Hope it's not another case of age cheating. I don't know how our athletes always win these junior championship but whenever they reach senior level, they become nonsense athletes and quickly fade away |

jconsulting:They Practice RELIGION and not culture Unlike other Major And smaller Tribes, they don’t have culture rather they have RELIGION. Their Culture is embedded in their RELIGION. Unlike other people where pastors stay away from traditional rites, only to receive the same people in church in Sunday for special thanksgiving ISLAM is rigid, most don’t take rubbish CHRISTIANITY is malleable and pliable, swallows so much rubbish, with so much freedom. That’s the reason 2 Likes |

Congrats bae, please Igbos should understand that we are under one Sovereignty , this is Nigeria. How long shall we continue with the Igbo amaka, Igbo kwenu thing? How long shall we keep lying to ourselves? She went there because she is Nigerian, nothing to do with ethnicity. Please grow up and find a better response to such things rather than making tribal remarks..

jconsulting: You won't see because, the northern women are busy doing us proud in so many other fields. It is easy for Igbo women to do this country proud in sports because they naturally have their body built like that of men..and the implication is, at competitions, women from other countries will be competing with men from Nigeria |
