Yes! It's once again! Another TERRIBLY BAD NEWS for the Nigerian Sports lndustry and the Nation! Yes! It's no longer NEWS that the much heralded 2024 PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES have Come and Gone; with Different Stories for Different Nations! The PARIS OLYMPICS, truly Lived up to it's Ratings as One of the Greatest OLYMPICS GAMES of All Time! However! What is the REAL BIG SHOCKING NEWS; is that while OTHER NATIONS Came Back from the PARIS OLYMPICS, with MEDALS to Show for their EFFORTS and FUNDS invested in their PARTICIPATION at the PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES? Our own Dear NIGERIA, Came Back WITH NO MEDAL to Show for both the NATION'S EFFORTS and HUGE FINANCIAL RESOURCES that the NATION pumped into the PARIS OLYMPICS Project; despite ALL OUR ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS!
Yes! The NATION is Reported to have Sunk a Collosal sum of over N12 BILLION NAIRA into our PARTICIPATION at the PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES! And these are SCARCE FUNDS, Solely and Direly needed by a NIGERIA, currently Bleeding and Suffocating from A VERY SERIOUS ECONOMIC CRISIS; that saw the NIGERIAN PEOPLE, Embark on a 10-DAY HUNGER PROTEST; as a result of the Strangulating HARDSHIP being Experienced by the MASSES of the Nation! The (MEDAL-Less) OUTING of the Nigeria CONTINGENT to the PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES; is indeed Awful and a BLATANT MURDER of the IMAGE of the NATION! Because! The NATION went to the PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES with a SIZEABLE NUMBER of ATHLETES (82 Athletes); and PARTICIPATED in Another Equally SIZEABLE NUMBER of SPORTS EVENTS (11 Sports Events)! So! The NATION'S (MEDAL-Less) EMBARRASSING OUTING at the PARIS OLYMPICS; Cannot be Attributed or Traced to INSUFFICIENT ATHLETES or SPORTING EVENTS REPRESENTATION!
Yes! The NATION'S highly DISGRACEFUL (MEDAL-Less) PERFORMANCE at the OLYMPICS, Cannot again be Adduced to INADEQUATE FUNDING as the N12 BILLION NAIRA Voted for the NATION'S PARTICIPATION at PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES; was MORE THAN ENOUGH to Cater for 82 ATHLETES and their FEW OFFICIALS; that Ordinarily SHOULD NOT BE MORE THAN 30 OFFICIALS! Yes! We were all Living Witnesses that So Many African NATIONS like Kenya, Algeria, South Africa, Ethiopia, Botswana, Tunisia, Uganda, Ivory Coast, Zambia St. Lucia came to the PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES with a VERY SMALL ATHLETES CONTINGENT in VERY FEW SPORTING EVENTS and Far Less FUNDS INVESTMENT! And! These AFRICAN NATIONS with their SLIM DELEGATION/PARTICIPATION; Came Back WITH EVEN GOLD MEDALS! Yes! While ONE (1) SMALL NATION (St. Lucia); went to the PARIS OLYMPICS and Carted Away ONE GOLD MEDAL and ONE SILVER MEDAL? NIGERIA (a Whole GIANT of AFRICA); Well renowned and highly respected for it's SPORTING POTENTIALS and PROWESS in Different SPORTING EVENTS? NIGERIA, Went to the PARIS OLYMPICS with High Optimism and Pomp and Pageantry; COMPETED alongside OTHER NATIONS in 11 SPORTS EVENTS? And! NIGERIA; CAME BACK HOME WITH NO MEDAL!
No! The MEDAL-Less SHOWING of NIGERIA at the just Concluded 2024 PARIS OLYMPICS from All Classifications and Ratings; A VERY HUGE EMBARRASSMENT/DISGRACE to the Entire NATION! Yes! Because! The NATION can do MUCH BETTER THAN THIS! How Can a DREADED SPORTS NATION like NIGERIA; PREPARE and GO TO THE OLYMPICS GAMES? And COME BACK with NO MEDAL (of ANY COLOUR) and the NATION'S NAME MISSING on the MEDALS MAP of the OLYMPICS GAMES? And! The WORST SHAME of All to our Dear NATION! Is that this is NOT the FIRST TIME in RECENT OLYMPICS GAMES; that the NATION is COMING BACK (MEDAL-Less)! Yes! The NATION'S MEDAL HISTORY in the LAST 4 OLYMPICS GAMES spanning LONDON 2012; RIO 2016; TOKYO 2020; and PARIS 2024; Shows that NIGERIA has WON ONLY ONE (SOLITARY) BRONZE MEDAL from the FOOTBALL EVENT of the 2016 RIO OLYMPICS GAMES! The lmplication of this Hard Reality is that WITHIN THE LAST 4 OLYMPICS GAMES; NIGERIA has FAILED TO WIN ANY MEDAL in 3 of the OLYMPICS GAMES!
Infact! This Scandalous and Disgraceful (MEDAL-Less) SHOWING at the RECENT OLYMPICS, is Definitely Not Palatable and Highly Worrisome! Because, the NATION is Brimming and Bustling with a Serious Reservoir of SPORTS TALENTS and POTENTIALS; Widely Acknowledged, the World over! Yes! The NATION, is indeed Richly Blessed with NATURALLY GIFTED SPORTS TALENTS scattered Everywhere in All Nooks and Corners of NIGERIA! The YOUNG GIFTED SPORTS TALENTS, are there in their THOUSANDS; Only Waiting Patiently for Astute Patriotic Visionary and Missionary Sports Administrations; to DISCOVER and EXPOSE their ENORMOUS SPORTS POTENTIALS! But! The Most Depressing and Highly lrritating aspect of our MEDAL-Less SHAMEFUL PERFORMANCES at RECENT 4 Straight OLYMPICS GAMES? Is that when we GO TO THE OLYMPICS GAMES; and COME BACK with NO MEDAL? NOTHING is DONE to INQUIRE WHY such a WOEFUL PERFORMANCE! We just behave as if EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT and WE JUST MOVE ON to MORE Embarrassing FAILURES! Yes! This is how the NATION has continued to NEGLECT to PROBE into the CAUSES and REASONS of our Sudden Abysmal DECLINE at the RECENT Past 3 OLYMPICS GAMES (London 2012; Rio 2016; and Tokyo 2020); where we CAME BACK with a CUMULATIVE ONE BRONZE MEDAL!
Yes! It's the COLLECTIVE REFUSAL of the NATION to QUERY why our DISGRACEFUL OLYMPICS SHOWINGS of immediate PAST OLYMPICS; that have led the NATION to this our Current MEDAL-Less EMBARRASSING OUTING at PARIS OLYMPICS! *SLIDING* *TACKLES* is Shouting - NO! WE JUST CAN'T CONTINUE LIKE THIS! NO! We CAN'T CONTINUE WASTING our VALUABLE Lean NATIONAL RESOURCES to GO to the OLYMPICS GAMES; and COME BACK MEDAL-Less! And! The SPORTS ADMINISTRATORS who the NATION Entrusted with MANAGING our OLYMPICS PARTICIPATION (and WHO brought us the NATIONAL SHAME); are NOT CALLED TO QUESTION! Yes! It's this FAILURE to QUESTION why after All the NATION'S HUGE RESERVOIR of SPORTS TALENTS and HUGE FINANCIAL INVESTMENT in PARTICIPATION in the OLYMPICS GAMES! That's the REAL CAUSE of our Present DISASTROUS OUTING at the PARIS OLYMPICS; One Huge NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT, too many! *SLIDING* *TACKLES* is therefore, CALLING FOR A FULL PROBE/INQUIRY of All the CIRCUMSTANCES concerning HOW OUR SHAMEFUL (MEDAL-Less) OLYMPICS OUTING; CAME TO BE! Yes! A COMPLETE PROBE of the NATION'S PARTICIPATION at PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES, is Mandatory! Because! If the NATION doesn't INQUIRE into the ROOT and REMOTE CAUSES of WHY the NATION has Consistently FAILED WOEFULLY in the MOST RECENT 4 OLYMPICS GAMES? Then! The NATION shall CONTINUE to COME BACK from the OLYMPICS GAMES without MEDALS just like especially in London 2012; Tokyo 2020; and Paris 2024!
*(SIT-TIGHT)* *POLITICAL* ( *SPORTS* *MISFITS* ) *ADMINISTRATORS*!
Yes! While! The NATION Eagerly awaits a THOROUGH COMPREHENSIVE PROBE of the REASONS and CAUSES of the NATION'S TERRIBLY BAD PERFORMANCE at the just Concluded PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES (as a Ladder to get to the FAILURES of PAST OLYMPICS GAMES); by MR. PRESIDENT! *SLIDING* *TACKLES* Shall Boldly Jump The Gun and Preempt the PROBE/INQUIRY! Yes! *SLIDING* *TACKLES* Shall Pre-eminently place the SOLE BLAME for the NATION'S Consistent OLYMPICS GAMES DISGRACEFUL SHOWINGS; Right at the DOORSTEPS of the (SIT-TIGHT) POLITICAL (MISFITS); Who are POLITICIANS and HAVE NO STAKE in the NIGERIA SPORTS INDUSTRY! But! Who just USED POLITICAL CONNECTIONS; to INVADE/BULLDOZE into the HELMS of AFFAIRS of the NIGERIA SPORTS INDUSTRY; Not REPRESENTING ANY SPORTS CONSTITUENCY or GROUP! Yes! The POLITICIANS who BURGLED into our NIGERIAN SPORTS HOUSE (Sports Federations Boards)? Should be HELD SOLELY RESPONSIBLE for the ENTIRE OLYMPICS EMBARRASSMENT ; by the NATION! Because! A Study of the BOARDS of Majority of our SPORTS FEDERATIONS; Exposes the Grim Reality that MAJORITY of the NIGERIA SPORTS FEDERATIONS BOARD MEMBERS; are NOT REAL STAKEHOLDERS of the SPORTS EVENTS, they MANAGE! Yes! Apart from a VERY FEW SPORTS FEDERATIONS BOARDS like Wrestling, Weightlifting and Judo; who are MANAGED by FORMER ATHLETES? The OTHER SPORTS FEDERATIONS BOARDS, are Populated by and MANAGED by EXTERNAL INVADING MERCENARIES; Who USED POLITICAL CONNECTIONS to BULLDOZE into the ADMINISTRATION of Various SPORTS FEDERATIONS BOARDS!
*SLIDING* *TACKLES* is also heaping the BLAME of our highly Unacceptable and lgnonimous PERFORMANCE at RECENT OLYMPICS GAMES; on SPORTS POLITICAL MISFITS Who INVADED and ANNEXED the ADMINISTRATION of the NIGERIA SPORTS INDUSTRY, from NOWHERE! Because! The POLITICIANS turned MISFITS SPORTS ADMINISTRATORS; are TOTALLY INCHARGE of the ADMINISTRATION of their Different SPORTING EVENTS (which THEY FORCEFULLY USURPED)! And! Therefore! The FINAL BUCK STOPS ON THEIR POLITICAL SPORTS MISFITS ADMINISTRATORS, Table! Yes! Another GOOD REASON to BLAME the (SIT-TIGHT) POLITICIANS SPORTS MISFITS ADMINISTRATORS for the WOES of the NATION at RECENT OLYMPICS GAMES? Is that the (SIT-TIGHT) POLITICAL SPORTS MISFITS ADMINISTRATORS, Who HIJACKED the ADMINISTRATION of our SPORTS, have been at the HELM of AFFAIRS for the PAST 4 OLYMPICS GAMES, where the NATION has been EMBARRASSED Maximally! Yet! These (SIT-TIGHT) POLITICIANS MISFITS SPORTS ADMINISTRATORS, have REFUSED TO LEAVE for FRESH PEOPLE to COME IN with FRESH IDEAS! Yes! It's Exactly the SAME SET of POLITICIANS (turned) SPORTS MISFITS ADMINISTRATORS that were INCHARGE, when the NATION was MESSED UP at the 2012 LONDON OLYMPICS GAMES with NO MEDAL! And! It's Exactly the SAME SET of POLITICIANS MISFITS SPORTS ADMINISTRATORS, that WERE INCHARGE when the NATION'S SPORTS IMAGE , was BATTERED Mercilessly with Only ONE SOLITARY BRONZE MEDAL at the 2016 RIO OLYMPICS GAMES! And! Yet Again! These SAME POLITICIANS MISFITS SPORTS ADMINISTRATORS were the PEOPLE that SUPERVISED the BUTCHERING of the NATION'S SPORTS RATINGS at the 2020 TOKYO OLYMPICS with NO MEDALS!
And! Yes! The SAME SET of (SIT-TIGHT) POLITICIANS MISFITS SPORTS ADMINISTRATORS, have NOW BLUNDERED the NATION'S IMAGE with a (MEDAL-Less) 2024 PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES PERFORMANCE! *SLIDING* *TACKLES* is therefore FINALLY ASKING this Salient QUESTION - IS IT NOT HIGH TIME THAT THE (SIT-TIGHT) POLITICAL SPORTS MISFITS ADMINISTRATORS, (Who Have FAILED the NATION Consistently FOR SEVERAL OLYMPICS GAMES)! GIVE WAY FOR THE REAL STAKEHOLDERS; TO TAKE OVER THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE NIGERIA SPORTS INDUSTRY; WHERE THE STAKEHOLDERS, MAKE HUGE FINANCIAL INVESTMENT? Yes! This is the ONLY WAY for our SPORTS INDUSTRY to MOVE FORWARD! And! Also! The ONLY WAY that the NATION can FORESTALL future MEDAL-Less OLYMPICS OUTING Situations like we have especially WITNESSED in the just concluded 2024 PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES! Yes! The Highly Unpalatable and Unflattering SHAMEFUL (MEDAL-Less) SHOWING of NIGERIA at the PARIS OLYMPICS? Is also indeed a HUGE BLESSING in DISGUISE for NIGERIA SPORTS INDUSTRY! Yes! Because! The PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES DISASTROUS OUTING; Shall Remind us of our .............
