I hope and pray that this and all future governments invest in our youths as they put us squarely on the world stage. Kudos to the athletes, their parents, guardians and coaches and thanks to the Almighty for his bountiful blessings.
None of us are perfect but just help our youths that's all I'm asking. Remember we are getting older and they are our future let it be so. A chance to prove themselves are all they are asking.
