Annette Nneka Echikunwoke Wins Silver For USA After Nigeria Frustrated Her by Built2last: 9:27pm On Aug 06 |
The FIRST American woman to medal in Olympic hammer throw! 🥈 Annette Nneka Echikunwoke has made history. She came to represent Nigeria in Tokyo 2020, but her dream was ruined by the body in charge of athletes. She and 12 other athletes were affected. Nigeria was not able to pay for their drug tests so they were not allowed to participate. She switched allegiance to the USA, and today she is an Olympic silver medalist. She didn’t allow Nigeria to kill her dream. Congratulations NNEKA Annette Echikunwoke, Africa’s Hammer Record Holder, Gives US Olympic Glory After Nigeria Failed Her https://fij.ng/article/annette-echikunwoke-africas-hammer-record-holder-gives-us-olympic-glory-after-nigeria-failed-her/ 81 Likes 11 Shares

I pity those that still believe Nigeria will just change suddenly one day. For any change to come into play, there must be agents of change just like we have in agents of pollination. You can't have a country infested with too many lawless and mad people in significant number of up to 90% now and you expect sudden change. You must be delusional. Every sector is now compromised.

Ok Congratulations to her It seems the sports ministry needs a transparent leader. I wonder why a Nigerian can't make it to 100m finals. They should start early to hunt for sports talents 18 Likes 4 Shares |

Nigeria happened to her. Most athletes you see representing the nation at the Olympics prepared themselves with little or no support at all from the country. 124 Likes 11 Shares |

I felt really bad when the commentator mentioned she initially wanted to represent Nigeria. But because of paperwork mix up, she competed for the US. And to imagine she was in the gold medal position until the Canadian woman and the current world champion wrestled it from her in the last minute. I really don't understand this "paperwork mixup" I always hear about Nigeria athletes abroad. Don't know if it is a subtle way of describing corruption in our athletics 21 Likes |
