She is not the first and only Nigerian, the Nigerian football team also won a gold
Am not surprised..
I have always known you are a nitwitted f00l..
SHE was the first to WIN a GOLD MEDAL..
SHE won it before the DREAM TEAM in 96..
And FOOTBALL is NOT an INDIVIDUAL sporting EVENT..
It is a TEAM EVENT..
SO..
SHE WAS THE FIRST..
AND STILL THE ONLY NIGERIAN,
To win GOLD IN THE Olympics..
IN AN INDIVIDUAL EVENT.. angry

Ignorance at its peaks.

The United states have about 613 athletes in this Olympics

The uk have about 376

Japan about 552 athletes...Nigeria about 19.

Your ignorance is first class.

All the players in the basketball team play in the United states where the coach lives, if it was by merit then players in Nigeria would have been considered.

Nigeria has 52 athletes

Comprehension is your problem

Are bendel and edo the same thing.

You talk about edo sport festival and now you are shouting bendel.

Edo and delta state made up the list of winners in the Edo sport festival.

Why are these so called winners in the 2020 Olympics team?
Olympics is not all comers affair. There is a standard that an athlete must meet before he/she qualifies to be in Olympic train. If the standard is 10.00 secs for 100m dash and you have never clocked below it all season. Even if u re the best in your country with time of 10.50s. You re going nowhere. There were a lot of qualification tourneys in Africa. For boxing, judo, wrestling, swimming etc. Nigeria went with their best from the classics, but how many qualified from Africa. My bro its not about sending a whole lot of individuals. Imagine Nigeria did not qualify for 4x100 relay men.
If na population, India for send 300,000 participants.
