Favour Ofili Nigeria's 100 & 200m sprinter ( and Nigeria's new 200m record holder and first African woman to run sub 22 seconds) is being sabotaged by her US coaches.
At the recent NCAA champs I wondered how she failed to even win her semi final and then I realised her coaches were behind her decline in performance as they made her run first leg of 4x400m semis on the same day knowing her team had little chance of qualifying for the final.

Only yesterday it was revealed on twitter that Ofili has informed the Athletics Federation of Nigeria that she would not be participating in Nigeria's trials for the World and Commonwealth championships due to "personal reasons".

Which means she may not get selected if 3 athletes at the trials achieve the qualifying performance standards.

It made me reflect on how Nigerian athletes like Devine Oduduru never performed well for Nigeria despite amazing performance in NCAA sprints, wonder what his coaches might have did to him to degrade is performance seemingly permanently.

Can't she switch them?

She is only 19 is probably very trusting.

Are these US coaches white, black or what race?

The head sprint coach making the decisions for her university, LSU, is white, I believe his name is Shavers

Oh ok cool, thanks

The thing is that Favour Ofili failure to return for the trials also denied Nigeria the talent to run a qualifying time for the 4x100m relay where we would have stood a good chance to reach the final if not medal at the World Championships.
I suspect that there is a conspiracy to prevent Nigeria winning a 4x100m medal the timing of charging Blessing Okagbare with additional offences hence invalidating Nigeria's previous qualifying time is just too much coincidence.
