How Sports Commission Officials Made Money From Paralympians, Then Cheated Them by Ptimes: 12:22pm On Nov 20, 2012
When Folashade Oluwafemiayo was chosen as one of the 38 Paralympians to represent Nigeria at the London 2012 Paralympics, she was overjoyed.

Folashade, a power lifter, was well prepared for the global tournament and felt she could earn Nigeria a medal.

To ensure that Folashade and her colleagues performed very well at the games, particularly after Nigeria’s failure at the Olympics, the National Sports Commission decided to take adequate care of the athletes.

The power lifter and her colleagues were told that they would be paid $100 (N15 thousand) per day for the 19 days they would be in London. They were actually paid that.
