Ohhh sorry white man, you can't evade a responsibility you bring upon yourself. The burden of proof lies with the claimant. You claim they're Northerners, so you should prove it.

fergie001:
The Commonwealth Games is an International multi-sport event involving athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations (Britain & her former colonies). The event was first held in 1930, and, with the exception of 1942 and 1946 (period of World War II), has taken place every four years since then.

Athletes with a disability are included as full members of their national teams, making the Commonwealth Games the first fully inclusive international multi-sport event.

Although, there are currently 54 members of the Commonwealth of Nations, 72 teams currently participate in the Commonwealth Games, as it is a feature of the Games that a number of dependent territories who do not compete separately at the Olympic Games, compete in the Commonwealth Games under their own flags.

Nigeria has competed since 1950 and will have participated in 15 editions by the end of this year's tournament. Africa's most populated nation was absent in 1962, 1970 (in protest at New Zealand's sporting/rugby policies towards South Africa during apartheid), 1986 (Nigeria led 31 Countries to boycott over then UK PM, Margaret Thatcher's refusal to sanction South Africa's white-minority Government) and 1998 (due to suspension over the Ogoni 9 executions).

Josiah Majekodunmi was Nigeria's first medalist, grabbing Silver at the Auckland 1950 Games in the High jump event. The Country's best showing was in Victoria 1994, finishing with 37 (11 Gold, 13 Silver, 13 Bronze) medals.

The 2022 (XXII) Commonwealth Games is scheduled to hold at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, England from July 28 - August 08, 2022 with 5054 athletes from 72 Countries expected to participate.

Nobody is crying. Have you ever see the north complaining the way CAN does? Even this sport representation, hardly will you see or hear any northern group complaining. No. The north doesn't do that.

I am only trying to tell you that tolerance in all ramifications belongs to the north.
You have been crying ever since the list was published. You even called it nepotism and promised to change the narrative with your majority power.
