But the government derives joy in sponsoring people to go for hajj and pilgrimages that has no impact in the society. All they do is to snap selfies and end up in a stampede

This is absolute shame. Is the govt saying that there's no money?
May thunder strike any govt official that will open his or her mouth to say that.
For christ sake, we nd every other countries had 4 years to prepare 4 this. Look at where we are less than one month to go nd we expect medals. If these guys shld even give us a single medal, then they are heroes. Infact, going to the olympics like this make them heroes already, win or lose.
The sport minister and some officials a couple of months back went to see the facilities in Rio and he did all that without knowing that his athletes are going to need tickets to get to brazil and back? Nigeria is indeed in big trouble.

A country where about 70% of its populace lives in slums and abject poverty.

Very good. The various sporting organisations. Should source for funds and sponsorships instead of depending on the Federal Government. They are going there to make names and money for themselves.
Everybody dey roast for this country now.




Infact they should stay at home so they don't come back with zika virus.
Would you say the same if it was the national football team going out for a world cup tournament?

How do you know the good athletes when they don't participate in a standard competition?

Mobil
diamond league iaaf
sports festival
nuga
commonwealth games are what exactly

those athletes have tried a lot to qualify.

and you want them to now leave their destiny in the hands of fools and locusts in sports ministries?
They are representing Nigeria and not their families and themselves.

will Nigeria follow and share d millions they would potentially make
Abeg chop alone die alone

It's too bad for the country.

how
why
is that not what you always vote for

Think of the salary of the law makers and the money our president spent on different tours, and the outcome of those tours, you will realize it's a waste of resources.

Whatchu go'n do bout it
Do the right thing at the good right time.

who, me, you?
who right thing don epp

If the govt fails to consider them at this point, what is the essence of grassroot sport.

what grassroots sport
The effect of sport on health is vital. Buhari should reason!

Once upon a time there was a Nigerian athlete who was getting $2000 monthly from her government, and she was expected to use that money to transport herself to meets and pay her coaches.

Now said Nigerian athlete was based in a European country where her mates were getting $24000 monthly from their government and had free coach plus two physios to book.

Of course, Nigerian athlete changed citizenship.

And we also had a male athlete who changed citizenship one year....and the next turned up at the National Stadium at Surulere with a cool 4WD.(Which he could not afford when he was a Nigerian. And he eventually won a Olympic silver medal).

I am not defending Buhari. But these two tales happened long before PMB or even GEJ took over. Poor funding of track and field athletics did not start yesterday. Add the fact that most of our sport associations are run poorly (and often by the same old corrupt bureaucrats).

You expect PMB to find money for these athletes? When GEJ could not find money for them with high oil price?

The problem is that in Nigeria....athletics needs money. Lots of it. And I doubt AFN would be giving any athlete 20000USD a month in a country where people are lucky to see 400 USD monthly.

Anyway.....private sponsorship is the way froward. Govt does not have the cash.
But the same government has money to sponsor useless trips for the useless president, governors and ministers. Etc

Nigerian Govt suck. thought u r the giant of Africa but can't even pay for ur athletes. even Kenya has more athletes going to Rio.

At this point we can't talk about SA, its beyond Nigeria s league .

I don't understand was I drunk wen I voted for APC huh Sometimes I wake up in the morning and look at myself in the mirror and wonder if I was hypnotized undecided
You are a true citizen. You were not hypnotised. You did what you thought was the best at that time.. Stop blaming yourself.. Just try and learn from past mistakes
