Nigerians are outraged over recent comments by the Minister of Youth and Sports, Barrister Solomon Dalung that athletes don’t need much training to win medals at competitions once they have the winning mentality.
The minister who spoke on Brila FM radio early in the week to commend the efforts of Team Nigeria athletes who are winning medals at the on-going Rio Paralympics, said that the able bodied athletes who failed in Rio had the same shabby preparation with the special athletes but the difference was “the winning mentality the disabled athletes have.”
However, readers on Vanguard online have descended heavily on the minister, some calling him unprintable names while others wondered why President Muhammadu Buhari is still keeping him.
One reader by name Babrutus said sarcasticallly, “ Why should anyone train in these days of internet technology? To win, all they need is to get on Facebook or YouTube and watch videos of the sport as well as study the technique of their rivals. I tire for Nigerian athletes sef.”

Tunji Olarewaju wrote “My President, sir, you need to sack, fire, shoot (which I’ll prefer ) this drunkard from your cabinet, not ASAP, but like yesterday. This thing (Dalung) is the only mistake of your administration so far.”
