It is obvious he is mentally imbalanced for him to want to represent Nigeria.

You are the one that need to have your head examined.

There are Nigerians who have worked hard to try and represent Nigeria...when he had the choice he choose Uk why should we suddenly accept him because UK rejected him

If there was a worthy cause to unite Nigerian youths, this would be it. But wait, Nigerian youths are busy either watching BBN or bashing Buhari on NL.

IAAF should not have the right to determine which country an athlete wants to represent. None of their business if you ask me.

Whoever wants to be poached should be poached.

When Nigerian athletes were being poached by the likes of UK and US it was OK abi?
u obviously don't know what u are saying....... east Africa are losing their athletes to middle East Nations and Europe.....the fastest man in Asia is a Nigerian...IAAF enacted those rules to protect African nations

I doubt this guy will win medals for Nigeria, if he had the potential of winning any medal, UK would have selected him.
The west don't joke with quality.

this is what our boxing coach said about Anthony Joshua. .....at the end we are now regretting it

Exactly the same thing you clowns told Anthony Joshua... In fact thats the exact words. When will we learn Now the same shameless fools who denied him the opportunity of representing Nigeria are the same 4kers faking familiarity. Watch history repeat itself

Exactly, when Anthony Joshua wanted to compete for Nigeria, Nigerian officials rejected him but now he's on top they want to claim and mention his Nigerian roots.

Nigerians only come around when the food is ready.

Ha ha, yeah right. The IAAF doesn't care sh1t about some hapless African nation. Whichever athlete wants to port his nationality be allowed to do so.

If their countries of origin will drag them back and not help them reach the pinnacle of their career, why should some sports organization?

Same reason why countries like Canada and Australia are poaching the brightest and best minds of Africa.

You can't stop people from pledging allegiance to whatever country they want.

Anthony Joshua was a nobody. He wasn't recruited by the country he was in and Nigeria rejected him until he proved his worth. Of course it was already too late for Nigeria to claim him because another country saw the gold mine in him and decided to mine it. If Nigeria rejects this one again, trust me.... Someone else will see the passion and few years later, part of his success story will be how Nigeria rejected him. Same statement that was part of Anthony Joshua's success story....

Thunder fire the IAAF, they should allow the young man compete for Nigeria
just because he compete for British 9years ago hence his disqualification.
That's totally unacceptable.

was Anthony Joshua mentally imbalanced when he asked to represent Nigeria but got rejected? No.... They are Patriots who want to help their father land in their own little way.

if he's not good enugh to represent UK, then we should examine him before accepting him as our athlete.
What is the essence of accepting him if he's not better than the local athletes? He shouldn't take the place of anyone if he has no prospect of winning medals. And i doubt UK would release him for us if he's that talented.
he is better than the local one,how did you think he get the sole spot to represent us?

I tire... This is how they always being shame to the country. They had a good sports man but someone somewhere wanted the spot for the son of a friend of a friend's brother's wife's sibling. God how I detest people of power in Nigeria.

@ INDUSRIALFAN and majamajic, both of you are corect.
Nobody knows tomorrow indeed.
However UK knows quality when they see one, this is why they quickly cornered Anthony josua before Nigeria got to know what he's capable of doing.
UK must have scrutinised this guy before letting him off their hook.
There is a reason they quickly selected AJ and there is a reason they ignored this guy.
Nigeria shouldn't settle for left over all the time.
