart is that?

Had nothing to do with smart, put peace. If he had removed Jega, all hell would have been let loose.

newsbook:
http://dailypost.ng/2017/10/29/jonathans-govt-pdp-tried-manipulate-2015-elections-jega/

According to the former INEC boss, Jonathan granted all the financial requests of INEC.



A government that granted all financial requests of INEC wanted to manipulate election?. This Jega is on his brukutu again. And nothing in the whole write up suggests otherwise. Jega won't tell us what he was discussing in Dubai with APC before the elections, and how Kano registered 2 million votes with no voided votes. Someone better give him a dirty slap to wake him up.

TunezMediaBlog:
The tempo and the mood got wild as Alhaji Orezi reached into the crowd to pull up this shorty in white, who forgot her bra at home and carried her perky tips in front of her as she twerked, dance and twirled for the singer and the energetic audience who egged her on at DJ Xclusive all white party.

You've been watching football for 2decades and don't know that the centre referee is the boss and his decision overrules the linesman's decisions?

A simple Google search will save you all these embarrassment. Better yet follow this link to get better enlightenment https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060623162512AAyGWYW

The referee can over rule, but then , that will be at his discretion. How often do we see that happen?. He did not over rule his lines man in this instant, hence, it was an offside, before the goal was scored.

hoopLA:
Unfortunately, FIFA has set the wrong precedent in ordering a replaty of the SA-Senegal tie.

Thus anyone with any kind of grievance will feel they need justice.

Apparently the mistake made in disallowing the goal isn't enough to invalidate the tie, since the SA-Senegal tie appeared to be heavily one-sided in terms of officiating.

LOL. The SA game had a nonexistent handball that resulted in a penalty. before the Zambians scored, the lines man had already flagged for offside. Don't get what the hullabaloo is all about?.

Russia, we dey come Ojare...
