A fresh breath, thanks Sis, many more glorious feat
A street should be named after her in her state of origin and Abuja….wow!
Grace news, Record breaker. Congratulations Tobi, I knew you would make us proud.
I hope they’ll also term Duplantis world record as wind aided? These guys are crooks and girl should be very careful henceforth so she doesn’t get plotted for drug this one they might have intentionally allowed her second reward elude her. Whichever way she’s now a legend and nothing can change it not NCAA not IAAF.
This is good news at this time. There is hope, Nigeria will be great again. Congratulations Tobi. More wins
