If Nigeria is a shithole.... and you are still in the shithole... what are you? ....telling the world you are shit and don't even know.
@ topic.....the ladies were the topic of discussion on the popular and widely broadcast Steve Harvey Morning Radio Show about two weeks ago. They were so supportive of them not so much as representing Nigeria but as representing Blacks period.... a historic achievement for Blacks period. They ...Akatas...were encouraging all to follow them... ..but we??
I hope they can also be the first to medal...I wish them ehmmmm.....Godspeed.

Why won't they make the US team? If you know anything about them, you'd know they didn't start this sport professionally as kids. Out of dedication in preparation for this games, they went to Canada for camp for snow. Besides, they went through qualifiers to get to this level.

Don't take anything from their hustle, if they rep USA wahala, if they rep 9ja still wahala say dem do dey good enough. Wetin una want sef?
America only pick the best not substandard, My friend tried severally to join Nigeria Army as a recruit but the shithole deny him the opportunity, along the line his uncle sponsored him to America just two years in America they enlisted them into US Army, the shithole is a career killer, diz girls should never think home if they really want to go far in their already shithole career

Your posts all reek of ignorance let me give you a full run down, you shouldn't have any questions or doubts after this and if you do, google is your friend.

The bobsled team consists of 3 (Adigun 31, Onwumere 25, Omeoga 26) athletes who've represented Nigeria (and won medals) at Olympics or All Africa games, the 'skeleton' event lady Simi 36, failed at qualifiers to rep Nigeria for 2008 olympics. This is not their first time representing Nigeria but their first in this sport. Adigun their captain read that Nigeria -Africa in general- has never been to the winter olympics, decided to give it a try and reached out to others (they had never tried this sport before, infact Simi rode her first sled in September 2017!!!).
Qualifier method is:
1) Be the official no1 in your country.
2) Complete official 5 races on differet courses(not as easy as it sounds).
3) Come out in the qualifying places. (these races obviously are against the best from other countries).

Bottomline: they were all born in US, they've competed in Nigeria's name in athletics in the past, they entered this sport for the sake of Nigeria and Africa at large (Adigun has 2 Masters and a PhD, the two others in her team had white collar jobs at the time she reached out to them) cut them some slack please, encourage them!!!

Later now u go dey hear say no money for accommodation or transport. Nija self I tire for this country.
They have not been supported by Nigeria from day one. Infact, it was a GoFundMe that was used to get them their bobsled. I think then sponsorship by Visa saw them through...

How I wish Nigerians in authority had a way of finding out the identity of those people hidden by internet, crying shithole and if they are forigners or Nigerians in Nigeria, deporting the former and revoking the citizenship of the latter. They' d never be allowed to step foot back in Nigeria even if thire relatives were dying or died. The only exception being if at the airport they agreed to smear shit on thire faces, hop on one leg, repeating, 'I love shit, I love shit,' grin

I pity America for if they are the ones as well as Nigerians living over there who continue to pore scorn on Nigeria, something calamitous will happen to them. Nature does not forget arrogance of the magnitude they show. Nature does not like routine.
