Amazing lady!! Proof that even among the sea of corruption there are many hidden gems!

Anabel:

Sigh ...... I thought I was talking with someone reasonable.
Have a good weekend ok .... don't trip over your silliness

Anabel:

And what is the difference between Man U and Chelsea this season ??

Anabel:

and you think Man U has done any better without him ??

better this than joining bokoharam i guess

Wow, for you to pass Indians na serious achievement!

psucc:
Yes, it may not be a mistake at all. Nigeria is gradually overtaking other terror-prone countries with the level of violence going on.

You are not safe in the hands of the other person and worst still, the security operatives.

Badgers14:
Maybe he codedly obtained Afghan citizenship and the hotel just busted him...

....
one one mineral for each of these two funny fellas

Maybe he came to pay the $7M reward for Shekau's head.

Some clueless folks here are busy arguing which tribe the suspect comes from while the rest of the world (billions) see the suspect as a Nigerian.

This is just a tease, where is the aftermath video?? I know many girls in that club would have lined up outside his hotel door ...

henrydadon:

A gold medal for those brave soldiers. (Excluding the generals please)

Sometime back, in my friend circle, one guy introduced this girl as his fiancé. He too raved about her 'purity' and 'virgin' status. I noticed one of my other friend looking uncomfortable. Later that day, I queried the other friend over drinks why he looked one how when our mutual friend was introducing his lovely young recent college graduate as his wife to be. He then confessed that he actually met this same young girl a while back when he was visiting universities for "fresh meat action". He then dropped the bombshell that he had actually done PhD thesis on that pünäni back then.
We laughed over it well and eventually attended our mutual friend's wedding with his lovely 'virgin' wife. It was a great celebration and we did not judge because whatever has happened in the past is the past.

WHO IS THAT SHORT GUY IN THE TEAM FOR GODS SAKE,IS IT A JOKE OR WHATAND DONT WE HAVE WINE TO POP? WHY HAS BUHARI MADE EVERYTHING SO HARD IN THIS COUNTRY

The short guy is still growing na ..... champagne is too expensive ... even zobo would have worked

NoreenUG:


Meeeen, the thing was a flop!

I was almost moved to tears when I saw our athletes BEGGING for money on Twitter after the Sports Ministry neglected them.

I was completely embarrassed when I heard about the hand our athletes were dealt in Atlanta (ref: Hotel payments and being stranded with no flight).

The last straw was when I watched them at the opening ceremony with TRACKSUITS because somebody failed at his responsibilities.

It was at that point that I realized the Sports Ministry did NOT deserve any victories, and I prayed the Nigerian athletes would DEFECT to countries that would appreciate and treat them better.
I will keep saying it: Incompetence should NOT be rewarded.

Well, that's water under the bridge.

PS: Did you know that 15 Nigerians featured for other countries this year, and that 11 out of those 15 athletes won medals for their respective countries?

Damn.

Yes I agree. most share the same feelings of anger, embarrassment and pity at the situation.
I still do not think the Nigerian Olympic committee / athletics program can take credit for this bronze. Youth football is fairly established in Nigeria and pretty successful despite the incompetence of our sports federation and corruption of the leaders.

benji93:

Not many, we failed in all, i might only single out Aruna quadri for securing a quarter final berth before losing to the world's currently most ranked table tennis player.

Can we blame our athletes though? No proper training facilities, no funding .... and to even compete at the Olympics, a boat load of logistical issues caused by our incompetent sports & athletics administrators

CrazyQuinn:
it comes with benefits. Camouflage in the dark

ha ha .... see .... you are already in love with your new country : Ghana

NoreenUG:


This is FALSE, please.
Ivory Coast already has GOLD in Taekwondo.

Let's face it.
Naija is not as good as many of us try to make it look; and this exceptionalist narrative is exactly what has turned the country into a conurbation of delusional, overrated under-acheivers.

Yes I made a mistake.
However, I am not undermining the achievement of our football team. They had a phenomenal achievement which has to be recognized.
Yes, we failed in many other events. No fault of the athletes. Especially track and field where we used to win medals in the past

ilivehere:

Wrong! Cote d'ivoire won gold yesterday in taekwondo.

Nigerdeltaboi:
nope Ivory coast just won gold in teakwondo .

Askubur:

Ivory Coast wins first
Olympic gold

You guys are all correct, thank you. I was mistaken.
Over happiness at our Bronze made me forget to cross check the facts.
