Hi everyone out there,today once again i raise a topical issue about the Nigeria minister for sports Abudulraheem Gimba,when country athletes staged a massive protest at the Federal Capital Territory Abuja yesterday. The athletes are unhappy with the way the minister is playing politics with sports,protesting that they were supposed to be in Korea for a two week training tour and they are still within the country,why ? they asked.
Meanwhile the minister is involved in political power show with his subordinates in the ministry,the same minister removed the names of six doctors from the list of personal going to the games leaving only 3 doctors for the team, imagine. Imagine a minister who knows not when the country failed to qualify for the relays due to funds to take the relay team for a qualifier in Greece, yet he same minister removed 6 doctors for the games that he knows next to nothing about. Imagine.
Now will the minister be allowed to continue with this slow killing of he country's sports?, while athletes suffer under the harsh environment he created , he goes about the country bickering with his subordinates. I feel the athletes should be respected and the Presidency look into bringing a sport person instead of a technocrat to ruin sports in the country. Remember that sports is the only unifying factor that holds this country together. Please post your views and comments to this blog.
