She wouldn't have been so well prepared if she was racing under the Nigerian colours

OUR Gold medal?

If she were a Nigerian, she would have dropped out in the heats. . .

For all intents and purposes she is BRITISH with Nigerian roots (I don't know if she has taken up her Nigerian citizenship)

Next thing you'll be saying if Obama doesnt become the US president that Kenya was robbed. . .

Bollocks!

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. . . Huh

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? Huh

If she had been arrested for fraud or some other kind of crime , be rest assured that the news would refer to her as a Nigerian. British born Nigerian Angry

Well said Uche,
Amir Khan is a Brit now because hez doing well in boxing, had it been he joined Osama they will address him as a Pakistani.

But before we fight for her nationality, ask yourself if she calls herself a Nigerian. Maybe she has not been to Naija before talkless of speaking Igbo.
