I support this, patriotism is for fools esp a country that doesn't care

Don't put the blame of your failure on anybody else but yourself, you could have gone all the up if you have what it takes without the government support, you are a weightlifter. But at the same time shame on the FG for sponsoring pilgrimage and neglecting the Olympians but i still believe that countries like Nigeria that is with so much pressing issues to deal with should be saved the distractions of even the world Cup for now, so they can tidy up the home first. If you had gone all the way to win a medal without support and dedicate it to your country, then you might get some sympathy and love. But what have you done for Nigeria? That's what you should be asking yourself rather thinking of what Nigeria should do for you.

Excluding GEJ. Nigeria achieved a lot in sports under his motivating and sensitive administration.

kingdenny:
If these athletes do not win anything, no one should blame them, no one reaps where he did not sow, if the government cannot invest in sport and expect result then they are living in a fools world
Was buhari the best candidate, APC could provide on their platform? He surely Is clueles on how to run this country to greatness

Including GEJ unfortunately.(wink wink ).

Preparations for Olympics always start as soon as the last one has finished.

And Nigeria won zero medals at the 2012 Olympics ...which were held when GEJ was in charge.

Beyond the whole GEJ /PMB issue(this is where I get serious).....Nigeria's sports crisis is caused by bad administrators.....people enter sport admin for the purpose of money. And back in the day....long before GEJ came around....politicians used to run for office re federations. Now...no benefit.

The truth of the matter is.....winning Olympics is not done by mobilizing money about one year to the show....it is about consistent preparations, about having the right kind of coaches, about training the coaches properly , about going for competitions galore,and about wanting it harder than the next guy.

How many competitions did Mariam go for in the last four years....compared to her foreign counterparts.? How many courses did Mariam's coaches go for in the last four years? How wellhas the Nigerian Weightlifting Federation been funded for the last 4 years? Are the NWF leaders creative? What about our Sports Lottery that was supposed to fund our athletes, where is it?.

You may call me a zombie for disagreeing with you....but the fact is....GEJ and many of our past leaders,and this admin are doing nothing for sports in this country.And the leadership of the varied sports federations are doing nothing either. Developing sports goes beyond money.

If you still believe in this country called Nigeria, then wake from your dreams...

Even pilgrims were funded properly, but athletes were neglected..

God punish past and present presidents Back to Back!!

Amen

When she and her team won eight gold, three silver and three bronze in the Commonwealth games in 2013, I remember her dedicating that victory to GEJ. They obviously got more support under the last dispensation.
