Sins of Solomon Ogba's lap dog, Enefiok Udo-Obong‏

Enefiok Udo-Obong

I used to think that one of the few
I can respect in the Ogba fold is Enefiok Udo-Obong because he is one of the
very "rare breed" in that fold that finished school. Most of them are
drop-outs. 

They claim to be coaches, ask, where were they so trained? They
never finished school and pose as graduates of American universities. I can
name them as I have done before.

Association with base minds must have affected the quality of reasoning of
Udo-Obong who descended so low both in reasoning, character and thought. Sad.
Sickening and condemnable.



I reproduce
Udo-Obong's facebook comment: 



"I will be very glad to come to your school
and talk to your kids... I wrote a very inspring (sic) book about what it takes
to succeed and I have been giving it to kids but many athletes do not want to
read. 

In London, the
book was wanted like hot suya..I did not even have enough copies for sale..they
all wanted to learn from me and my experience. We must focus on developing the
youth and teaching them what it means to represent Nigeria. Nowadays all the
athletes think about is money money and more money. Also we have many half-baked
US based athletes that in heart are not Nigerians competing for us. They are
pampered and do not bother how we feel. Some do not even know where they come
from or do not know what it means to struggle and succeed. This needs to stop.
We need young athletes that are talented, determined and above all hungry for
success. I will present a paper later this year on the way forward as we will
hold a technical retreat for coaches, administrators and stake holders."





Udo-Obong needs to apologise to these wonderful citizens who he referred to as
"half-baked". I feel disgusted at such uncharitable, indecent,
uncultured, uncivilised and foolish glib choice of words. 

Can someone help me ask the same Udo-Obong if he did as much as the same
persons he referred to as "half-baked"?

Some of these half-baked Nigerians won the Nigerian championships. 

So, they are
superior to him comparatively. Did Udo-Obong ever won a national or African
championship?

In Sydney 2000 when he sneaked into the squad that delivered the 4x400m silver
that matured to gold in London, he finished 5th in the national championship.
Would he say the same leg he ran could not have been ran well by any other
member of the team?

Since then what has he done to add value to the sport? 

Which kids has he cloned
to do better what he did? Is his book the provider of the next meal to the
athletes? Since his boss, Ogba, employed drug couriers and drop-outs, what does
he expect in the national team? So, these chaps in school who by structure are
better than those minding them needs to be pampered. 

In a nation where you are forced to run for Delta State before you can run for
Nigeria, where monies given to programmes by the government is counted as
personal loan to the athlete to prepare for Olympics (ask Adejoke Odumosu), why
should the athletes not work for money, money and more money?

That sums it up for now.
