Welcome To The Jungle: African Athletics Championship Becomes Global Fiasco by Explorerx(m): 4:11pm On Aug 05, 2018
Sport was supposed be the one thing Africans
were good at. Running away from lions and tigers
in the jungle really builds up the muscles and
weeds out the unfit. What a shame, then, that the
African Athletics Championship, currently underway
in Nigeria, instead of showcasing Africa’s sporting
prowess to the world, turned into an embarrassing
fiasco that appeared to confirm traditional racist
stereotypes about the unfortunate denizens of the
Dark Continent.
Arriving teams were first stranded at Lagos airport
because the Nigerian organisers had apparently
failed to make provision for interconnecting flights
to Asaka where the games were being held.
Athletes had to sleep on the floor all night.

African champion talking about their
experiences in Nigeria..Athletes being
stranded at the airport for 3 nights is
UNACCEPTABLE. Nigeria such a
disappointment. They knew they were
hosting Africa Athletics Championships..

Africa
61 160 people are talking about this
When the games finally got underway, things
didn’t improve much. The wrong anthems were
played and flags were flown upside down.
The water tower collapsed and the stadium
resembled a dump for toxic waste.
When you see the quality of the Africans who were
organising it, the mystery of how it could have
been such a disaster is instantly resolved; only to
be replaced by another one: how could such
obvious incompetents have got the job in the first
place? Probably they were members of the right
tribe or something.
The white guy here tries to keep a straight face
then gently suggests to the Africans that they let
white people help them organise it next time.

No, white boy.... We will not call on you next time.

We will learn from our mistakes, just like you learnt from yours.
