Closing Ceremony of London 2012

Sunday 12th August 2012, the London 2012 Olympic Games ended after weeks of running, cycling, jumping, swimming etc. It was a spectacular event with Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt breaking records and creating new ones. Michael Phelp became the most decorated Olympian ever and Bolt became the first atlhetes to defend his title in succession. Unfortunately, Nigeria did not win even copper to show for the billion of Naira the government voted for the summer game. All the medal hopefuls, Okagbare, Chukwumerije failed to deliver. It was a shame. So called Giant of Africa could not win anything. So unfortunate. Will come to that later but now enjoy the beautiful pictures of the closing ceremony. it was a night of music and fashion and antic cars. But it was beautiful.

Children join in singing Imagine that

Spice Girls doing a medley of their hit tunes. Beautiful costumes with the antic cars. Never knew they still had it in them after marriage and children. It goes to show that once an artist, always an artist.

Some of the volunteers who were appreciated for their roles in the succesful hosting

Russell Brand entertaining. I thought he is a comedian but he sang. Katy Perry you better watch out. Just joking!

International Olympic Committee (IOC) President, Jacques Rogge. He was happy that London delivered tha Athletes' games promised. He further said the Olympic anti doping program is a system that works. He closes the happy and glorious games.

The Briton who did her Country proud by winning Gold on the last day.

lovely

Beautiful

Usain Bolt celebrating the new World record in the relay race.

The Medal table showing the 5 big names in sporting events in the world now. The United States of America is a super power in every ramification. Maybe one day a country of more than 100 million people would win gold medals to justify why its called the giant of Africa. Omawumi sang 'bottom belle' and she says if you are called Chairman, you should do something to show you are chairman. So Nigeria if you are truly the Giant of Africa then 'do something o to show you are Giant of Africa'.
