If the medal was given by the levels of selfishness and corruption of a given country, we will carry all the medals
If there is an International Competition for Stealing, Hacking of Websites and Other Scams,
Nigeria will Pack all the Medals. cheesy

But Indeed, the Useless Performances of this APC Govt has contributed to our general Decline in Sports. undecided sad

The Nigerian-born sprinter won silver for Bahrain in the 400m women’s event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

She crossed the finish line in 48.53 seconds, trailing Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic, who set a new Olympic record with a time of 48.17 seconds.

The 26-year-old formerly known as Ebelechukwu Agbapuonwu was born in Onitsha, Anambra.
Be wasting your time abusing yourselves, Igbo Hausa and Yoruba. All of you are very foolish fighting yourselves while others see the potentials you have. You better learn to live together and use each other's strength.

The Confederation Of Abokinistan and Agbadonistan have finally buried what was left of the Nigerian union,! I sympathize with those who are still genuinely hopeful that tinubu is actually capable or willing to rescue nigeria ,,,, i feel sorry fo y'all !

Nigerians like celebrating mediocrity. They will come out and say after all it is not the first time Nigeria is not winning any medal.

We know it is not the first time, but will it be the last

More reason why we should be an advocate of good governance. If Nigeria as been a home for everyone, this could have been avoidable and be a plus for Nigeria..

The corruption and inefficiency in sport is an offshoot of what obtains in government. So much is wrong. Sports is an avenue to keep the youths gainfully engaged, and far from social vices. But not so in Nigeria. If you notice, the Olympics is constantly expanding the number of games and events admitted and competed for. So many sporting activities to explore any type of talent available.
Everything is just centered on fraud and corruption.

Title says five Nigerian born athletes. They were born outside Nigeria, hence they can represent their countries of birth. Please stop spreading false narratives and misinformation like the government you propose to hate. It's absolutely pathetic. SMFH.
