Surely, hosting & winning the African Games is not for everyone😒

The Major Highlight of the Event: Nigeria made a clean sweep in the Relays - it's not every time that we get to see this.

Women's 4x100m 🥇 [Tobi Amusan Brilliance]
Men's 4x100m 🥇 [Team Nigeria revenge against Ghana after 20years. Ghana won the 4x100m in Abuja the last time. Nigeria had to recreate that feat against Ghana]
Mixed 4x400m 🥇 [The Last Anchor for Nigeria singlehandly turned Silver to Gold]

Watch the outstanding race

The Relays is an event Nigeria 🇳🇬 can be very dominant in.

Five medals on Day 4 of Athletics, not a bad return.

▪️ Ese Brume 🥇 (Long Jump)
▪️ Obiageri Amaechi 🥇 (Discus)
▪️ Chioma Onyekwere 🥈 (Discus)
▪️ Kemi Francis 🥈 (Heptathlon)
▪️ Prestina Ochonogor 🥉 (Long Jump)

You have got to respect Oluwakemi Francis. Her body was sore and fatigued after the Javelin (the sixth event).

She gave everything in the last event (800m), and although she was not strong enough to give her best in the race, she did just enough to make sure that she got herself on the podium again.

Francis won her second consecutive Silver medal in the Heptathlon event at the African Games

The moment Obiageri Amaechi realized she had become an African Games champion.

Amaechi had never won an individual title before, but when her time came at the Games in Accra, she made the best use of the opportunity, winning her first continental GOLD medal for Nigeria.

Amaechi threw a new Personal Best of 58.93m to secure the victory

GOLD & SILVER for Nigeria 🇳🇬 in the women's Discus Throw!!🥇🥈

Obiageri Amaechi 🇳🇬 produced a Personal Best (PB) of 58.93m on her final throw of the night, landing GOLD in the women's Discus Throw at the African Games!

She led a Nigerian 1-2 finish with Chioma Onyekwere 🇳🇬 who dug deep on her 5th attempt, finding a 58.03s to claim Silver.
National Champion Ashley Anumba managed 54.88m to finish 4th.

Celebrating Omolara Omotosho-Ogunmakinju and her husband, Adeleye Ogunmakinju.

Omolara's husband was once an athlete himself, and has been very supportive of his wife's Athletics career.

Adeleye travelled from Nigeria to join her in Ghana, after she had returned from the United states where she is currently schooling

We have been saying 'No Gree for Anybody' since this year, but the Nigerian 4x100m teams took it to another level competing in the men and women's races at the University of Ghana Stadium.

Nigeria's women's 4x100m team led the way against the Ghanaian team, only for the Nigerian men's team to put the final nail on their national teams.

This 'No gree for anybody' was personal... Naija came to Ghana to beat them on their turf!!

Who dey check am!!

SILVER for Esther Elo Joseph 🇳🇬!!🥈🥈

She ran the race of her life, going out hard and then holding on firmly to win Silver in the women's 400m final at the African Games in a new Personal Best (PB) of 51.61s!

She was only beaten by World 800m Champion Mary Moraa 🇰🇪 who clocked 50.57s for the win.

Before Chidi Okezie took to the track to compete in men's 400m final at the #AfricanGames2023, he got a call from the legendary Innocent Egbunike, who was the last Nigerian male quarter-miler to win an African Games title since 1987.

"It was the extra motivation I needed..." Chidi said about his conversation with Egbunike.

Proud Father - Moforehan Abinusawa's dad flew down from the US to cheer his daughter who was representing Nigeria for the first time.

She attributes her track successes to her father who tries to be at every meet where she is competing in; and it was surely a proud moment for him watching her life, running for the Green & White.

Although the Nigerian fans in the stands might be hugely outnumbered by their Ghanaian counterparts, but they make sure to make their voices to be heard.

When other Nigerian athletes finish competing, they drum up support for those in action. The Nigerian fans are such a vibe in the stands!

SILVER for Oyesade Olatoye in the women's Shot Put!🥈🥈

She added her second medal of the African Games, throwing 16.61m to finish 2nd in the women's Shot Put in Ghana. Sade had already taken Bronze in the women's Hammer Throw on Tuesday.
Ashley Erasmus 🇿🇦 won with a last round throw of 16.98m.

It is raining GOLD in Ghana for Nigeria!!

Patricia Mbata 🇳🇬 has won GOLD in the women's 75kg Boxing final, defeating Tunisia's Molka Ben Mabrouk 4-0!!
3 Boxing finals so far, 3 GOLD medals.

GOLD MEDAL IN JAVELIN!!

Chinecherem Prosper Nnamdi brought the sauce in men's Javelin, breaking his own National Record to win GOLD in this event. Nnamdi was so good on the day, that he passed up his last attempt when no other athlete was able to match 82m.

Chinecherem...Nigerian Javelin King!
