Olympics ‘Bicycle’ Comment Shows Peter Obi Is NOT Presidential Material by Kemetian(op):
The Nigerian cyclist was called in at the last minute to contest a road cycling race, after an Egyptian cyclist was disqualified.

Team Nigeria contested only in the track cycling races, and therefore only went to Paris with track-purpose bicycles.

The road race bicycles cost up to $40,000 each, and of course were not required by Team Nigeria.

So when the Nigerian girl was asked to do the road race at short notice, she borrowed a road race bicycle from the German team, which was there for track and road racing events.

SOMEHOW, THIS INCIDENT turned into a social media STORM in which the Nigerian government was abused and insulted by the usual suspects - Emergency Nigerians - for the ‘’embarrassment of having to borrow a common bicycle” from other countries, which showed the depth of incompetence and corruption of the government.

SO-CALLED ‘PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE’ PETER OBI, whom you would expect, as a presidential material, to INVESTIGATE the incident prior to issuing public statements on it, simply CONSUMED the social media propaganda of his fellow Emergency Nigerians, and LAMBASTED the government publicly for “borrowing a bicycle” at the Olympics, condemning their “rascality”, “corruption”, and “incompetence”.

This shows that PETER OBI lacks the intelligence, judgement, discipline, and composure to be the PRESIDENT of the biggest and most powerful black nation on Earth.

He must not be elected to such an important high office.

It’s far too risky.

Anyone can come into his office and tell him anything, and he’ll run with it.

It's like looking for Obi's fault is now many people's full-time job. If you are looking for a perfect angel to pilot the affairs of Nigeria, I tell you that Peter Obi doesn't qualify. But if you want someone who will do his BEST to see that Nigerians are happy, I tell you Obi could be the only option left for Nigerians. Take it to the bank.

This is not about being a “perfect angel”.

It’s about having basic judgment, intelligence and objectivity.

I am not a presidential candidate, but the minute I read the news about the “borrowed bicycle’’, I KNEW there had to be more to the story than what was being bandied around.

An Olympics-qualified cyclist from Nigeria can NEVER be at the Olympics without a bicycle, so there HAD to be more to the story.

Why wasn’t Peter Obi intelligent enough to know that?

Why didn’t he investigate the situation before commenting?

The man lacks what it takes to be president.

IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED AND CAN NEVER HAPPEN IN A MILLION YEARS.

Go and tell that to your fellow primitive air head Emergency Nigerian, Peter Obi.

so must be wait before last minutes to join? Other serious countries put their athletes to prepare Incase of disqualifications which is sure to happen so Nigeria has never prepared for anything. So why didn't the country decline and let another country take it's spot rather than beg another country for such. O.o leave Peter obi because him dn achieve everything your generation crave for yet never see.
Incase you don't know the same bigwigs in APC and PDP chill with obi far from cameras and let their boys shout aimlessly at night

An Excellency with a very mediocre and charlatan mindset.

What do you mean by last Minute. She was in Paris two weeks before the event so the Olympics comitte had good 2 weeks. If Nigeria was called up to replace a disqualified team in the world Cup competition, I can be sure no expenses will be spared to ensure we are there. Just say Olympics committe don't give a damn about bicycle races

You should be ashamed that Nigeria took an athlete all the way to the largest Sport games in the world, only for the athlete to be borrowing bicycles.

The giant of Africa cannot afford $40,000 bike for its athlete. And some people think Obi is talking nonsense

You are WRONG, and like Obi, have NOT investigated what happened.

Team Nigeria received the reallocation of a slot in the road event THERE IN PARIS after they had left Nigeria.

It was THERE, at the Olympics, that they were offered the slot, PLUS it takes MONTHS to deliver those road race bicycles even if you order them.

It’s not something you can just pop into a shop and buy, not least because they also needed to be certified after purchase by the Olympics technical committee - another long process etc etc.

So the ONLY OPTION available to the Nigerian cyclist was to either BORROW a road race bike and contest an Olympics event, or decline the offer to contest.

You guys are funny. Why would Nigeria take an athlete all the way to the Olympics just for that person to be borrowing bicycle? If you know you haven't got what that athlete needs to compete, why take him or her there?

Do you know the global embrassment this has caused? But you are more interested in calling out Peter Obi just because he told you this was a national embarrassment
Re: Olympics ‘Bicycle’ Comment Shows Peter Obi Is NOT Presidential Material by opamoses1: 7:44pm On Aug 13, 2024
He never was a presidential material. He is just a gbajue candidate. Same Obi was cursed alot on Facebook, Nairaland, twitter e.t.c when he was governor of Anambra due to bad governance.

defending incompetence has never been this low and desperate.... If China, Japan or US were called on such a short notice, would their athletes gone to borrow a bike or would they have made available a bike for the competition?

The thing tire Mr. Someone who should be thoroughly embarrassed that an athlete who went to represent his country at the biggest sporting tournament in the world, had to borrow a bike, is more concerned with why Obi should tell him this is an embarrassment
