Whenever you hear the phrase “Nigeria happened to him”,it’s never a nice word.
Watching the ongoing #Paris2024 Olympics, you’d understand that unfortunate scenario where an Okeke Ifeanyi is adorned with a UK 🇬🇧 kits or Adeleke Rashidat is representing USA 🇺🇸 and so on…
Unfortunately, most of them had to switch allegiance after Nigeria failed them.
Annette Nneka Echikunwoke is a Nigerian American. She & nine others were ready to represent Nigeria at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Guess what? Their names were conspicuously omitted due to negligence by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria & the NOC.

They failed to conduct the mandatory tests.
The NOC omitted Favour Ofili’s name in the Women’s 100m at this Paris Olympics.
Nigeria is country that killed many dreams.
Favour Ofili cried after she finished her 200m race. She did not receive the required emotional support from Nigeria.
She felt truly heartbroken & there was no media officer to give her any type of closure. 😭
Her Kenyan colleague posted the video of Favour in tears, & you could tell she’s been there. Favour Ofili should switch as well.
When Nigerian athletes believe that they did not receive adequate support & kindness from their country, Nneka is the result.
Congratulations to Annette. She missed out entirely in 2020, & switched allegiance to USA
