• This post is pretty hard to write because our beloved Nigeria did not impress us. Due to poor planning, Team Nigeria couldn’t slay in traditional outfits. We are only here for the laughs sha, and we saved the worst for last.

    The Good:

    1. The South Korean Team looking nice and preppy in Beanpole’s design is seriously the cutest thing we’ve seen at the Olympics.

    These guys oozed cuteness.

    2. This guy from Tonga only had to wear baby oil.

    My oh my!

    3. All we see is awesomeness with this perfectly tailored Team USA ensemble.

    These Ralph Lauren boat shoes are the business!

    4. Team Canada went for flawless street style swag, designed by Dsquared.

    We half expected Drake and a flash mob to pop out.

    6. Team Djibouti killed it with a simple cultural look.

    Africans representing!

    7. And here is Team Great Britain serving a very British look in Stella McCartney and Adidas.

    Those sneakers are everything.

    8. Team Cuba looked like money in Louboutin/Sporty Henri designs.

    So very classy.

    Although they wore parkas over that awesomeness at the Opening Ceremony.

    Ahn ahn, why now?

    The Bad:

    1. Team Germany didn’t look so great wearing leggings under skirts.

    Leggings bawo?

    2. Team Italy could have done with more color, they looked really dull in Giorgio Armani’s all black designs.

    Abeg whose funeral is it?

    3. Looks like Nigerian tailors made Team Sweden’s ill-fitting skirts using ugly fabric.

    We are not understanding.

    4. Team China looked like a cold plate of tomato stew with the ugliest tie colors.

    Those ties are a no-no!

    5. We really like how cultural Team Indonesia looked, but the red and white blazer is giving us serious Ajinomoto vibes.

    ‘Maggi maggi!’

    The Ugly.

    We’re giving Team Nigeria the award for ‘The Ugly’ mainly because the outfits they were supposed to wear were beyond atrocious.

    Chineke!

    Thankfully, there was a delay in planning and the athletes had to wear available tracksuits instead.

    Praise the Lord!
  • 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.

    We all agree the Nigeria Olympic Committee could’ve planned better for Rio 2016.

    Apparently, the costumes arrived in Brazil late, just like our U-23 footballers arrived in Brazil only 6 hours to their first game!

    Someone leaked the actual costume pictures online and we are seriously thanking God for that ‘delay’.

    See how Nigerian Twitter took the outfit apart.

    The tailoring and color combination didn’t look great sef.

    Someone even compared the outfit to the Avatar’s costume.

    But maybe the track suit idea wasn’t so bad after all, some seemed to like it.

    And we are just as pained! Nigeria and disappointment are like two peas in a pod, and we are just tired!
