As the 2014 Glasgow Games enters day three, Nigerian athletes have been complaining bitterly about the unfriendly and unsportsman attitude of the National Sports Commission,NSC, towards their quest of winning laurels at the Games.
 
The athletes, some of whom have been in Scotland for over a week, complained that officials of the NSC are yet to pay their allowances, no provision of competition kits and tools, as officials of some Federations have to seek assistance from other countries for tools, a move they considered as a disgrace and embarassing.
 
An athlete, who spoke with our correspondent, explained that he had been making use of his  Automated Teller Mchine,ATM, Master card to withdraw money from his bank account, adding that the NSC had only paid the sum of ninety- thousand naira to them as training camp allowance which was paid in June while in Nigeria.
 
Reports have it that Ghanaian weightliters were in London, England, for a two month training tour in readiness for the Games and there is still a question mark over the money earmarked for unaccomlished training tour of Nigerian athletes for the Games.
 
Though, the Director General had met with the athletes at the Games village with the hope of paying their allowances and also to make available their training kits, yet the athletes were sad over the development as many of them concluded that it is their personal motivation that is driving them to fight hard to win laurels and not the unfulfilled promises and non-commitment of the NSC to their basic necessary materials.
