Usain Bolt is now a sporting legend. Though self-acclaimed, but a legend all the same. So far, no one has refuted his claim therefore I believe it's meritable.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/mobile/olympics/19204226 The question now is: Does Nigeria have any legend(s)? I know Farouk is one, but a bad one at that. Oya, let's know Nigerians who are legends or you believe are legends. |

Gemma11: Daley "Ayodele" Thompson. One of the greatest Decathlete of all time...but he competed for Britain.He chose Britain over Nigeria and is now a British property. He has done nothing for Nigeria but everything for Britain. I'm open for educating if I'm wrong. |

Ayodele is still a Nigerian regardless of which country he represented. |

For real? Sounds highly improbable. Before a sportsman represents a country not his own, he nationalizes to a citizen of that country. And automatically loses the ability to represent his own nation or any other except that one. |
