At very difficult times where Team Nigeria struggled, Ogba and his Athletics Team had brought relief, respect and excellence to the country.At the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi and the All Africa Games in Maputo, Ogba and Athletics walked with their noses in front.And out here in London for the 2012 Olympics, Ogba has promised that his team would do their best.''I'm not promising anything extraordinary. All I want to see here is for our athletes to get to the semi-final stages of their different events. From there, anything can happen'', Ogba said modestly at the Nigerian House which has become a bee-hive of activities for Nigerians and non Nigerians who come to savour the delicacies of the country and wine and dine with Nigerian Nollywood stars.''The athletes are ready and I am moved by their commitment. My brother, we are looking at semi final spots for them and from there, anything can happen'', Ogba reiterated.
