Stop disgracing your old age with this stale question. It is "garbage in" and "garbage out". It is the responsibility of the government to first of all invest on her citizens who will there after invest on her country. Nigeria should not reap from where she did not sow.

US already have athletes they are taking to Olympic 2016.
Chierika got talent in Row, and Nigeria, don't think we ever try the sport despite various water regionS in the country.

behold! its an honor to participate as an athlete in Olympic games even without winning any medal

This life is give and take. My country has to give before she can take from me. Do you know how may dreams and aspirations this country as killed?
You should first give to your country. Also, if you have attended a public school in your life, your country has already done a LOT for you. Or a public hospital

That is wrong! Citizens make their invest in their country first, then get the reward. I citizens don't pay tax, how will the country do their part?

.

She probably never would have be taken to the Olympics by the country she is naturalized in/ a citizen. So this is a big opportunity for her to be noticed worldwide. After her effort here at the Olympics, I'm sure the US would notice her and add her up in future competition. If she had won the gold, all the more better for her.

So most athletes that suddenly decide to represent their original country during competitions such as this are not necessarily doing the country a favour, but themselves and their future.

I'm sure she wasn't reached out to, but rather she reached out to sport officials to allowed to be part of a once in a lifetime opportunity.

See the silly question you are asking....what more did you want someone to do for a country more than the underlisted
-Buying bottle water/pure water at expense of portable water supply
-Buying fuel for domestic and business premises without power supply from national grid
-Paying for power we did not consume
-Paying Taxes yet one can not see motor-able road to drive
-Spending huge sum of money for mechanic due to bad roads on weekly basis
-Paying ransom for oppressors due to lack of insecurity
-Suffering to go to school without government intervention yet employment done for only cabal children CBN, FIRS, CUSTOMS, NIS, NNPC case studies
-The looting of our collective wealth by politicians and Military why average Nigerians die in silence
Now tell me....which more sacrifice do you want a citizen to do to a country more than this....please don't provoked us

hello people..do you know you can make money online? i just discovered a verified and a very reliable website(it was launched by paul samson,in march 2016) where you can have a one-time investment turned into a stream of income. register with this link of mine and say goodbye to financial dependence. you determine your earnings. remember.... you only invest once.please register with my referral link and you will be glad you did. i have never in my life been convinced about a website like this one. after registering, please message me to tell you what next to do.the good thing is that the money can be paid directly into ur Nigerian bank account. so you dont have to worry. you can withdraw your earnings and be paid on fridays.here is the link:https://www./?id=inno360
