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.
You must be igbo?

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
I actually thought you were intelligent, albeit an IPOB Emergency Nigerian via Peter Obi's candidacy.

Any ''embarrassment'' caused was because Emergency Nigerians like you and Peter Obi distorted the story to make it 'Nigeria's fault'.

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?

It's a huge shame that we now eat embarrassment as dinner
ARE YOU A DUNCE?

Did you actually read through the thread before posting?

If you did, and still typed this garbage, you're clearly very thick upsatirs.

What about someone that said the following:

Balablu bulaba

Gazelle garaga

Na statistics we go chop?

Licking of a microphone

Recruit 50million youths

Cassava, garri and ewa

Agbado


I hope he is more presidential than Obi
Load of garbage.

Grow up.

Every person has their idiosyncracies - weird things they do or say.

The older, the more idiosyncratic.

That is VERY DIFFERENT from a Presidential Candidate of Nigeria reading something on Twitter, and running and shouting with it to smear his own country, without investigating it.

What then separates him from any fool down the road?

For all their faults, Buhari, Obasanjo, Jonathan, Babangida, Yar'Adua, AbdulSalami, Gowon, and Tinubu would NEVER do that.

They are too disciplined, sophisticated, and nationalistic to do anything like that.

I do not support Peter Obi but this is embarrassing. It’s a shame we seem to be raising a generation of shallow thinkers. Quote from daily mail
“The offer came after the Olympic team had already arrived in Paris, Enoh added.

'For this track race reallocated to Team Nigeria, a very special equipment (approved specifically for the Olympic track game) is used,”

Are you telling me the cyclists have not been practicing with Olympic grade equipmenthuh That’s a bigger issue and actually explains why they didn’t qualify in the first place. In saner climes, they’d be several back ups for these equipment and would be a matter of a phone call and maximum few hours away.
An embarrassing post altogether

Stop talking nonsense. OP is right and you are wrong. Nigerians don't want a perfect angel as President,.

Yet Nigerians, like all people worldwide, deserve leaders, as a minimum, who make the effort to be aware of the facts before they talk or reach a decision.

That is a non-negotiable quality all Presidents or heads of State must possess. Obi is always speaking rashly, dishonestly and unintelligently because he is motivated by bias and sentiments above everything else.

Show a credible source that shows the bicycle cost $40k !

Stop giving beer parlour gossips
Kemetian:
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.

You are A DECEIVER AND A LIAR.

Why didn't you quote the rest of Enoh's words?

You conveniently left out the full remark:

''“For this track race reallocated to Team Nigeria, a very special equipment (approved specifically for the Olympic track game) is used,” he said on X.

“It'll take months to have it delivered after ordering and making payment.”''

You're giving excuses. They wouldn't have offered them the opportunity if they think bicycle will be an issue
Kemetian:
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 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.

See this one. $40k is even the cheap one.

The British Olympic team was using bicycles that cost over $70K each.

''The overall cost of the British Hope-Lotus bike is £55,000 if you add up its constituent parts.''

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/olympics/2024/08/10/team-gb-track-cyclists-extra-round-wheels-france-olympics/

So you people are saying Nigeria should have bought those bikes before hand JUST IN CASE some other country gets disqualified from a race Nigeria was not qualified or registered to contest in.

Which is the height of gross stupidity.

Precisely. I have no doubt that Gidgiddy is nothing other than a roadside Vulcanizer with low IQ.

Reportage make it is crystal clear to any intelligent person that Nigeria was not entered for the event, before athletes departed, and only summoned to partake in it because of a disqualification at the Olympics.

Even to a lunatic, why should Nigeria take along or buy a 44k dollars bike for an event we have no athlete partaking in when team Nigeria left for the Olympic?

Truth is that this development, like many others, paints Obi in bad light by revealing he is a bitter and sadistic person looking for everything and anything to use demonizing the Tinubu Government.

She went to contest in Paris, and had already contested in the races she was qualified and registered for, using her own bike!

Then she was called up at short notice for this cycling race for which Nigeria was not registered, and she obviously didn't have the appropriate bike for the race! So she did what any sensible person would do in that emergency situation: BORROW A BIKE. NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. GO TO BED!!!

Your warp thinking shows how shallow you and those you represent are. No wonder Nigeria is deteriorating to the worse state in Africa, sharing equality with war torn Sudan and Somalia.
Ask yourself, why would a Federal Government Olympic committee take a cyclist to France without tools of performance her trade.
In your warp sense is it that your athlete qualified because Egyptian without training?
What placed her in a position to be a next in line? What was she training with that made her next in line?
Tinubu and his Government of failures could not organize simply Olympic team. How would she have performed if Germany did not make a bike available to her? You are here typing stupidity about Obi when your failure is breaking records and making failures look professional. You should be very very ashamed.
If what Tinubu has a president is your standard of presidency material, then you are right that Peter Obi cannot be one, because what we have in Tinubu is incompetence and failure not presidency. Of course Peter Obi cannot be in the same "presidency material " class as the failure we have as Tinubu.

Remind us again why Nigeria took an athlete who did not have K44 bike to the Olympics? Nigeria took them there to watch others cycle?

You country took an athlete to the biggest sporting competition I'm the world, only for that athlete to be borrowing bike

Mumu. Let me explain. Read carefully, or read several times, because I know you are 'dense'. Many athletes can compete in multiple events at international tournaments like the Olympic.

We can have an athtete who represents Nigeria in skiing and bobsled. For the 2024 Olympic he qualified for skiing but not Bobsled event.

He takes his ski along because him and his nation assume that is the only event he is partaking in.

On getting to the Olympics a Bobsled competitor is disqualified and the Nigerian athlete asked to replace him.

Who is dumb enough, aside you and your fellow Obidients, to suggest Nigerian should have somehow anticipated the disqualification and then travelled with or bought a Bobsled 'just in case'?

Did the athlete not have the required equipment to compete in the event he was shortlisted for before reaching the Olympics?

See that you are indeed a big mumu, and like Obi, only interested in denigrating Nigeria and her current President without engaging your brain?

The hatred of Nigeria, and lust for badmouthing her, is inbred in you Biafrans. Yet try and engage your brain so that such desires of you people is not so obvious.

Are you surprised that people bad mouth a country that has only brought them disappointment and suffering? A country they don't want to belong to?

All you have said does not take away from the fact that a Nigerian athlete went to the Olympics to borrow a bike. A sporting event of that magnitude is not where you go to borrow anything. If you are unexpectedly called upon to participate in an event, and you don't have the equipment, don't participate. You don't turn into a beggar asking other countries to lend their own. What an embrassment

Your country went to the Olympics and came back without a medal, but you guys problem is Peter Obi
