SPORTS MINISTER BLAMES JONATHAN FOR NIGERIANS RIO OLYMPIC SHAME

The minister of sports, Solomon Dalung has heaped the blame of Nigerians dismal performance at the doorstep of former president GoodLuck Jonathan.
Dalung attributed the lean purse of the ministry which he said contributed in large to the country's shameful outings at the Rio Olympic to the wastefulness of the Jonathan led administration.
The minister allege that about N3bn which was meant for High performance center was mismanaged by the former administration.
Reading through this piece of news, it drew my attention to a popular quote in my local Assembly which goes thus " excuses are nothing but monument of nothingness, and tools of the incompetent, those who use them are not wise"
How come some of us do not understand what it means to accept responsibility? when you undertake to do a job, you either do the job or you get out.
How is Jonathan the reason for the shame that the sports minister and his team put Nigerians through all through the period of the Rio Olympic, generating negative press like that is all that is to their names.
From the ugly incident in the US, where the football team could not pay their hotel bills, nor flight to Brazil, to sports ministry inability to pay match allowances and then to providing the athletes with the correct kits that did not get to them until a day to the end of the tournament.
When would Nigeria leaders learn to shut up when they fail to do their job and take responsibility, instead of embarking on a blame game, all in the name of saving face that do not need saving.
Can someone please tell the man in red beret that he failed not because of Jonathan, but because he does not know his work, and of course should not worry about his job security as the one who would have shown him the exit door would not do so for reasons we all know. it's just a shame that we have continued to allow people without any knowledge of sports administration to run our sports for sentiment reasons at the detriment of our overall interest.
I pray that the Jonathan fever caught by the APC  led government will soon give way to creative ways of solving our problems, instead of throwing blames at someone who left office fifteen months ago.
