What supersport channel?? Cause I can't seem to find it

Im not sure about the channels. I follow the Rio official timetable and watch it on BBC.

Next Nigerian up is Funke Oshonaike at 6:30pm Nigerian time. Followed by Edem Offiong and Segun Toriola (the grandfather of table tennis).

So far so good. No Nigerian out yet. All table tennis players through to next round. We have our first quarter finalist as well.

Swedish Coach wants Nigeria expelled from Olympics for unsportsmanlike behavior....

Swedish coach says Nigeria had added advantage by coming late for the olympics. He said Nigeria were allowed to play without accreditation and that usually accreditation takes a lot of time. His words:

We have worked any amount of accreditation applications, document creation and other time-consuming. Things that have taken time from the players' preparations. And then Nigeria pops up just before its opening match and not at all four days before the first game, as the rules require, says Ericson Swedish Radio.

In swedish, but can be translated.

Fayose needs the number of FBI or CIA so they can help him arrest a sitting first lady.

Is it just me or is anyone else enjoying the cross fire between Shekau and al Barnawi? It gives me confidence that Nigerian intel is deep within BH ranks. I remember a time when Col. SK Usman gave a release about Shekau BGs killing some top members who wanted to abscond. The whole jigsaw is now taking shape.

Also, Shekau has been confirmed to be inside Sambisa still. His days are numbered

I predicted this will be the worst olympics for Nigeria in a long time. I still stand by that. We are sending 75 athletes, it seems like 75 also rans.

Corruption has eaten so deep into Nigeria that corrupt officials are unwilling to compromise even when there is no money to be stolen. They will rather embarass the nation than do what is right.

The government released money for olympics long enough. The money was substantially smaller than previous years. The money should be enough to have a good olympics, but will leave very little for the corrupt officials to eat from. Rather than apply the money straight to the olympics, the officials prefer to embezzle that money and leave Nigerian athletes stranded all over the world. If not for Regina George and Seye Ogunlewe who started embarassing the AFN, the athletes would have had to buy the ticket to Rio on their own!
This olympics will be the turning point, and I expect plenty to get sacked after the olympics.

Nigeria has no serious medal prospects out of the 75. I will not be following the olympics as I used to do. Thankfully the EPL is starting.

So sad no alfarouq aminu and ezile because of some issues

Insurance they said! Al farouq Aminu is by far the best Nigerian player. This is the worst news about our olympics. Worse than the relay team dq.

It was never a scam. Linda Ikeji has done plenty harm to Mayowa's cause. Even greater harm has been done to people who are likely to beg for funds because Linda has cast doubts into people's minds. Its a shame that a bloody kobo kobo blogger can harm such a good cause.

CSTR12:
Isreal has much more to give your country than all the arab and persian nations that your president likes to visit.
Isreal is the technological, military, agricultural and economic power of the middle-east. They are also responsible for the training of your DSS and the supply of their tavors rifle.
I hope buhari would not let his religious bias prevent him from working with isreal. He is that dumb.

Very vague claims. Israel remains a rogue nation built on the blood of innocent Palestinians. All this bla bla about tech, military and economic power is crap propaganda.

Netanyahu welcome to Nigeria though.

So who took her 'before' picture? Did the person envisage a miracle? Or was she dressed as a mad woman after the said deliverance?

These miracles are largely unproven.

A South African woman, Margaret Hlatshwayo, has revealed how the senior pastor of Enlightened Christian Gathering Church, ECG, in South Africa, Shepherd Bushiri, paid her to lie about miracles.

There is a mistake. That is what you get when a Journalist relies strictly on whatever pops up from a Google Wikipedia search.

Thanks jare. I just hope NFF dont file this to FIFA.

Usman MUHAMMED Midfielder 12 June 1980

This man is 36 year old? Is there a mistake somewhere?

FT: Nigeria 96-92 Argentina

Ike Diogu led D'Tigers with 18 points and 7 rebounds.

There will be a re-match on Wednesday. Interestingly, Argentina are the first opponents of D'Tigers at the Olympics.

This type of friendly will not be possible in football.

dear all,

do we really understand the "federal character" or quota system that has been invoke for a very long time in Nigeria.

check the population of each zone, the no. of seats occupied at the national Assembly and equate it with the appointments. then and only after then, you can understand why the appointmens are the way they are.

the population census figures we are using, methinks is the problem not Buhari

You're not being sincere with this 'federal character' thing bro. When you talk of population, are you talking of productive population or parasitic population? Are the North East and North West political elites producing as much as they enjoying? This is the other side of what caused riots after the unitary system was introduced many years ago.
Say it as it is, it is selfishness in a rather crude way.

This is damning on Buhari and those NE and NW regions. If Buhari sets such a bad precedence, then the NE and NW may suffer greatly in the near future.

Morale seems to be quite high.

If every Nigerian who made 1st class in UK universities this month should make FP, it will fill FP for 5 consecutive days. Nigerians are getting 1st class like pure water in the UK.

Asked why, as sitting governor, he shuns state executive council meetings with the president, Fayose said: “Each time they call meeting, my deputy goes there”.

So you miss the meeting with Buhari face to face, but you feel the best way to get Buhari is to call him 'two or three times'.
I'm sorry for Ekiti people. Even when Tinubu vs Obasanjo was very hot, OBJ and Tinubu still saw eye to eye. OBJ was beside Tinubu when the Idumagbo bomb blast occured.
If you want to discuss anything with Buhari, you have the SEC meeting to see him face to face. No one is barring you from Aso Rock. You calls could be as absurd as your utterances, so I dont expect any sane person to take your calls seriously. Anyone can call Aso Rock and claim to be Fayose.

60 million recovered out of 100 million. Remaining 40 million should be traced to the police boss account.

Athletics prospects:
Men
1. Divine Oduduru making semi final will be a great acheivement in the 200m. He seems to step up on the big stage.
2. The two triple jumpers are good. I think Tosin will make finals. Olu may push for final too. Two Nigerian in the final is the best we can hope for.
Verdict: NO MEDAL for Nigerian Male athletes in RIO.

Women:
ALL our women will be exciting to watch. The weakest may be the 400m hurdles, but seriously the remaining are all exciting.
Relays.. we may make final of the 4 x 100m relay, while we are one of the top 5 in the 4x400m.

Osun CAN is a ridiculously shameless organisation. They want to turn the law on its head. Trying to blackmail a judge, shop for their own judge, using innocent students as pawns and crying wolf to the media. PDP Osun state is using CAN so much that one cannot differentiate anymore.

AN Osun State High Court judge, Justice Jide Falola, on Friday warned parties involved in a litigation over the wearing of hijab in public schools to desist from encouraging students to defy court order or judgment.

Falola had on the 3 June, 2016 delivered a judgment, allowing female Muslim students in public schools to wear hijab to school, citing their fundamental human rights and religious belief as reasons that informed his judgment.

Hearing the motion for a stay of execution of the judgment filed by counsel for the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Osun State chapter, Barrister Olufemi Folarin Ayandokun,[b] the presiding judge stated that “you should admonish your clients not to use religion to divide or destabilise the judiciary. To go to the extent of shopping for a type of judge our case should go before is ridiculous”.

According to Falola, “judiciary is a sanctuary that deals with the law. Whoever handles any case would not allow his religion to interfere in the process. Some students were encouraged to defy court judgment. The only means you have against any judgment is to appeal. Not to encourage students to defy court judgment”.

He continued, “pictures of these students are on social and regular media. The students may not be aware of the implication of what they were being made to do. These are students we expect to become lawyers, doctors and judges in the future.”

Falola, who also admonished the media to be professional in their reportage of proceedings on hijab suit said “the intention of some tiny section of the media is to intimidate and subdue the judiciary. I am employed as a judge and sit in a court of law. May that day never come when a judge will have to consult a tiny god before adjudicating on a matter.”

“Reading through the press in the past few days, one would think the Armageddon has come. The media should not use their reports to provoke crisis. They have constitutional roles to play. The court works on facts and laws placed before it. My conscience is clear and my hands are not tied. I applied the law,” he added.[/b]

The state chapter of CAN had on June 22 filed an application before the Osun State High Court asking for a stay of execution of the judgment pending its determination by the Appeal Court.

Fayose bring out rice. These people will fall in line and sing your praises. Ekiti oniresi.

What an unserious government. Why the rush to declare holiday in the first instance?
I am Muslim, but I think Dambazzau was wrong to declare today as public holiday in the first instance.

I keep saying it. In few years time, Nigerians will watch TB Joshua's Youtube videos and wonder how he got away with such horrible play acting. It is getting really ridiculous now.
It seems nollywood has so much crept into people's brains that they believe TB Josh's play acting is actually real.

Half time. Mexico on top. Scores still goaless.

Best chance of the game. Lovely cross comes in, Mexico captain catches it well, beats Daniel in Nigeria goal, but hit the post....unlucky.

TheSuperNerd:
On twitter, I understand that The Mexican goalie is Raul Gudino....
Remember him?
Picked up 9 goals from his net against Nigeria...
5 from Iheanacho
1 from Success
1 from Yahaya (put as an own goal actually)
1 from Chidi Nwakali
1 from Musa Mohammed
Lollll. ..... memories

Today, he has Awoniyi and Ajayi. His prayers have been answered.

Mexican captain snaps a great chance. He managed to evade attention of our back 4. Nigeria go to the other end, chance wasted (tired of saying this).

Mexican captain copies Nigerian captain and collects a yellow.

Awoniyi through on goal. Shoots at the keeper. Mexican commentators seem to remember him very well . They shouted AWooniyiii.. but he shot at the keeper. Still 0-0
