vanariso: Pls stop referring to these these guys as "disable" athletes/persons... its wrong, misleading and demeaning..but u all guys all listen to comments on international TV!!!! Must it be crushed and engraved into your brains? Gosh...pls call them guys with "special abilities"......Its shows how unreasonable and irrational we truly are..even the educated are so foolish,inflexible and uncultured.....Nigerians......huh!!

I'm sorry but how is 'special abilities' a better way to describe someone without legs?

Do you think they want to be picked and classed into different categories? For people to treat them different?

'Special abilities' is even more demeaning than the one you are insulting others against.

It's not impossible that our olympic delegates are paralysed internally.

that's the type of competition Nigeria will excel. A competition with high possibility of cheating. I am sure the so called disabled fellow must be faking it.

''What a man can do a woman can do it better'' and there is ''ability in disability''. All pointing towards the minority shall become the majority, the 1st shall be the last.

An average Nigerian is a bigot. How on earth do you enjoy deriding others by labelling them disabled. Special abilities means doing something that is difficult for the average person to achieve. I am very proud of our brother who has just won gold. What an achievement!

afam4eva: They've already started doing us proud. What an abled Nigerian athlete cannot do, a disabled Nigerian athlete can do and even more.

I think we should try voting in a disabled person into aso rock, just maybe our fortunes will change for the better.
hallucination 101!!!

How dare you accuse these hardworking people of faking their physical conditions! You are everything that is wrong with Nigeria. Do you know how much trouble they went through to become a world class athletes inspite of their physical challenges?

IBADAN, we have done it again at the 2012 London Paralympics. We discovered him, and we Oyo state Sports Council have delivered d first Gold medal for Nigerians. Agbara po has lifted a metal weight three times is body size and broke the world record in paralympics. Kudos to Coach Aransi for discovering this guy.

Who told you that this man is disabled He has performed way better than the so called able bodied people! Don't you think its hightime we redefine what disability is all about?
As far as I'm concerned, the people that went for the main olympics are the disabled ones (highly disabled).
