Nigeria’s Dream Team VI failed to respond as a wrong anthem was played as they filed out for the preliminary pleasantries against Japan, in their opening Group B fixture of the Olympic Games.
The tune played supposedly as Nigeria’s anthem was definitely not that of the most populous black nation, as the players looked with awe, wondering ‘if that was actually for them.’
Barely minutes into the game, an announcer apologized for the mix-up in Nigeria’s anthem. This will continue to be a major talking point as Nigeria’s preparation before the games has been shrouded in controversy.
Meanwhile, the organizing committee has not come out to explain or tender apology over the mix up.
