Athletes amd officials of Team Nigeria at the ongoing Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are reportedly at loggerheads over phones given to athletes from each participating country by Samsung.

Our correspondent gathered that the procedure for collecting the phone was that each athlete was meant to go to Samsung office in Tokyo, scan with the Olympics accreditation tag and collect the phone. Trouble started in the Team Nigeria camp on Wednesday when the Athletics Integrity Unit disqualified 10 Nigerian athletes from competing in the track and field events of the 2020 Olympics after failing to meet anti-doping requirements.

One word. Shame.

All the athletes should refuse to represent Nigeria if the official doesn't release the phones. Abi which kain country be this?

Why must everything about Nigeria be disgraceful. Why?

The ghetto!!!!!!!

Shameful and pathetic. SMH

Adojutini a lai lojuti

Eru adoju ti ni wo ni awon people yii, can u imagine the same set of people that was disqualified are now fighting for phone, am not surprised 🤨 na our way🙄🙄🙄

Please don’t blame them. Charity they say begins at home. Going to Tokyo is a breakthrough for some of the officials. Fighting over a phone of about $1000 tells you how the Nigerian system has been able to impoverished the mind of Nigerians with greed

Nigeria wall always show themselves wherever they go what a shame

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Who remember that video of a man saying his ashame of Nigerian athletes representing Nigeria. Is he wrong base of this incident? On till we start doing things the right way in Nigeria. We will also be see Shameful stuffs like this. Why changing the rules for Samsung.

Corruption and wickedness everywhere, the only thing left for Nigerian government and officials is eating his citizens, the height of wickedness in this country is second to none.

Shame. Shame. Shame

They even proof who they are everywhere. Poverty is a disease

Shame.... Do you Know the worth of $1000 in Naira. Since after 2015 this country has been worthless.. May God help us in Jesus Name I pray -Amen

Poverty, fighting over samsung merchandise 😆🤣😂😹

This country don cast

Samsung made mistake, they should have given them one by one. Make Dem queue problem will not arise.

The officials have taking their thievery and corrupt to Tokyo. That shows how rotten the country is. How much is a thousand dollars for a phone that they're washing their dirty linen in the public? Who are these vultures?

Shameful & wicked sport officials!! It was ur incompetence that resulted in the disqualification of these 10 athletes yet you are denying them the phones bcos they can no longer compete at the Olympics. The officials want to cover the phones. Don't people have conscience anymore?

They should all be repatriated back to Nigeria from the Olympic. Somebody should remind me the last time Nigeria won even a bronze medal. Fighting over Samsung phones. What a shame. IOC - Don't allow Nigeria near the next five Olympic games. Thanks ?

Nigeria & Nigerians have lost all the pride, self esteem & self respect we used to have. Now we have all become Hausa/Fulani almajiri on the international stage. The Nigerian behavior in Tokyo is a distillate of long association with Hausa/Fulani heritage of low cultural breeding

NIG

Shąme

The poverty follow them reach outside too😑. Nigerians nawa o
