True to his promise, the owner of FROT Group, Frank Momoh will today in Lagos host some members of Team Nigeria to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.“Specifically, Momoh, a sports philanthropist, will use the occasion to redeem his financial pledges to two Nigerian table tennis stars, Aruna Quadri and Segun Toriola for their achievement at the Rio Olympics.“

Following the harsh economic realities in the land, an outspoken Lagos based Christain preacher, Pastor Tunde Bakere of Later Rain Assembly has appealed to all Nigerians to exercise patience with President Muhammadu Buhari led administration, saying the hard times would be over soon.

Host country, as it is the practice, took care of the accommodation and feeding of all athletes and accredited officials at the Rio Olympic Games that will end tomorrow in Brazil. Brazil also took care of the transportation of all the athletes from the Games Village to different venues and back. Organisers flew all teams that their venues were outside Rio, like the soccer teams.
