Annette Echikunwoke was set to represent Nigeria at the 2020 Olympics but was disqualified along with nine other athletes after failing to undergo mandatory tests due to an error by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria.
She then changed her allegiance to the United States to compete at Paris 2024.
Why do think athletes change allegiance to other countries? I know of footballers, boxers, and tennis players who switched from Nigeria to other countries and got better opportunities.
Nigeria will not happen to us in Jesus name, na serious prayer be that
You don't even know your potentials or the great things you're capable of doing until you have access to the other countries, and that's sad!
Dyyggggg, the country limits us so much. You would think you're a never do well and that you don't have a skill, not knowing that it's because you're in the wrong country.💔

I read a poem last year that that still lives rent-free in my head. I don't remember who wrote it or the title, but the message was powerful. The poet asked a hard question: is it worth giving your life for a country that seems to be falling apart? This made me think of what happened in Nigeria during the End SARS protests in 2020. So many people died fighting for a better country, but sadly, nothing changed.
According to my source, more than 40 people lost their lives during this protest. I wish things were different. I just hope that those who died will not be forgotten and that their sacrifice will inspire others to keep working towards a better future.
Whenever I ask myself if Nigeria is worth fighting for, I try to remind myself that (major) change does not happen in days not even years.
The loss of lives and properties are the worst part of this change.
Nigeria will be great. It'll take time but it will happen.
All these protests are not useless.
Hmm.
You're absolutely right, good things don't come easily and major changes don't happen overnight. It takes time. Let's keep looking forward to a better tomorrow. A brighter future.

Yet another reason to remain indoors because what's the incentive to fight? End SARS, came and went and not only was nothing done, our government tried to gaslight us and the entire world into thinking it never happened.
RIP to our fallen heroes, indeed. Nigeria is not worth fighting for. The odds are always against us.
My problem with Nigeria is the lack of sense. So about 40 lives wasted and then you’re telling me that I should call of the protest for a dialogue and I agree? Am I not senseless?
#hivenaija
This country will never not cease to amaze me. Lives lost. People still hungry. But yet they're telling us to come and have dialogue. From where to where?
Please don't be distracted by her ranting, just remain focused and make it work. Don't forget to buy that necklace for her oo. It might be the key that will unlock everything.
The Protest has been called off because the President has asked for dialogue. However, three days (starting from yesterday) has been called for the Mourning of the subjects who died during the protests. Are you wearing your Black today?
He's calling for dialogue? What is he discussing again...
I didn't think the issues of this country transcends dialogue but okay.... let's see what happens.

Omoh this is sooo sad!!!!
This is so sad.
Why do think athletes change allegiance to other countries? I know of footballers, boxers, and tennis players who switched from Nigeria to other countries and got better opportunities.
I know of a lot of them that have left to pursue their dreams outside of here and it worked out for them.
This country is a killer of dreams fr.💔
Ohhh....I remember reading that poem in secondary school. It struck me so deep because of how true it was. A sabre toothed tiger indeed.
You know ball, Jhymi.

Police Dogs Stew 😋😋😋. Lol

In our place that people eat dog meat like it's chicken, let them be playing.😂
I wonder the thought process behind that decision. Are they saying they don't know that most Nigerians eat dog meat ahbi na war dogs dem release?😂
My own question is....what was their aim? Did they want the dogs to bite the citizens or what? I'm so confused.
What else would their aim be? A government that can open fire at unarmed citizens.
and gaslight us in the middle that it never happened.
Crazy fr.
Dog pepper soup must be circulating in that environment yesterday.
We have empty skulls as leaders, walai.
It's just so sad that I've never eaten it before but I heard it tastes really nice. If people in my side just had a hold of one ehn...😂
