Panic has gripped the Olympic team camp here in London
as fear that this may end up being Nigeria’s worst outing at the Olympics.
What everyone has thought would be a happy outing is
now turning into a nightmare with the exit of all Nigeria’s major medal
hopefuls in the athletics (Nigeria’s strongest strength).
Last Night, Nigeria’s bright medal hopeful in the 100 meters,
Blessing Okagbare came a distance last in the finals of the competition.
Other couldn’t make it that far.
Both the male and female competitors fell out of
reckoning venue before the quarter final stages.
This is now given those in the Athletics Federation of
Nigeria (AFN) and the Nigeria Olympic Committee sleepless night.
It was also scooped that the minister of Sports, Bolaji
Abdullahi is at a fix as to what to do and have expressed his displeasure at
the turn out of event.
Although, the finals of the female boxing,wrestlings,judo
and relays are yet to be concluded but it seems all hope is now lost.
All the officials and athletes wore sad long faces when
CKN Nigeria visited the camp this morning in London.
Our attempt to speak to the Minister of sports Bolaji
Abdullahi and the AFN President Solomon Ogba was unsuccessful.
Other officials were also not ready to talk about the
matter since there is a standing order from the Minister that no official
should speak to the press.. CKN Nigeria
