As if Nigerian athletes haven’t gone through enough problems already, they were once again let down at the Rio 2016 Opening Ceremony due to poor planning by the Nigerian Olympic Committee.
The Opening Ceremony is the official start of every Olympic Games, and Vanderlei de Lima, a former Brazilian athlete opened it this time around.
Athletes from different countries filed out in a colorful parade, dressed very beautifully, especially this flag bearer from Tonga.
How Nigerians waited for our athletes to appear in killer outfits, because we slay at this Aso Ebi game.
But imagine our shock when Team Nigeria came out in track suits, not looking super-excited to be at the Olympics. But can we blame them?
The athletes had to wear track suits because the traditional attire was not available.
