Nigeria's outing could not have gotten any more weird, after a mix-up with the country's national anthem.
Various issues such as the Zika virus, Russia's doping scandal and the poor level of preparedness of the Nigerian team have foreshadowed this prestigious event.
Despite all these, Nigeria will be looking at winning as much gold medals as possible.
