Sport is no longer a recreational
activity but:� Tool for national unity
� Peace
� Productive engagement of Youths
� Tourism
� Another show of organization
� Foreign investment, etc.
One major thing that united Nigerians in the 90’s
was Football, especially when we won the
Atlanta96 Gold medal in Football. That medal was
worth more than all other medals put together.
Team Nigeria experience at the
London2012 Olympic Games is the
worst in recent times.

for it.

Nigeria is too loaded to be searching for
Gold medal like lost riches.
If Political Parties can strategize for
2015 Elections in 2011, why are we not
planning for Sports the same way?
Imagine Swimming Pools made readily
available in each LGA
Imagine equipped Sports Centres in every
Schools
We are not short of Resources, but short
of Good intention to do what is right!
N2Billion spent and no medal to
show for it
If we decide to do nothing Now, 2016
Olympics is just around the corner
6 months Preparation cannot
guarantee a Medal
Medals are won long before
competitions begin
We can surely do better
If we Prepare early!
Nigerians Can, Lets Start Now!
I See Medals!
