Photo: See the email sent to Nigeria's Athletes asking them to pay for their tickets to Rio 2016
Veteran sports journalist, Colin Udoh shared this via
Social Media. According to him, "This is the email from Nigeria Sports
Ministry to athletes to pay their way to Rio when they're still being
owed outstandings."
There's enough money for Buhari to travel to London with a plane load of Assistants to treat his ear infection but not enough to send our athletes to Rio. His wife flies all over Nigeria on taxpayers plane, and uses our plane as a private property. Yet there's no office of the First lady. Change indeed.
This is wrong in every aspect, can't believe adequate preparations haven't really been made for Olympic for crying out loud! It's quite a shame,and the FG was blabbing few days ago about sponsoring only those that will be participating, not putting into consideration that aside the trophies, participation matters too. #Shame
This is very sad. Worst still, is the grammar. This is supposed to be an official email from a Federal Ministry in a 21st Century country. How disgraceful.
I weep for my country! Our politicians acquire set of brand new SUVs from time to time and which costs millions of dollars yet they can't pay for the tickets of our athletes that are expected to win 100 gold medals?! Selfishness and Wickedness of the highest proportion! God is watching!
The shock of athletes paying their way is yet to pass now this? A government official wrote this???? Lord knows how many such people work in the country's diplomatic sphere. Nigeria sinks to a new low.
Later they will start inviting promising youngsters abroad to come play for their country and when they chose another country other than Nigeria they start cursing that person...how will they come with such corruption in the NFF?
I'm more appalled by the bad grammar in this mail than anything else!!!!! My goodness! I'd have said its a fake if I'd read it anywhere else. How in God's name can this be an email from a government office?!! We talk and laugh about it everyday but this just goes to show the level of rot and decay in the system. I'd fire whoever wrote this in a second, I'm sorry. Gradually it's becoming normal for people to use"your" in place of "you're"!! Just like I read people writing "am" when they mean to say "I'm". Odiegwu!!!😢😢😢
Sorry dear! It ain't fake anything, the civil service is a big joke! Peeps who are not qualified get put in positions due to their GodFathers....so what do u expect? U vent seen anything, go and bid for govt contract then u will know that this govt is SUPER CORRUPT!!
Are they going there for adventure or some sort of personal trip that they'll pay for their tickets? All these brainless animals we have in this country as our leaders.
We don,t always prepare well for any competition yet we want the best,even if athletes go for Rio they will not be at their best because of all these challenges. NIGERIA we hail thee
This is the shame of a nation. With all the money they claim have been returned and 3 trillion Naira generated through the TSA, Buhari government can't pay for air tickets for our athletes. Everyone should understand by now that all those returning of money are just propaganda. We are indeed on a one chance bus.....SMH
That email isn't fake anything. It is very real...d civil service is very decayed and it's even gettiing worse now, with favouritism intead of merit....peeps who ain't qualified are put in positions of authority. How can u win any medal when u are not even willing to buy ticket?? The other I saw Buhari talking about releasing all d money for Rio.....I just laughed and said to my self when will all these propaganda stop? How long will a govt use propaganda to deceive it's citizens? U can win an election with propaganda but u can never successfully govern with propaganda! NEVER! Ur aides lie every fucking minute to our faces. At least with Jonathan we knew what we were up against!
Who noticed the question? if it's indeed real,the message asked IF they could pay their way? That is for those outside who could afford it.You guys don't seem to know the mess we are in with FOREX? If I was the President, I will cancel the Olympics participation outrightly!
The poor punctuation caught my eyes and I only have one thing in mind after seeing this.....why am I a Nigeria? Thunder fire devil bcos Nigeria is a complete mess. God pls scatter this mistake called Nigeria, it is not working and it won't work
Nigeria is a mistake that needs be disintegrated. What a shame Grammar blunders, punctuation blunders Why am I a Nigerian? I regret ending up in Naija....tufia-kwa
