Abeg since our male athletes no dey do well like our female athletes, can the ladies represent the guys so that all our representatives in international athletic competitions will be females? moreover I think our guys should start wearing pants to run, maybe they'll do well

faithalabi: how it got the name, were it came from In fact they no nothing about it, all they know of is Ankara. With this article you will understand what Ankara means. Does the fabric represent African culture? Is Africa the first continent that comes to mind when you look an Ankara? Do Africans generally identify with the prints?.
I can confidently answer "YES" to these question and as such proving the authenticity on the print. Also I see no reason why we can't recognize the influence that the Dutch had on Ankara. After all they've played their part but it"s in the hands of Africans to use the fabric to promote own culture. visit http://www.ladieswinds.com/ to know more.

It's too early in the week to be drunk!

that's good but they can and should do better, the females are repping us well, so the guys should step up their race too.

For more photos of Brume & Amadi, see here >>> http://makingofchampions.net/2014/08/13/brume-adds-african-long-jump-title-to-commonwealth-crown-amadi-takes-silver/

It was another 1-2 for Nigeria in the women’s long jump event as Ese Brume added the African crown to her list of titles with a jump of 6.50m, which was just 6cm shy of her golden jump at the Commowealth Games in Glasgow, while team mate and Nigeria’s No.2, Chinazom Amadi made a leap of 6.40m to finish in second position at the ongoing African Senior Athletics Championships in Marrakech. Earlier in the day, Nigeria recorded a top two finish in the women’s discus throw when Chinwe Okoro and Nwanneka Okwelogu dominated the event.

This latest addition is the fifth title the Delta State athlete has to her name at the moment, including the National Sports Festival crown (which brought her to limelight two years ago), the national title (which she won at the Nigerian Trials in June), African Juniors title (which she won in Mauritius last year), Commonwealth GOLD (in Glasgow earlier this month) and now the African GOLD Medallist! She is also the African junior record holder in the event!

Chinazom Amadi also demonstrated extreme composure in pulling out a Season’s Best jump of 6.40m after initially going out to 6.17m, which would have seen her run out of the medals! She is a seasoned African Championships performer, having won Silver in Ethiopia in 2008 and Bronze in 2006 in Mauritius with jumps of 6.31m and 6.23m respectively! Her PB of 6.60m was set at the National Trials in Calabar in 2012.

Brume has demonstrated by this performance that her GOLD at the Commonwealth Games was no fluke, having emerged as the surprise winner in a field that comprised of more experienced jumpers including England’s Shara Proctor and a host of others. She has been consistent this season, save for the IAAF World Junior Championships where she finished at the bottom of her group in the qualifying round just a week before the Commonwealth Games. It is still difficult to pinpoint what went wrong in Oregon, although it was alleged that she arrived for the competition a day before her event, and was still exhausted by her sojourn.

Ese Brume has truly come of age – the jumping sensation has put that disappointment behind her, and has more than made up for the loss by commanding outstanding performances in subsequent events. The stage is now set for both Brume and Amadi to rub shoulders with some of the world’s best ahead of the IAAF Continental Cup slated to also hold in Marrakech next month!
