Mr president it's possible but very unrealistic(100% unrealistic) The possibility is based on your assumptions and paper work from Aso Rock. To achieve it will take more than 4years of preparation Mr President,your dream will come through in the nearest future but not 4years from now |

The President's expectations are commendable. But It's not just about expectation, it's about timely preparations. Nigeria can venture into some medal-yielding sports such as cycling, swimming and gymnastics, we have people with such talents. Sports administrators should spot them out, and groom them. All this god-fatherism in sports /Olympics selection (whereby people insist that their candidates/ relations must go for olympics) should stop |

That's where the problem lies. If a Nigerian youth aspires to be an athlete what option does he have for training other than football? and the only reason football is popular is because even the laziest most irresponsible leaders can find a grass field and call it a football field. Something as simple as schools having teams is what makes America dominate because American kids can play any sport they want from the age of 7 and up, and most are involved in 1 sport because of the diversity of options and accessibility. Same could be said about european kids. where can someone go to practice basketball? swimming, etc. it's only during the last few months before the Olympics that Nigeria remembers they have to get ready and you see them trying to scrap together rag tag teams of random nigerian americans to represent the country that have never met each other let alone played any sport on the same team. 1 Like |

If Olympic medals were won by mere proclamation then Nigeria will beat the US and China on the medals table. Our problem is that we always want to achieve results with mouth instead of putting the machineries that will serve as a catalyst for change. |

gossips: I hope Mr. President understands that it isn't just in the saying... Mr. President is a man of a lot of talking but little action. We have never done well in any olympics. Our best olympic, we got just few medals. |

What do you expect from a zoologist turned president? I'm still part of the school of thought that say leaders are born not made. No offence! It's just a way to say I have my own d..ck"opinion" |

“Every state has some level of comparative advantage in one form of sports or the order and if every state will promise Nigerians that we will give you a medal in this area and another medal in this area that means we are expecting 36 medals. How will this happen? With cooperation of lazy state governors? I laughed. ![]() I remember during the time of OBJ first term as president, he said during one of the media chat that when he came in as president he told the governors to adhere to a crop per state and plant it extensively, and the state will be known with that name of the crop. But the governors didn't listen to his advise, because they always got free oil money. Nigeria is a derailed country. |
