This man is full of excuses. You didn't expect this performance? You had more than one year to do this. You have just this one job and you didn't do it well. If we had won medals, he would have been here taking credit.
It all boils down to corruption. Another problem is that there is no punishment for both corruption and failure in our political leadership. Zero grassroot youth development leads to failure. They are there for looting not to make Nigeria great.
Seun, thank you for this interview. However, you have allowed the Minister to escape from making any specific commitment to the Nigerian populace.on all the issues raised. For example, who in the Athletes Federation of Nigeria (AFN) was responsible for the failure of registering Favour Ofili's for her race? Secondly, why should the Minister be claiming that a Nigerian journalist was consoling Favour Ofili when she was crying? When did consoling of athletes become the responsibility of a journalist? Where was the sports psychologist at this time? Where were the members of AFN at this time? The Minister's responses are too general. This is at best, an enlightenment interview and not a solution seeking interview. We are back to square one. He is just defending his position.
Ghana and Nigeria has huge indebtedness in corruption in all aspects of sports, which the minister deny having authority over, which he financed. The NASS need to conduct an open hearing over our abismal performance at the 2024 Olympics. This will guide us for the next edition of the Olympics. The South Africa shall be very happy now that Nigeria could not go ahead group stage in female football event.
@@AlfredHart-kj8fcsouth Africa would have performed way far worse if they found themselves in the same situation the super falcons found themselves.the girls played well at least they were not disgraced.all the team s that beat them were all power house as far as female football is concerned.
The current state of our sport shows clearly that the structures are compromised by the politicians, shameless, and carefree people. Anytime I looked back at great sporting men and women in times past who did serve this beloved country I shed inner tears thinking about the future. Whereas we have those legends, heros, heriones, and stars roaming the streets with nothing interesting to do having served Nigeria and the government never engaging them for expertise advice, and support knowing many of them were graduates of prestigious colleges in the USA, UK, GERMANY, etc and living in the diaspora. To be sincere, there are some parastatals or government ministries and departments that need to be shut down for the next 10 years! These are wasteful entities that look big for nothing before national and international circles. Our leaders should stop feeding us with their stories of woe about corruption. At this pont even a new born baby knows they will blame it on corruption.
How will you call them shame, sheu when your country that was shining all of a sudden, became house of horror nd you want them to do better. Do you know that their failure began in spirit realm. The house is already sick so keep quiet.
Seun, pls. let him know not to worry about the next Olympics. We Nigerians in Los Angeles will help the country save a significant amount of money, which can be better used for things like refurbishing and building schools. We’ll represent the country at the opening & closing ceremonies.
In any civil society, this Minister should have resigned from his office before he got kicked off and many others fired but Africans don't know when to quit the dancing floor.
Tell me why Nigeria should clinch any medals? I don’t understand why anyone should be expecting Nigeria to get any medals. If we don’t face those criminals at every level out it will never be well with Nigeria. But until now, let’s keep fooling around.
I used to think Former President Buhari's set of angelic ministers would be the worst ever in the history of this country for centuries to come but mehn... This group of President Tinubu's "technocrats" are trying really hard to break that record.😢😢😢
Nigeria needs to form a confederation with Gabon, Congo, Cameroon and Eq. Guinea. If you work together you can economically and athletically compete with europe, america and china!
Seun, you failed to ask him what happened to the "adopt a talent/sports initiative " which was adopted by the previous minister. Leadership should be about continuity ?
Nigeria is comatose due to its pride and enormous iniquity of its citizens and leaders. Sleeping giant, wake up! Stop the empty discourse and repent. Take correction, be accountable, and remember pride goes before a fall. You have failed to care for your citizens and yet expect a medal? You can only reap what you sow, mate.
Seun, sincerely you seem not to understand how this sport structure actually works. I am not absorbing the minister to be innocent of any wrong doing. Sport round the world are presently just making the nation the fund provider. I am very certain and aware of the interferance rule. If the federation reports to the sport body that the government interfare, the country gets banned 🤷🏼♂️ Your work will be fruitless if you don't summon the head of those federations to give there own side of the story, if they feel there are some governmental fault in their failed outing. They are not free of faults too. The minister won't be the one to get to the field of sport himself.. Let's get more questions to be asked all round, no one to spared! Those federation are far more currupt... Example is NFF 🇳🇬 God Bless Nigeria 🇳🇬
I am African American, and I am so proud of Nigeria’s Women’s Basketball team D’Tigress. My favorite is Ezinne KALU- NO 23❗️. I am having a special T-shirt made honoring her. They beat two seasoned Canadian and Australian teams. They gave our US Team a run for their money so to speak. The talent is there. They should never give up. I was routing for both US and Nigerian woman’s basketball. Nigerian Female Basketball team, D’Tigress should be honored for their formittable effort against teams with years of experience. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 A USA 🇺🇸, African American Fan.
@@inmythoughts718 The benefit of dual citizenship. There is also an American on the Woman’s French Olympic Basket Ball team. Gabby Williams, originally played for Chicago Sky.
He don chop the money. What do you expect from Tinubu's government?? What do you expect from a minister appointed under the most heinous criminal??? The fact is that they are not even shameful anymore
Women's basketball team of Nigerian blood, but all players are born and raised in the USA and are US citizens, Nigeria can't have it both ways, they arresting people carrying the Russian flag and want to take credit for the Nigerian American team representing Nigeria.. Nigeria has the talent, they just have idiots managing the process and this minister should be more than ashamed of himself.
This man is not intelligent and he's a reflection of Nigerian stalemate. The money for sports goes through his office, yet he's harping his inability to have credibility at the game location. If you and your institution have done your job prior, what the other sports do at the location can't be different from what has been planned. Again, he just said Nigeria was allowed to compete in the cycling at the last minute. Hence no bicycle. What if Nigeria qualified early for the cycling, what bicycle would they have used 🤔 ??? He could not even mentioned the name of the bicycle, he speaks with the generality of a man from the street. What kind of bicycle can it be that Nigeria does not have a few in it's stock to use at the last minute 🤔??? Also, how did the cyclist prepare for the cycling event without said bicycle??? Nigeria and this man is a joke.
Why is Seun sounding like he doesn't know how sports are run with the international bodies shielding the federations from so-called, "Government Interference"? I like that he is making the minister uncomfortable (because he should not be comfortable given the abysmal failure) but it makes him sound ignorant.
If it were a sane country, he wouldn't bother coming for the interview. He would have resigned honorably. There's no excuse for this. You were given the amount you requested for the event, just give us results. 😢 Theres a huge deliverable problem in Nigeria. We already know about the problems with the Naira, 8 billion 0 medals? Biko let the minister resign.
Seun Okinbaloye, you are a fearless journalist. For this reason, I am considering a career in journalism.
Well done The Honourable minister we know who you are and what you can do.
More Grace
This man is full of excuses. You didn't expect this performance? You had more than one year to do this. You have just this one job and you didn't do it well. If we had won medals, he would have been here taking credit.
Channels have to invite the NOC and AFN chairperson to this show.
It all boils down to corruption. Another problem is that there is no punishment for both corruption and failure in our political leadership. Zero grassroot youth development leads to failure. They are there for looting not to make Nigeria great.
200 million citizens. Giant for nothing
I disagree, we are a great people bedeviled by a wicked set of an elite political class
Journalism at its finest👏👏👏
Seun is very factual and FEARLESS! Nice one bro.
This Munister did so well. I understand a lot now

This man just made a case for why his office should be scrapped 😮. All his ministry does is the funding from the federal government. He's a joke.
This is one minister I have watched saying it the way it should be very outspoken and not bubbling with words.
What do Ghana and Nigeria have in common - no medal in the 2024 Olympics but the presence of many daddy G Os who can perform unimaginable miracles.
Abeg leave GOs. Make them the their own ooo
I'm here laffin in CAPITAL LETTERS 😂😂😂😂😂
Ghana and Nigeria has huge indebtedness in corruption in all aspects of sports, which the minister deny having authority over, which he financed.

I so much love this interview
This man reminded me of *my oga at the top* werey plenty for this country it's overwhelming.
You don't know , you are not aware , you are not responsible , you are not accountable , but you are the Sport Minister !!!. This is insane
How will you call them shame, sheu when your country that was shining all of a sudden, became house of horror nd you want them to do better. Do you know that their failure began in spirit realm. The house is already sick so keep quiet.

When will Nigeria start , taking people from Delta to international swimming competition,
Ikale and ilaje people nko?
I don't understand this contraption called Nigeria again ah! All the thugs can be converted to boxers now😅
In any civil society, this Minister should have resigned from his office before he got kicked off and many others fired but Africans don't know when to quit the dancing floor.
I really thought Nigeria was going to overwhelm the world.
Tell me why Nigeria should clinch any medals?
I don’t understand why anyone should be expecting Nigeria to get any medals.

12 billion giving to you but you did not provide bicycle for a cyclist
Nigeria is like a human with an health issue that is getting deteriorating everyday . SMH
Nigeria needs to form a confederation with Gabon, Congo, Cameroon and Eq. Guinea. If you work together you can economically and athletically compete with europe, america and china!
Seun, you failed to ask him what happened to the "adopt a talent/sports initiative " which was adopted by the previous minister. Leadership should be about continuity ?
A leadership that cannot produce even a wooden medal😂😂😂
Corruption and nothing more
Nigeria is comatose due to its pride and enormous iniquity of its citizens and leaders. Sleeping giant, wake up!
Stop the empty discourse and repent.
Take correction, be accountable, and remember pride goes before a fall. You have failed to care for your citizens and yet expect a medal? You can only reap what you sow, mate.

This so called minister should resign with immediate effect.
HOW CAN NEPOTISM PRODUCE RESULTS??? WHEN THEY REFUSED TO ENTER OFFILI IN 100METERS?????THE IGBOS HATRED IS REALLY REALLY REA, WE ARE WATCHING,L
9 billion Naira plus goes down the drain. The corruption level is too high!
