I don't understand you! The Item is not backlogged meaning that the average delivery time for the particular bicycle is approximately 3 to 4 weeks from the order date. Is part of that do you not understand? undecided
so an event is ending in few days n it will take 3-4 weeks to deliver the bike n u still want the bike available before then

Haba

U are even contradicting yourself in your response

They should Sack all of them,from the Minister-down,so that those coming will not waste our resources.
Remember one past Minister from Plateau State - foming woke recently, during the so called ' hunger protest'!
This lazy Minister during Buhari,had audacity to join the Youth - while when he was there,he failed to achieve anything,not even any Medals,yet the Confused Youth still accommodate him!
That Abuja Glass House should be dismantled,for they contributed nothing and they're all just swallowing the Yearly Budgets of Govt.
Very Shameful Indeed.

This explanation doesn't make any sense.
Intact, it would have been better if no explanation was made.

Sometimes when a person cannot comprehend a Statement it is usually 2 things involved; inability of the reader to comprehend or the inability of the writer to convey his message....I think the former is true here because I understand the official account of what happens but hatred and bitterness can block mental reasoning.

Although $10,299 without shipping cost is an amount we shouldn't be spending on one bike for an athlete to compete in a sport she wasn't prepared to enter for but our overnight lovers of Nigeria will not find that as wasteful spending until the whole monies are tallied and gets to billions of dollar then dem go open the fufu smelling mouth and hand to type lubbish grin

People don't get fired in Nigeria for incompetence so things like this keep happening

Take bolt enter town in Paris you will get that bike in less than 2hours.

Get receipt and apply for a refund from the Federation and save the country embarrassment but no. Nigeria has to be embarrassed through any means necessary.

For this track race reallocated to Team Nigeria, a very special equipment (approved specifically for the Olympic track game) is used. It'll take months to have it delivered after ordering and making payment.

Indeed. but it took Germany a few days to make it available to athlete that was part of their contingent

The part I don't 100% believe is where he said they disqualified a country and Nigeria was the next. I have some questions of my own. Why was Nigeria choosing as the next? There must have been a reason why Nigeria was selected because I am sure there are many other nations that could have also qualified.

If you have ever bought a new car, you would know it can take months and even years to deliver. Even the ones for the crooks in the Senate and HOR took months to deliver.

I just ordered a Toyota grandhighlander in July, and I was given a date of 8 - 16 months for delivery.

Even the track bike used for a track event in the Olympic can take weeks or even months to deliver.

You’re very stupid to bring up such a defense

How doesn't this make sense? Nigeria was not supposed to participate in the event, she's only riding because another country git disqualified.
You people are just delusional and always looking fir someone to blame gir your sorry miserable low lives.
You expect them to have a bike for an event that she was not qualified to participate in?
Bunch of jokers.

Considering the circumstances, those are special sport bikes designed specifically to meet Olympic competition standards, you don't just buy them on the streets of Paris.

Let's be reasonable for once!

She told half of the story to get sympathy. Victim slave mentality is prevalent among some people.
Pathetic.

She's only participating in the event because another country got disqualified. She was not expected to participate hence the reason why she didn't have the right equipment.
I bet more stories like this happen to others, but bitter Nigerians will always try to milk a story for their own bitter souls.

To deliver to Nigeria and be ship to France abi? With the 12billion budgeted for the Olympics. You mumu doesn't mean everybody too will be mumu and some persons are even liking your post. Smh

First of all, cars don't take months anymore unless you are stuck in a very remote place on this planet— Domestically built: Can take 6–8 weeks
Built overseas: Can take 3 months or longer. Second, a bike is not a car, so dead this nonsense argument of yours. undecided

Some cars take a month all depends

🤦🏾‍♂️ 🤦🏾‍♂️.. I don't understand how this watery attempt at an explanation makes sense to some people.

Reasonable folks are asking how the federation is claiming long delivery times for an olympic bicycle that is not a "custom built luxury vehicle" that needs Preordering.

Additionally, why can't a government sports federation ask for "swift express delivery" based on urgent prevailing circumstances even if it means paying more to the manufacturer or retailer.

Daft defenders of the TINUBUVERSE in their usual, assured idiocy are justifying this silly explanation.

Chichi is not coming out again from the 12billion budgeted because money has been sheared after the little they have released for the Olympics. There is even a questions you all are not asking

The comments here essentially shows why and how fast we have to restructure this country and transition permanently to parliamentarian system of government. The people just wann complain and castigate leaders not affiliated to their tribes even in the face of clear explanation that duly shows the contingents were caught unaware.
INTERNET search and platforms support the minister's explanation but certain insatiable individuals want more.


lexy2014:

This one didn't even bother to read the post before rushing to crucify the minister. He already has innate hate for the government so he jumps on anything or excuse he can get to abuse them.

Kukutente23:

The point you Zombies are missing which the athlete was trying to call attention to is that she does not have a bike in the first place. Many of you defenders of govt ineptitude miss that basic fact.

That explains why she never qualified.

That explains why she had to borrow a bike when she got to the Olympics.

In other words, if not for the disqualification of the other team, she won't have any chance of owning a bike.

Meanwhile sons of our politicians go about in far expensive powerbikes speedracing all over Abuja!!
baba go and read the post again....she did not qualify for this category initially.....wetin dey difficult to understand for here? you want Nigeria to purchase a bike used for another event for someone dat did not qualify for that category? she will race again in the category she qualified for with the bicycle Nigeria purchased for her.....simple and short.....u sef reason am na...how cyclist go dey go olympic without bicycle?
