FURTHER PROOFS OF THE FRAUD IN NIGERIAN ATHLETICS

Solomon Ogba,the god in Nigerian athletics

The moment a man starts to play God in any circumstance, rights will be abolished. Morality will become an alien. Superior evidence of doing things right will be measured as insubordination.

Can someone call the mini-God of Nigerian athletics, the evangelist whose conducts are not evangelising to some order before he finally destroys the heritage we have voted him to care for on our behalf?

I was so shocked to find out that two young athletes in what is variantly called "waka" in the local sports parlance but globally known as the 20kilometre Walk Race are going to be made into still birth because of selfish interest.

Joy Davis, female, broke the national record in the event at the national athletics championships in Calabar with a new time of 1:46.35.83sec while Adeyemi  Kazeem equally conspired to also break the national record in the male event with a new time of 1:35.15.76.

How were they not invited on the All African Games list? Instead, we are parading cheats all over the place. Recall I exposed the heavy ungodly conduct of the Solomon Ogba-led AFN in the team that went to the African junior meant for 20 year olds. We took a squad whose average age was 25 years there.

We repeated the same fraud in the just concluded world youth championships. Good that we returned blanks. I was so happy they did not win even recognition lest a medal. I can reveal that we lied and cheated again. Six members of that team were way up qualified cheats.

One just finished the compulsory NYSC. It is true that nobody can finish from any higher institution before clocking 20. You can’t be lesser than five years to enter primary school. You’ll spend six years there. So you can be about eleven to enter secondary school;

You’ll need to spend another six years there. So you can be about 17 years to leave  secondary school. Add four years in the university, you must be 21 years to leave the university. Add one year national service, you must be 22 years. This is given the candidate has a smooth path all through.

By the end of youth service, you can be 23 years. To have finished service and be presented at an U-20 event is a big fraud. By her records in the NYSC when she registered for the NYSC programme, she is 27 years old. She was made to run among 20 year olds yet they could not deliver.

Who will stop this monster that is ravaging the health of Nigerian athletics beyond repairs? Nigeria is sure a laughing stock of serious nations. Where is our national honour? Do we have shame at all? Have we lost conscience? Does God not tell his evangelist that he is a cheat and that He is a God of the just and fair?
