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

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!!

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!
