Team Nigeria’s Shameful Outing: Sunday Dare Shut Up And Resign, By Sylvanus Ofekun | Sahara Reporters OlympicGames
President Muhammadu Buhari's Youth and Sports Minister, Mr.Sunday Akin Dare must be a really SAD man now. For all the wrong reasons, the digital savvy minister has been in the public space back to back with more national embarrassments uploading.
Before the departure of the women’s basketball team DTigress to Tokyo, the former Team Manager Mactabene Amacheree had called out the sports Ministry for failing to pay them their entitlements for winning the women’s Afrobasket in 2017. It started like a rant but Ms Amacheree insisted that since the Minister had claimed that money owed basketball has been paid to the federation, how come players were still being owed bonuses and entitlements since 2017.
The responsibility of testing athletes lies with the Ministry of Youth and Sports which in turn should fund the National Anti-Doping Agency NADA. The Minister continued as the all knowing , English speaking administrator and overruled the warning from the Ibrahim Gusau Board. His recklessness towards the Atheletics Federation of Nigeria AFN cost Nigeria 10 young medal prospects. The national embarrassment will remain indelible in the history of the Olympic Games.
Ruth Usoro jumped 6.82m in the long jump, the 2nd best jump in the world for the season at the time and the 3rd best on the Nigerian all-time list. She’s the African Record Holder Triple Jump Then the athletes carried placards in the Games village to protest the injustice being meted to them. Not only was the ministry responsible for their ouster from the games but also provoked them to protest.
