Christine Ohuruogu won Olympic 400m gold for Britain with a stunning surge down the home straight in Beijing. The 24-year-old crossed the line in 49.62 seconds to eclipse Jamaica's Shericka Williams and American title favourite Sanya Richards. |

Get over with. . . . . Nigeria don't cater for these athletes the way they should be taken care of. U woulda done the same so ignore henceforth. Francis Obikwelu is now Portugese. . . . . |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by Queenisha: 7:25pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
It was another incredible twist to her comeback story after she was banned for 12 months in 2006 for missing three random drug tests. She returned to win the world title in Osaka last summer but still had to launch an appeal against the British Olympic Association's automatic lifetime ban for anyone found guilty of a doping offence. Having threatened to switch allegiance to Nigeria if the ban was upheld, Ohuruogu was successful in her appeal and cleared to run for Team GB in Beijing. After a disappointing first four days of Olympic competition for Britain, athletics chiefs will be mighty grateful that she won her case. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/olympics/2585053/Olympics-Christine-Ohuruogus-400m-gold-gives-Britain-its-greatest-Games-since-1908.html |

Hannibal: There was another folayemi somebody that ran for Netherlands. Thank God he came last just like that coconut headed obikwelu they should be ashamed of themselves. |

Queenisha: However, like the last post mentioned, these guys should not be blamed. The Christine of a girl would not have smelt bronze if she was in the Olympics representing Nigeria. Early, intensive and sustained preparation count in any tournament (ask China) but sadly Nigerian officials are yet to learn that. |

Yal act like this is something new. Why shouldn't she have gone where she would be recognized and paid for the hardwork she has done. I mean yal act like this is something new. look at France, Italy, Great Britain, United States, Canada, and so on and so forth. These people know that Nigerian talent is an asset to their team so they go and offer them a deal way better than Nigeria will ever even be sincere enough to think of. |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by Hannibal: 7:43pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
Queenisha: Ashamed?? I dont think so. . . . . They were let down by their own government so what do u expect?? These men and women need allowance and intensive training to keep up with their counterparts all over the world. Nuthing like that exists in Nigeria. . . .Haven't u heard of Nigerian government deserting Nigerian players in foreign lands when they fail to WIN? |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by KarmaMod(f): 7:44pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
with a face like the Rice Krispies soldiers, I'm glad she's claiming Britain instead |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by A40(m): 7:45pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
Who cares na she go first change nationality? Obikwelu,Alozie,Idowu Phillips and the like we dont treat our sportsmen and women well so dont blame them for all we know she might have been born there.I am so sad my baby momma Sanya Richards didnt win though |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by Uche2nna(m): 7:48pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
KarmaMod: Who cares about her face (at least in this contest) . She is contesting in the Olympics and not some beauty pageant. |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by manmustwac(m): 7:49pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
@post wetin dey do u sef? she was born and brought up in england but is of nigerian parentage. She is a British Nigerian she has every right to run for Britain. Where u get your information from. |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by onyinye2(f): 7:50pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
manmustwac:No need for name calling. Jeez cool your jets. |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by KarmaMod(f): 7:52pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
I do Uche. I dont want that face representing Nigeria. If you have a problem with that, you can always cry in the corner manmustwac: Was that really necessary? I perosnally cant stand the whole "British with Nigerian parentage" nonsense. It's so stupid. |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by Uche2nna(m): 7:56pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
KarmaMod: Yeah, not in a beauty pageant. But in the Olympics , hell yes. As far ,as she gat the legs. Na face I go chop @ Manmustwac U can make ur point without the insults |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by Queenisha: 7:57pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
manmustwac: at least you had the commonsense to modify your post I was just about to go all Okija on your behind |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by manmustwac(m): 8:02pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
@post sorry about the insults. no mind me |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by Vieira(m): 8:19pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
1. A person born and raised in a country will always have some connection to that country. 2. A person who wants to excel in a sport will want to train with the best facilities and coaches around. She has chosen the path that will lead her to gold, kudos to her. When as a nation we are take athletes and other sports seriously and reward accordingly, you will see more athletes deciding to stick with nigeria and win gold for us. |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by Hannibal: 8:28pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
Vieira: PRICELESS!!!! |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by nazzyon(m): 8:42pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
@ Vieira True talk. Even athletes from other countries would love to be the citizen of such country. e.g USA, Portugal, Jamaica and others. If the Ministry of Sports can improve then sports will not improve but will be more attractive to the Nigerian citizens. OR Only few will race or play for a country like Nigeria when they know that after they are injured the country will forget about them and which might lead to the end of their career. AND Not everyone will be happy to accept the miserable $3000 per player which NFA gives to footballers after a competition; when they have the opportunity of crossing over to another country that is ready to pay them multiples of such amount per match. |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by folahann(m): 8:56pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
Rubbish, if she were to be playing for Nigeria, she would never have stood a chance of winning anything at all, the government should be blamed for this mess |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by DeepZone: 9:46pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
Who cares about her face (at least in this contest) . She is contesting in the Olympics and not some beauty pageant. I wonder. falilat Ogunkoya has a more dreadful face and i didn't see anybody complaining. Female athletes rarely look yummy anyway. |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by manmustwac(m): 10:12pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
folahann:CORRECT! Nigeria no dey encourage anybody. She fi no make the olympics if she had trained and grew up in nigeria due to lack of facilities and GOVT where no dey encourage person |

Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by Olaolufred(m): 9:10am On Aug 20, 2008 |
Ohuruogu and others would have love to represent Nigeria. But, There are too many buts. Corruption: There are little or no sport administrators in the affair of sports. what we have are politicians who are compesated by their party for either good campaining or marshalling how riging was well articulated. A politician in NIgeria knows only one thing, EMBEZZLEMENT. They said they needed 800million Naira for Beijing olympic Let me give a view of politician spendings if the money is disbursed: Minister of Sport --------------------200 million Permanent Sec. and Principal officer in the Ministry--------------------------------200 million National Olympic Committee ------------------------------------ ---------------------400million Out of the 400million got by NOC NOC Chairman --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 100 million Remaining Committee Members-------------------------------------------------------200 million Only the Remaining 100million will be available for the Athletes and their Coaches/trainers. How do you expect result? Nobody wants to be "jackey dey work, monkey dey shop" again. I am not glad seeing our girls winning Gold for others, But it isn't their fault. It is the corruption of our politician. |

Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by EloSela(f): 11:28am On Aug 20, 2008 |
Born in the UK, fully educated from primary school to university level in the UK, trained in the UK with a UK coach and they should represent Nigeria. . . When will Nigeria learn that they can not and should not expect to benefit from another country's hard work? Just because Christine's parents happened to run away from Nigeria years ago and settle in another country it doesn't give Nigeria any automatic claim on their children. After all if the Nigeria hadn't been in such a despicable state they probably wouldn't have left in the first place! abi? |
Re: We've Been Robbed Of Our Olympic Gold Medal by MrCrackles(m): 11:33am On Aug 20, 2008 |
Una never halla for Nigeria! make una go snatch the Gold naw, at least that we can do well in Nigeria plus corruption and 419! Dat is what Nigeria gets for being a stupid and dysfunctional country! Ezinne Opkaraebo ran for Norway in the 100metres, although she didnt win a medal but she was better than the Nigeria girls, why?!!!!!! |
