I wish the Nigeria contingent the best.

On a more serious note, I hope Nigeria has not included a "have -a-go-hero" in the contingent.

In the Olympics of 2000, it was "Eric the Eel" from Equatorial Guinea who could not swim to save the life of his parents. Now in London 2012, it's Hamadou Djobou Issaka (a rower?) of Niger. If you don't know, when all the other nations had finished the heat Hamadou was still struggling in vain to catch up with them. 

Why do African nations like to "show off" their ineptitude in getting ready for such events. Hamadou had only three months of training. As far as I am concerned that is no excuse. We know every 4 years the Olympics comes round and nations start to get their athletes ready. But for Africa it's as if the invitation to the London 2012 only came in the post yesterday and there was a scamble to find representatives for the various events.   

I thought the Olympics was for the best of the best to compete in? Not for nations who through the years are always ill prepared and send in anything to answer "present master." If Hamadou is the best in his country, Niger, can bring for the Games in London shame on them.

Africa should understand that behind all the clapping from the spectators when one of ours is still struggling to finish when the race is long over, it does not leave Africa in good light. We appear forever beggars!

If nations like,  Senegal and other African nations in the long distant races (Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia etc) and of course Nigeria are "in it to win it,"  why send "have a go heros?"

People as young as 15 and 16 are competing and doing their nations proud by winning medals. Everyone wants to show the world "what you can do we can do better."   

As a continent lets do the same thing. Lets be patriotic and disciplined and send in people who give their own quota. When answering the call of the IOC to send in any five people to compete in various events, think of events where you stand a chance. Niger is a landlocked country how does he hope to learn to row 3 months prior to the beggest sporting event.

I know in Niger when he gets home he will be hailed a hero and probably be made the  president in the next election or become a film star in a home movie!!!

Good luck to him!!!!!!

And by the way, when will we see an indigene of the Niger delta (riverine area) in an Olympic swimming event? You would think because they are surrounded by water they can at least learn to swim!!!
