A white woman Zimbabwean sound odd...

Even though Zimbabwe has some white population.. Perhaps less or about 1% of total population, why is it always a white person that has to become champion in global swimming competition...

Are u guys saying the 99% black population in Zimbabwe can't get someone to win a swimming competition even after this white woman?
whites are better swimmers based on their body composition. Same way blacks from west africa dominate 100 meters You cant fight nature

Her victory is a testament to the fact the politics in all sport association is deeper than what the naked eyes can smell.

Ordinarily, one would have expected Coe to win by a land slide.

Amaju Pinick, sorry once again.

Oga, this is not true o
Is there a research to back this up?
Body composition as how, have you replicated all the swimming training opportunity in Europe in Africa and fail to see Africans become champion ? Don't subscribe to erroneous narrative

It's actually the big question for all Africans and I don't understand
Cos this woman was born in Zimbabwe, and schooled there and started learning swimming there... Before going abroad to improve her learning... Why can't black of same nation also emerge with same story is my question?
For Nigeria we know nothing can work here cos it's all leadership and infrastructural problems.

Glad she beat Sebastian Coe. Dislike that guy over how he handled the Caster Semenya case - he's hateful.

Jesu!!! Juan Antonio Samaranch still contesting for IOC president?? After being president from 1980-2001? Or, are my eyes turning me??

That was his father.
His father was once the IOC president and now the son wants to be President too.
He was actually one of the leading contender for the post. I was surprised he didn't clinch it, he still placed second though.

I think being white helped Coventry seriously.

Natasha will soon locate her and cry cry

Akpabio is the cry cry baby who got himself harassed into Oshiomhole’s Association of Past Crooks, APC where sins are forgiven as long as he stays loyal to the Baba sọpe Ọgas at the top.

Stop the confusion please.

OEPHIUS:
It is no longer news that Nigeria’s Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio is set to decamp to the APC; what started has a rumour after his notable absence from the PDP NEC meeting has gathered so much momentum as the former Governor yesterday paid a visit to President Buhari in London.

The defection which seems very likely as Senator Akpabio has failed to release a statement against the rumors, comes as a shock to even the most assuming political analysts and journalists especially at a time when the main opposition party, the PDP has put its house in order and is set to welcome even more decampees from the disintegrating APC.

THE FACTS.

A closer look at the Akwa Ibom politician reveals a weak grasp in his home state of Akwa Ibom where he has been continuously hounded and blackmailed by President Buhari led APC istration over several allegations of corruption.

In 2015, The EFCC ran investigations on Akpabio which led to his subsequent arrest over a misappropriation of N101.8 billion state funds which plunged Akwa Ibom state into debt. The former Governor was not charged to court and resumed his duties in the floor of the senate.

In another report, the former Governor was probed again for gifting an unnamed commercial bank the sum of N1.4billion. Another case that was recorded but not taken to court.

The APC led Federal Government hounding of Senator Akpabio was so severe that the Akwa Ibom Government House was invaded by DSS agents in a plot to steal state secrets in an attempt to acquire more evidence against former Governor Akpabio.

In 2016, Senator Akpabio was arrested for a 3rd time by the EFCC when the Anti-graft commission alleged the illegal withdrawal of N18bn to the acquisition of a multi billion naira mansion at Plot 5, Okogosi Spring Close, off Katsina-Ala Crescent, Maitama-Abuja, a multi-billion naira mansionette at Plot 28 Colorado Close, Maitama, Abuja and another multi-billion naira mansion at 22 Probyn Road, Ikoyi, Lagos. For the 3rd time Senator Akpabio was released and no legal charges were filed.

ING THE APC

Since 2015, the once vibrant politician lost his voice and failed woefully to provide proper leadership as minority leader in the senate due to the subsequent media backlash against his person and the corruption allegations being thrown around his name.

While other Senators like Bukola Saraki faced all allegations and politically motivated persecution head on, Akpabio may have opted to quietly plead and “settle” with his blackmailers at the expense of the senate, his party, his political career and now ultimately, the people of Akwa Ibom State.

The Anti Corruption War

A move largely perceived as desperate, Akpabio’s defection to APC puts the final coffin to President Buhari’s anti corruption war. It further confirms the long assumed ideology that the APC is a party of protected corruption, where the and high rollers of corruption in Nigeria are immune from persecution. Senator Akpabio’s rich history of corruption and corrupt allegations is set to be magically swept under the rug.

The same Government that hounded Akpabio, arrested him several times and invaded his former office with DSS agents to get evidence against him have thrown their arms wide open to receive him in their fold. Whether Akpabio was threatened to the APC or not, it will go down in history that he was a subdued man.

Buhari’s infamous integrity has failed the litmus test with Akpabio. The Nigerian President who prides himself as incorruptible has thrown caution to the wind and made Senator Akpabio, one of the most corrupt persons in Nigeria according to President Buhari’s EFCC to be the Apple of the APC’s eye.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Senator Godswill Akpabio’s corruption allegations have long been in the wind perhaps as hard evidence which has been used recently to blackmail the former Governor. Perhaps enough evidence to get a conviction at the court which would see Akpabio off to prison. However; with the new turn of events, Akpabio who has been alleged to have his eyes on the prized seat of Senate President, may begin to enjoy the peace of mind that comes as he is no longer a perceived threat to the President Buhari istration, perhaps at the expense of his own political goodwill.
