As the Commonwealth Games kicked off in Gold Coast, Team Nigeria’s Chef de Mission, Chief Mrs Kofo Nwokedi has warned athletes and officials not to be carried away by the abundance of food provided at the Games Village camping all the athletes.

Chief Mrs Nwokedi, who visited the massive restaurant, was wowed by the delicacies provided, that she said athletes should not be carried away by the delicacies.

‘’This is a temptation too much to resist’’, Nwokedi said after going round the hall to behold the continental dishes provided by the host. ‘’Some athletes will fall to the sweetness of the food. We need to let our athletes control themselves so as not to wobble and fumble in their events’’, she emphasised.

The main dining room seats up to 2,300 people at any time and handle about 20,000 meals that are served each day.

Most countries here came with their nutritionists who help to advice the athletes on what to eat and not to eat.

A Nigerian athlete confirmed that whoever follows the abundance and sweetness of the food would get burst before the end of the Games.

Not just that. The dream and aspirations of mounting the podium would equally burst.
