Asked why he chose Nigeria over the USA....

Udodi: Look at my name, I am Nigerian.


He is coached by his father... Chief Onwuzurike

This young man has the energy of Justin Gatling and the determine spirit of Francis Obikwelu.


I hope the Athletes Federation of Nigeria won't make him regret switching allegiance soon.


Congratulations Bro.

Are you aware about how much has been invested into sport in last 5 years?

Do you know how coaches are paid, how kits and gears are sourced, or cost of logistics involved?

Y'all just always trying hard to fault His Excellence President Mohammadu Buhari GCFR.
