APC government with scandals on every field

Kushites:
It's only a matter of time, so get rid of your racial complex.

Giant of babablu.

If I hear giant of Africa from anyone eh..

Nigeria should be coming home with at least 45 gold medals in any olympic game if we had good leaders.

45 gold small, you should just round it up to 100
How many sporting events is Nigerian participating in to come home with 45 gold medals.

A sad reflection of what is happening back home. Nigerian athletes should also protest in Paris.

Rahkman:

Mryacks:
Such a shame. What a country. Our so called administrators have always been shambolic and proving to be inefficient over time. For God sake when are we going to get things right....imagine sports that is one of our main unify, always been run in a messy way. Sad

U only condemn, which role are playing to contribute to development of d country? No b to open mouth.

This is the direct reflections of the people in government and their ability to handle the affairs of the nation.

2015 will remain the worst year Nigerians was unfortunate to experience. Absolutely triumph of evil over good.

Can anything good come out of a cesspool of corruption?

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂 A sorry oo sorry oooo

Cajal:

We know how to get the wrong people in the right places. Very unprofessional set of people.

That's what happens with there us no effective punishment or reward system.

Our leaders are unable to unify the people and address us in heart moving speech.
-
America can do this quite easily.
Chinese, Japanese, British...
Their leaders can address them, give them speech to psyche them up and raise their morale.
Our own leaders are hiding under big agbada every time.
America has psyched its people in the real world and even in the imaginary world.

I'm sure every American knows Captain America.
Yes it is fictional character. But the symbolism is very clear.
The muscular American soldier man that will fight the enemies for the freedom of American people!
Children know him. Adults know him..
They know him, because that is HOW their mind works.
-
We don't' have such symbolism in Nigeria.
The moment you say, Captain Nigeria, people will ask, "which tribe is he from"?
Na there the concept go end. That's why we don't have such symbolism.
We each have different mindsets and nothing unifying us.

At least now, this our hunger protest will unify all of us to an extent, even though some are still distancing themselves.

favor914:
Biafran.

I don't get it.
If you are so proud about your Biafra stuff, why don't you make a Biafra webpage and leave
this Nigerian webpage (Nairaland) alone?
Why are you always here, telling everybody you can, that you are not a Nigerian?

When they put I don't care people in power, what do you want the outcome to be ?

No African country have hosted Olympics e get why!!

Most African countries have not hosted olympics because they do not want their economies to be damaged to a point where IMF and China combined cannot help you.

Greece hosted olympics in 2004, wahala dey their economy five years later. Canada hosted olympics in 1976, and finished paying off the debt incurred 40 years after

The main problem is that a lot of facilites built for sporting events end up being unused and don't make enough money either for the host city, nation or even sporting authorities. Even the Beijing stadium...built for 2008 olympics that was supposed to host a football team that would attract fans that would pay money for its upkeep...did not work that way.

See Nigeria. We hosted all africa games in 2003. One of the things built there was the velodrome. It is a large landmark in Abuja, yet up till today it is not used for most of the year. Just lies waste. Cycling events, e no fit host am, occasionally reliigous bodies hold programmes there, and even the NNPP had its presidential convention there in 2022, but it sits empty. Huge money sink. Abuja sporting complex built for the games is a large mess. Even the games village....housing for the middle class and the rich, not for the poor.

Imagine if we hosted Olympics.

I mean, we can host olympics...and build nice facilites, but at the end, what next. We can build a nice gymasia, which would be unused because we don't have enough gymnasts. We can biuild a nice rugby field...how many Nigerians play rugby? Dressage? How many Nigerians ride horses for fun or own horses? You see the wahala.

Even developed countries are running away from hosting Olympics and similar competitions. Commonwealth games is already having issues with finding hosts for the next several episodes of the games...and even the IOC...the fact that they gave LA the 2028 games covers up the fact that there were not many applicants in the first place. Countries don't want to spend billions and get nothing in return.

What pleasure would one get by sabotaging his/her motherland because of self-interest?

Patriotism is hard to come by in my beloved country.

[color=#006600][/color]

It's because they see it as no man's business. A situation people are force to live together, there is no real patriotism.
The UK and other European countries that are on their own, have same culture or possibly language.
This make them to work for the common good of their country, it's their own and they can't afford to loss it.
Over here someone will be the head and tries to sideline regions that even provide the resources for the country's sustainability.
Everyone just want to get to power so as to get hold of the wealth available.
The kind of leaders people vote in can't be voted in their immediate society.
They will prefer someone that can provide their basic needs.
But in national level , it doesn't concern anyone how other regions will survive.

Waste of money every 4yrs

Any nation that fail to develop it's citizens cannot achieve much in a global setting

But your man - Dalung/ Lalung was also deceiving the gaulibles audiences/ Protesters in Jos- Plateau State, three - days ago and instead of the Youths,asking for his records of Performance,when he was a Sports Minister- while in the GlassHouse and how many Medals/ Laurel Won Internationally,that failures of a man, had audacity to be addressing them-as a Politicians,yet the Youths Protesters Couldn't chased him away!
•That is the kind of Leader the Youths want.
•Leadership Without Accountability! Any So Called Leaders- since Nigeria Independence, including ( Former Governors,former Senators,House of Representatives,State Houses- who Compromised,with their Governors- to loot Nigeria,) who have been in Govt - are part and parcels of Nigeria Problems!
Just the Truth!
