Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

Seems like this Blessing Okagbare is for real!! I wish her all the best...I had tuned out from Nigerian Athletics for years, cause it pained me to see our sprinters do so poorly...but seems like Blessing can get us a medal...even Gold

About 70% of the countries actually have more officials than athletes.

Yomi Bankole passed away earlier this year.
I like Funke Oshonaike, she sure is fine.
Apparently this is her 5th Olympics.

Re: Nigeria Olympic Contingent
Somebody post schedule of all our athletes' events pls.
Re: Nigeria Olympic Contingent
The question is what kind of officials they are. Related to this, I ran into Daniel Igali at Stratford a few minutes ago. He is coaching Nigeria's wrestling team. He was wearing a Canadian jacket apparently because Nigeria did not provide him with one.Chingo Bling wrote:Not true.Super Eagle wrote:Nigeria, the only country that's sending more "officials" than athletes to the games.

I'll watch the wrestling event and see what he is wearing then!
Re: Nigeria Olympic Contingent
Daniel Igali told me that with his own mouth. I asked him directly, 'how come you're wearing a Canadian jacket if you're coaching Nigeria'... his answer... 'they not provide me with a jacket'.wanaj0 wrote:He told you that Nigeria did not provide obey or you are assuming?Roman Obamovitch wrote:The question is what kind of officials they are.

Re: Nigeria Olympic Contingent
Hmmmmmm. The report on Thisday gave a different impression. More like the Canadians gave him/team kits as gifts. So was he the only one singled out?Roman Obamovitch wrote:Daniel Igali told me that with his own mouth.

Re: Nigeria Olympic Contingent
He was the only Nigerian I saw in Canadian kit. Maybe his wrestlers have just not been up and about in the park. Honestly, the Nigerian athletes have not been as visible as many other countries.
Re: Nigeria Olympic Contingent
But isn't it curious that the Canadians will give their kit to our coach and athletes? Will those with potential get tapped up?
