The moment Obiageri Amaechi realized she had become an African Games champion.

Amaechi had never won an individual title before, but when her time came at the Games in Accra, she made the best use of the opportunity, winning her first continental GOLD medal for Nigeria.

Amaechi threw a new Personal Best of 58.93m to secure the victory

You have got to respect Oluwakemi Francis. Her body was sore and fatigued after the Javelin (the sixth event).

She gave everything in the last event (800m), and although she was not strong enough to give her best in the race, she did just enough to make sure that she got herself on the podium again.

Francis won her second consecutive Silver medal in the Heptathlon event at the African Games

Five medals on Day 4 of Athletics, not a bad return.

▪️ Ese Brume 🥇 (Long Jump)
▪️ Obiageri Amaechi 🥇 (Discus)
▪️ Chioma Onyekwere 🥈 (Discus)

Surely, hosting & winning the African Games is not for everyone😒

The Major Highlight of the Event: Nigeria made a clean sweep in the Relays - it's not every time that we get to see this.

Fair enough. We have to work on our insecurities

SaLongs1:
Tourists will hardly come where they will be kidnapped for ransom or killed.

I wonder while we don't look up to Tourism in Nigeria.

I think we should do better.

BREAKING: The military rulers of Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso are withdrawing their countries from ECOWAS with immediate effect, a t statement says.

The military regimes in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have announced their immediate withdrawal from the Economic Community of West African States.

The leaders of the three Sahel nations on Sunday issued a statement saying it was a “sovereign decision” to leave the ECOWAS “without delay”.

Struggling with jihadist violence and poverty, the regimes have had tense ties with ECOWAS since coups took place in Niger last July, Burkina Faso in 2022 and Mali in 2020.

All three were suspended from ECOWAS, with Niger and Mali facing heavy sanctions.

They have hardened their positions in recent months and ed forces in an “Alliance of Sahel States”.

A French military withdrawal from the Sahel — the region along the Sahara desert across Africa — has heightened concerns over the conflicts spreading southward to the Gulf of Guinea states Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Ivory Coast.

The prime minister appointed by Niger’s military regime on Thursday blasted ECOWAS for “bad faith” after the bloc largely shunned a planned meeting in Niamey.

Niger had hoped for an opportunity to talk through differences with fellow states of ECOWAS, which has cold-shouldered Niamey, imposing heavy economic and financial sanctions following the military coup that overthrew elected president Mohamed Bazoum.

Exactly

Whether you talk or not, only a fool will visit a place where the risk of a kidnap is very high.
Tourists can tolerate many things except insecurity.

It would have created a massive employment
