Nigerian weightlifters are rewarded with cold, hard cash for the effort made in African qualifying tournament (which ultimately ends up in Beijing 2008) in South Africa.

The National Sports Commission (NSC) gave $2500 (about N292,500) each gold medallists while those that won silver earned $2000 about N234,000 and $1500 (N175,500) paid to all bronze winners.

I wonder how much will they get for a Beijing Olympic gold?
