12 disabled athletes won 12 medals for Nigeria and came 12th overall on medals table; they should simply form the 12 disciples.

it is highly abusive to call someone abnormal, firstly because you have to show us the clinical results of their abnormalities
Secondly this people you are calling disabled are differently able individuals who are gifted with different ability apart from your own and can even perform intellectually, more than you so called "normal"

Super proud of my country folks.

It is always disappointing Igbos don't get to the have more titles at the national level. They are so good in what they do irrespective of the position they find themselves. I love the Igbos.

I was shouting it during the paralympic games that how one nobody seem to notice that the medalists were predominantly Igbo's.
Then it occurred to me that Igbo's always excel anywhere merit system is key over tribalism and nepotism.
My memory went back and it occured to me that the only medal won at the Olympics(a bronze) was captained by an Igbo(Mikel obi) who put in his personal resources to see to the team's success despite Buhari and the sports ministers inefficiencies (two born fools who wouldn't be in office if Merit system was used over tribalism).
Then I flashed back to other medals won at the past Olympics. It occurred to me that the first gold medal was won by Chioma Ajunwa in 1996. And then the dream team led by another Igbo(KANU nwankwo).

Nigeria would be a better place if we can allow merit over nepotism and tribalism
