They should conduct doping test on them to avoid the case of Mmesoma repeating itself.

Nice one, I hope their handlers guide them well and see to it that they get athletic scholarships to Universities in the US, for better growth as they would waste away if they remain in Nigeria after their secondary school education.

When an U15 is running 12secs, it's just a matter of time they start chasing Shelly Ann Frazer's records.


All of these reminds me of fedicol games. I hope these young stars are followed up. If not, these will all be for nothing.

Congrats to the girls. Igbo Amaka!

That is why your country may never move forward. You want a country you can proudly called yours, yet you want every good thing to be remove from her? Instead of you to encourage sport commission to nurture these young talents to become great athletes that will make your country proud, you are here advising their handlers to export them to USA.

The same stupid mentality that made your leaders think their homes doesn't deserve to be good but western countries.

Congrats young woman.

Igbo amaka!!!

Make we celebrate you make e no be like say we are envious of the pigs

Zupay:


Is not your country?

If Tobi Amusan was not "exported" to the US after her secondary school education in Ijebu Ode through athletic scholarship at University of Texas where Blessing Okagbare got athletic scholarship and blossomed to win medals for Nigeria, would Tobi have achieved world class status today?

How many state sports commissions in Nigeria mired with corruption, nepotism and mismanagement can nurture and sustain world class athletes.......if Nigeria is still importing petrol in 2023, your stupid mentality will continue to select what to rant about.

I repeat, those kids should aim at getting US scholarships to excel in the sport and get quality American education.

They need celebrating,despite my suspicions of the timing.
There was a time Nigeria used to consistently produce top sprinters,both male and female,on a consistent basis.
We used to dominate the sprint events,from 100m to 400m in Africa then enter at worst the finals in major championships.
But now,even Kenya,better known for long distance running has a top class 100m sprinter while in events like 200,400 and now even 100m, Nigeria does not even have athletes at all.
The guys are now either into yahoo or football while the girls are now into runs or don't find any incentive to go into athletics.
If these 2 girls are nurtured and given incentives,no matter whatever time they may have run here,they can be the future of the sprints in Nigeria.They have the build to go with the sprint events.
One way of producing top athletes from Nigeria used to be through American schooling scholarships where they then get trained while schooling in college abroad and thus participating in athletics events in the US.
Our former stars like Mary onyali,Chidi imoh etc,are not also doing well.They should be organising things like athletics academies,talent hunts in schools etc,to find girls and boys that would continue carrying the touches they boldly lit during their careers.

Thank you sir, I love the concluding part of your post, this is the same patriotism I was talking about.

yemmit90:


I understand your point clearly even before you say it, that was why I said "instead of you to encourage Sport commission". You can't have a good country if you had already concluded in your mind that things will never get better. Your voice might be little, but goes a long way to make a difference because we are on social media. Development or change start from you and I, if you don't embrace patriotism and preach to others, how do you expect things to change. I would rather prefer our sports in general to take a gradual development rout than Tobi or Okagbare to win few medias at international stage. Unlike white, our individualistic approach to life is one of the key causes of our underdevelopment.

You can't continue to blame those in position of authority, while you believe not in the system. The reason our leaders continue their business as usual is because we have all agreed the system cannot be better.
