Nigeria's Performance at the Paris Olympics a Complete Disaster – Ojugbana | Ajunwa

Nigeria should focus on “Power” sports as they build on other disciplines. Discus, Shot put and Hammer throw are definitely sports Nigeria can dominate in if only seriously invested in

1st solution is for Nigerians to stop focusing on South Africa😂😂😂😂😂

They were obsessed with South African news about their criminal Chidimma girl. 😂

We're under a curse under this apc.
We will continue see these failures

Wilson Kiprugut Chumo was the first Kenyan and African, to win an Olympic medal when he bagged bronze in the 880 yards (now 800 metres) race at the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games.

Nigerian track and field legend Chioma Ajunwa revealed that she received little support from Nigeria in her preparation for the Atlanta 1996 Olympics, where she became the first Nigerian to win a gold medal. Ajunwa won gold in the women's long jump with a 7.12m leap, marking a historic achievement for the country.

Gaint of Africa.

A country of 225m not even a bronze. It shows you how politicians have wrecked our country. The rot starts from aso rock where the biggest criminals buy their way into power. That rottenness is then spread down like wildfire and plague that has given a terrible society today.

The sports minister should do the needful by resigning, period!

This is sports. Sometimes you do well and other times you underperform. There is always a next time.

There are many talents out there in Nigeria but are yet to be discovered. You just don't pick a random person or a favoured person to come and represent your country. You have groom or mould them to become super stars. Start from Schools (primary/secondary/University, etc). Discover them young and award them scholarships to boost their interest and dedication.

Stadiums are locked …😮? Where do they train.., 88 athletes…😮

Giant of Africa my foot

With Nigeria's status as the Giant of Africa, the country does not have to identify herself with other countries that perform woefully at the Olympic games. Those countries do not have the same population of youths and embedded natural wealth like us. We should be competing with frontline African countries like Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria, etc. The world looks up to Nigeria as the beacon and shining light of Africa. So, let us not belittle ourselves or diminish our capacity in the international arena. We should always strive to better our past records at the Games. That shows continuity and development. We did well at Atlanta 1996 with gold medals in Long Jump Female (by Chioma Ajunwa) and Football among other medals. Why should we do less and come back without a medal almost three decades later? Kenya and South Africa are always consistent at the games because they prepare very well ahead of the competition by discovering new talents to replace ageing ones in fields where they have comparative advantage (e.g. the traditional marathon/long distance races for Kenya). Nigeria has an impressive history at the Olympics in boxing, wrestling, short sprints, relays, long jump, football, table tennis, weightlifting, discuss and shotput. Why should we not maintain that consistency by getting the right coaches, camps and training programmes to complement and justify the heavy funds invested every Olympics cycle? Frankly, the poor outings portray us as wasteful, unserious and lacking in purpose and organisation.

Other countries prepares for 8 years to make 2 gold medals but Nigeria will bring so called athletes together in 3 months and you hear the minister tell you we will be coming back with 3 to 4 gold medals a set of mediocres

A country that celebrates mediocrity has nothing to offer the world, every so proud Nigerian should cover his or her face in shame.
All what Nigeria has are experts in loots, lies, deceptions, killing and destruction.
No single Nigerian administrator or politician knows what's happening anywhere beyond the shores of our country.
They only know how to steal public funds and divert them to many already developed nations of the world without trace.
They only know how to celebrate mediocrity, nothing good can ever come from Nigeria till the world will end.
Just imagine a governor giving chicken change to those athletes who have spent all their livelihoods to serve Nigeria unaided by the nation from the onset.
