From zero to hero- the Niger hero at the London Olympics 2012

From zero to hero

In a story reminiscent of the Jamaican bobsleigh team and Eric "the eel" Moussambani, comes Djibo Issaka.

The 35-year-old from Niger was given a rapturous reception normally reserved for gold medallists after struggling to the finish line in the men's single sculls at Eton Dorney.

Why? Because he has only been rowing for three months.

Niger received a wild card to the Olympics, allocated to ensure all 204 National Olympic Committees can take part even if no athletes have qualified.

Djibo Issaka thinks his performance could mark the start of a new era for rowing in Niger.

"There are many people who want to start rowing because I have come to the Olympic Games," he said.

"We will start when I get back. We just have to wait for the boats to arrive."

ALL THE THOUGHTS AND PLANS YOU HAVE FOR ME
BUT I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN YOU
KNOWING THAT YOU DIED TO SET ME FREE

PARENTING 101

by Oracles Vincent Libosso Chronicles on Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 8:09am ·

PARENTING IS MORE ABOUT UNFOLDING OUR KIDS AND LESS MOULDING THEM.UNFOLDING THEM IN THE SENSE OF WHAT GOD WANTS TO DO IN THEM AND NOT US WANTING THEM TO BE THE QUARTER-BACK WE MISSED.TRAIN UP THE CHILD IN THE WAY THAT HE SHOULD GO AND NOT THE WAY I WANT HIM TO GO-WE ARE ADMONISHED IN THE WORD.

WISE IS  THE DAD OR MOM THAT WILL CRY OUT,LORD HELP ME TO FLOW  WITH YOUR PLANS AND DESTINY OVER MY CHILD,AND NOT ME RAISING HIM OR HER IN A WAY  THAT I WISH OR FEEL HE OR SHE SHOULD GO.

HE HAD NO MEDICAL BACKGROUND,YET THEY CALLED HIM HEALER-THE GREATEST PHYSICIAN EVER,
HE WON NO MILITARY BATTLES,YET HE CONQURED THE WORTLD,
HE COMMITTED NO CRIME,YET THEY CRUCIFIED HIM,
HE WAS BURIED IN A TOMB,YET HE LIVES TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO,ANYONE IN MIND THROUGHOUT HISTORY WHO CAN BEAT THAT C.V?
