Tokyo 2020: NFF Congratulates, Dare, Sports Ministry

The Nigeria Football Federation has felicitated with the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development and the person of the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr Sunday Dare on Nigeria’s outing at the 32nd Olympics which ended in Tokyo, Japan few days ago.

Nigeria earned one silver and one bronze medals from the Games, with a slew of promising performances as a number of athletes reached the final of their events. For the first time since 1996, a Nigerian athlete was in the final of the glamour event of the Games – the men’s 100m sprint. Young hurdler Oluwatobiloba Amusan narrowly missed netting a medal as she finished fourth in the women’s high hurdles final.

“The Nigeria contingent may not have returned with the harvest of medals that many hoped for, but there are bright lights all around and some brilliant individual performances that give hope for the next Games in Paris. At the end of the day, the silver and bronze medals earned in Tokyo make the just-ended Olympics Nigeria’s best outing in 13 years. That is commendable.

“The Sports Minister, in his personal capacity, and the Ministry of Sports as a body worked their socks off. The Honourable Minister was exemplary; he explained, encouraged and empathized with the athletes as necessary and led the cheer at most of the venues where Nigerian athletes competed.

“He is such a wonderful breath of fresh air from the immediate Minister of Sports who rather constituted himself into a bulwalk and divisive force against Nigerian athletes at the last Olympics in Brazil. We do not wish to recall his inglorious remarks against the football team when the team was camping in the USA. That football team eventually ended up winning Team Nigeria’s only medal – a bronze – at the Games.”


Pinnick was particularly delighted at the performance of multi-talented Ese Brume, who won the women’s long jump: “I am happy for Ese (Brume) because I played a role in her discovery and nurturing. I am fulfilled at her career progression and I believe she will be there in Paris in three years’ time to win the gold medal.

“I also pledge that our football teams will return to the Games in three years’ time in Paris and compete favourably for the gold medals.”

Good one

NFF congratulating Sports minister

The same NFF that made both our football male and female team to miss out from the games?

The sports minister that couldn't give our athletes a good Jersey for the game they have to wash and wear?

Out of 55 athlete we took their only a single silver and a single bronze... And we are celebrating..

Do you know that San Marino the smallest country at the Olympics with a population of just 30,000 have only 5 athlete at this Olympics but won 1 silver and 2 bronze...
And they left with a promise to come back better

But Nigeria is here celebrating mediocrity.
With all the disqualification, protest and very poor outing

We are still celebrating and making political statement with our sports


What happened to all the other athlete that gave their best but didn't make it to the podium

We are here celebrating only ESE Bruno and blessing okborodudu

Instead of evaluating our failure and plan now for 2024 in Paris

Congratulations to those that won the Silver and bronze medals.
Mr Sunday Dare the yam eater.

Congratulations To Everyone That Won Medals & Good Luck To Who Didn't Win Any.

Mr Dare and even the one bad mounting him should seat together and plan now

The population we have in ajegunle is even more than the entire 30,000 population in San Marino

When Foolishness and Mediocrity are enthroned, what could be, would never be seen!!

Don't mind the idiots

Congratulate them for what exactly?
That show of shame?
I'm disgusted

Can't be the same Olympics that held this year cos our outing was a total disaster. Those athletes that won medals did well out of mtheir individual brilliance, not cos of whatever this i'diot pikin (Pinnick) is praising them for. Sycophancy at its peak.

I swear!!

These people are horribly shameless!

God bless them.

Op, that comma after congratulates is irrelevant.

For the failure at the Olympics?
Failure is now having another meaning under this buhari regime.

Congratulate Him for what na? For wasting tax payers money or what? Waka unna head
