Nigeria had a $5.77 million (N9 billion) budget for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Sadly, the country failed to win a medal.

Nigeria won two Olympic medals in 2021. Blessing Oborududu won a Silver medal and Ese Brume won a Bronze medal.

I don't blived this news

There are some Monikers I feel are making this site to become boring, they occupy every thread and it's tiresome repeating same opinions over and over and spreading bigotry.
It's difficult to get new perspectives here, before I read comments now I have to first check the Moniker to avoid saturating my brain with too many nonsense.

All efforts to cleanup this site by the owner seems to have failed because some of the old bigoted Mods that people complained about are still in charge and not adding new value to Nairaland, perhaps they are his relatives 🤔

Back to the topic, how can a country that spent N90B on Muslim pilgrims to Mecca and another potential N90B for Christians to Jerusalem and Rome but spent N9B for its athletes to Olympics (most of it may have even been embezzled) expect to win medals 🏅
Athletes even had to go around begging other contingents for bicycle 🚲 to compete
Perhaps we should continue praying for medals in the Holy Lands. Mad rulers and mad citizens, Ndi ala, Asiwere eniyan

Imagine

I blame Tinubu

What a monumental disgrace. Our Nigerian born athletes are racking up medals with other countries, but all we had to show for the Olympics was steeze on arrival.

Even Ukraine that have been fighting war for two years pack medals. 🥲

Meanwhile👇🏾

Tinubu illegitimate govt is so wasteful!

What an outing.

Una never see anything
When tinubu go finish with una go learn

most of you will still believe this!!

You guys can believe anything....

Nothing good can come out of a government that is accursed

Tinubu is a bad luck.

They are are being conservative, it's actually N12 billion

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2024/07/paris-olympic-nigerias-participation-to-gulp-over-n12bn/amp/

More like 2billion was spent and 7 billion pocketed and shared amongst the planning committee

I don't believe it. 9 billion for what? Were they hosting the Olympics?

Except if it's for fraud else I don't believe it

abegi.

FAKE NEWS.

Definition of bad luck

arrant nonsense, corruption has infiltrated every sector

U can budget 100 trillion but during giving you gave them
Urgent 2k as the cash you have at hand.
Abeg no mind government budget.
Nonsense and ingredients.

well, i am not surprised! Preparation for Olympics is a long year journey and i dont expect our short sighted leaders to understand that ..🤔

Less than HAJJ

Billions and no medal

Drug criminal syndrome of Bola Tilumbu gave the Nigerian team a bad luck.

Achigoxtech:
I blame Tinubu

Why not look in the mirror first and blame the person you see. The minister and all the staff responsible for this worst performance should be immediately sacked.

#9 billion😨😨😨
Why not take that money to Goldsmith for Aboki place go mould Gold medals naaa since it's obvious we won't be clinching any gold🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

I don't blived this news

you as shocked as I am

9 bn and yet no money for 🚴 bicycle
Anyway I was not expecting any medals and have already said it before in a post on this site

If a president that could not think through and plan well before announcing such a great policy and just announced ‘SUBSIDY IS GONE’ and also devaluation of Naira, then expecting his appointee to plan is an impossible task and that we can clearly see , no bike , failure to register your best hand and many more

The most surprising one is that we presently have the world record holder (Tobi Amusan) and she could not qualify for final ( bad luck ) and poor planning and we keep having Nigeria origin that forsake the country and register with another country getting all the medals


Nigeria who did this to you
