VERONICA AYO?
Is SHE not a NIGERIAN?
Anyway shout out to all the WOMEN.
They have been doing us PROUD in the COMMONWEALTH GAMES more than the MEN.
LMFAO!!!
CS, you are late in your report.
Adekuoroye has already won the Gold medal. She beat the Indian Malik to win Gold, the 6th Gold already won by Team Nigeria. I expect Oborodudu to win another Gold in her finals.
Congrats to them and to team Nigeria.
Exactly!
You are so right. CSN were slow in their reporting.
