Nigeria sha

Team Nigeria 🇳🇬 had a great outing in Ghana, finishing 2nd in the overall standings👏👏.

Side-note:
Egypt 🇪🇬 1991
South Africa 🇿🇦 1999
Nigeria 🇳🇬 2003

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

My highlight from the Event is Nigeria winning Gold in 4x100m relay men, 4x100m relay women and 4x400m relay mixed

Damn. This is totally rubbish. Someone should have a mind of her own.

I want to use this Medium to also appreciate our beautiful men and ladies representing Nigeria in Ghana. This should be what Nigeria is known for, not the above
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.

Congratulations Naija Team Tennis!

Bronze in the women's doubles and Silver in the women's team is not a bad outing at all.

Women's 4x100m 🥇
Women's 200m 🥈
Women's 100m 🥉

Nigeria's Olayinka Olajide is leaving Accra with the complete set, winning the three different colours of medals on offer.

She has had a very good outing at the African Games.

You can be sure that with Sade Olatoye and Chioma Onyekwere, Nigeria will always finish on the podium in the Throws at major international competitions.

There are many other good throwers in the female category (Obiageri Amaechi and Ashley Anumba) also doing great things for country. This is one area Nigeria can be very dominant in as well.
