AFN swings into action as Nigerian Olympic medalist, Gloria Kemasuode roams Bayelsa streets. Nigerian Olympic female silver medalist, Gloria Kemasuode, who has been roaming the streets of Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital in rags is currently receiving medical attention over issues of mental unstableness, at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Yenagoa.

Recently, she has attracted sympathy from sports lovers and residents of Ovom community, where the Samson Siasia stadium is situated.

She was in the Nigerian 4 by 100 meters women’s team that won gold at the Africa Championship in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia earlier in 2008, returning in a time of 43.04 seconds. Kemasuode was also part of Nigeria’s quartet at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China that finished third in the women’s 4 by 100 meters relay alongside Agnes Osazuwa, Oludamola Osayomin, Ene Franca Idoko and Halimat Ismaila clocking 43.04 seconds, finishing behind a Russian and a Belgium.

In 2016, Russia were disqualified and stripped of their gold medal due to doping violations, thereby promoting Gloria and her teammate to silver medal position. In his visit to Bayelsa in order to assess her health condition, President of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria, Engineer Ibrahim Gusau says the AFN will continue to take care of the needs of the nation’s serving and retired Athletes.

The AFN President stated this at the Federal Medical Center, Yenagoa, capital of Bayelsa State. Engineer Gusau who was accompanied by a Doctor from the Federal Ministry of Sports said he was pleased to have seen Gloria in a stable condition, pledging that the AFN would continue to monitor the situation. The Athletics Federation of Nigeria President who was full of appreciation to journalists in Bayelsa for highlighting the plight of Gloria Kemasuode urged Nigerians to see themselves as a family as what affects one affects the other. Yenagoa based Journalist, Loveday Herbert who was among the Sports Writers to bring the story to limelight said it was important that Gloria Kemasuode’s case was brought to the fore to get the attention of the authorities to help her.

VILLAGE PEOPLE AT WORK

True. But the AFN seems to have stepped up in this instance tho.

Kudos to them and I pray the young lady gets better.


O pari

Emrixx:
This fine lady
Nigeria don't take care of their own

Eyah, I really feel for her, thank God the authorities have intervened.

AFN is back on dvb cards, very soon it will be on toy box.

Hmm Village people dey do things o

XhosaNostra:
I'm doing great, Marty. Thanks. You?

oh yeah! I'm fine fine fine.

XhosaNostra:
Very sad indeed, Marty. In my hometown there's another one, but it's a guy. He still wears his identity card from where he used to work. Once upon a time he had a well paying job with the government, then he impregnated someone & denied that the child was his. Well, he became mad soon afterwards. You wouldn't believe his story because of his appearance now.

dammmmmm,but why will he even think of denying the pregnancy wait you mean he became mad are you sure about this, like going crazy after he "denied"

Martin0:

Yes, he's still mad to this day. His madness is kind of strange though because he has moments of clarity, where he makes sense. You could have a normal conversation with him, then mid-conversation, he'd start his mad chanting about how he's "raving mad all over town". That's the same sentence he repeats over & over, "I'm raving mad all over town".

Like I said, you guys are used to a failed country and govt. So, I ain't surprised. Travel and explore the other side your orientation will change. Last reply

I'm very sure you live there presently

I live in Nigeria but education and business has taken me to developed countries. In some countries, there is a housing scheme, health insurance, monthly stipends, counselling and other welfare programs. Even if they want to purchase a home, they are easily given mortgage waivers and the rest. In Africa we are just use to suffer suffer lifestyle.

Please thus is not gloria. This is Franca idoko

KINGwax007:
is it their job to even intervene?

Truth of the Matter is dat the govt is not responsible for athletes who repd the country in the past as long as they were paid for their services. but it's the responsibility of govt to provide affordable healthcare for all.

apart from village people, make una check her boyfriend or maybe she won marry and no one agree come, God help us.

Na was ooh!
Well life continues!
