Our Olympics Journey A Disaster, We Prepared The Athletes - John Enoh by fergie001(op): 8:47pm On Aug 10, 2024
Yesterday, I met with Gentlemen of the Press at the Nigerian Embassy in Paris for a Press briefing following the Country’s participation at the 2024 Olympics.

As we go back home we must do everything to prevent future occurrence of the Paris disaster and if this will entail the review of how people are elected to lead our sporting Federations, it will be done.The elections for the federations are by the corner, and it will be the perfect platform to get only those who are most eligible to lead the various sports federations.

Team Nigeria's disappointing performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where the country did not secure any medals does not entail being addressed just by our participation at the Olympics, but it is a product of very many other things that need immediate attention.

We did everything as a Ministry to prepare the athletes adequately and provide them with every financial support but unfortunately the performance did not produce any podium finish.

I am aware that the Sports Federations Elections in Nigeria are even tougher than our National Elections, we must set our standards to scrutinize what motivates those vying to run the federations and get only the best hands.

This call for reform aims to enhance the leadership and effectiveness of Nigeria’s sports federations, paving the way for improved performance on the global stage.
John Owan Enoh (Sports Minister)

The only thing this government does well is propaganda

When it comes to measuring performance, they fail woefully

You can lie about how well you prepared, but unfortunately, you can’t win medals with propaganda

Tinubu didn't share rice to the athletes that's why they didn't win.

Foolish people

Sack the minister of sports

No excuse

Nigeria is the most populous black country in the world, blacks are known to be very athletic and most medals are won by black people, that the most populous black nation in the world cannot have a single medal shows something is wrong with the system, the management and talent development.

Make everybody just dey play for this country.
This play go beleful us Las las.

The founding fathers of this country did a very, very bad job. All indices that make a great nation are sorely lacking in this country, nothing whatsoever suggests we have a good future for this nation.

It's so, so unfortunate. I hope that bicycle has been returned like the commenters above asked?
