They funded themselves and a few Americans donated to them on a go fund me campaign they carried out,,Nigeria didn't invest a dime on the girls.

That's patriotism and they deserve honor whether they win or lose in order to encourage other patriots.

They are based in America. They have American passport. Their love for Nigeria is making them participate in Nigerian colours.

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!!!
I encourage them, but the shithole did not deserve the glory... money dey work baboon dey chop

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?
I tire 4 some pple and most times i just ignore their comments cos it's annoying. Here are young ladies who decided 2 put their country's name on d global map, they askd 4 nothing yet we slander them. even if they retrn with no medal, they shd be commended and encouraged.

You guys should just stop thinking bad of your country, it is one of the things affecting us. Moreover this guys are sponsoring themselves not the government, Nigeria don't partake in the winter Olympics.

I never insulted you, bro. I was catching fun. Which I believe that's what we were doing, a friendly banter. Am I mistaken?

Moreover, how can you be so wicked to be chooking that lady with your beards? grin tongue
