Do you believe in working to achieve anything? You think it is by being black-Hard work was put in to achieve that feat starting from a Government that knows what it is to invest in sporting infrastructure. This is not  Your Olympic team that got stranded even b/4 they reached the venue.

Our Niger Deltans can swim for hours under the water to bomb underground pipelines but will never use their talent for something better like going to Olympic.Sadly, most of our talents are only to do evil. whats a shame!
