South Africa has taken unassailable lead in the ongoing All Africa Games here in Maputo, Mozambique.They have already garnaered 20 gold medals while Nigeria is in a distant position of 8th with just one gold, an indication of the deplorable state of sports in the country.

House Committee member of Sports in the Federal House of Representatives, Honourable Godfrey Gaya who is watching the games is already fuming over Nigeria’s performance so far.has expressed his displeasure over the performance.
Gaya frowned yesterday after he took a look at the medals table and discovered Team Nigeria perched on the 8th position with 1 gold, 3 silver and 4 bronze medals against South Africa’s 20 gold, 11 silver and 15 bronze medals.
“I’m not impressed with their performance but under the prevailing circumstance we find ourselves, there is nothing we can do.
It is too early, though, but we hope they rise up to the top”, the soft-spoken Gaya said moments after Sports Minister Alhaji Suleiman briefed the Press on the performance of Team Nigeria so far at the Games.
