How I was disqualified from Olympics on my 25th birthday -Athlete who dumped America for Nigeria - Punch Newspapers

25-year-old Echikunwoke – an African record holder in the women’s hammer event – expressed her disappointment in a post on Facebook.

“I can’t even begin to explain how heartbroken I am. It honestly feels like a fever dream. To think of all the hours of throwing sessions, hundreds of hard lifts, all the moments when my body aches in pain and reminding myself ‘it’ll be worth it’, just to keep pushing on, sacrificing time with loved ones… and all I’m left with is this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. This has been the most mentally and emotionally exhausting time of my life.

Them no tell you Nigeria is not for you? You see them don dump you. You are a ... Woman. Someone should play Asari dokubo for her

Dumped US for Nigeria 😄😄😄. Village people later get you 😄😄😄

Dump America like how?

Nigeria will never work for anyone until everyone own their real identity

In as much as we want to blame the officials, didn't these athletes know of the tests? I mean, these athletes should know the rules and raise alarm when it was almost time.

You’re representing dead country... wait for Biafra or oduduwa republic to whine like a star

No matter where you are, Nigeria will happen to you. Next Olympics, she’d be 28.

Worst mistake to dump America for Nigeria, who will speak for you in Nigeria? you don't know in Nigeria they will first ask which TRIBE or ZONE you are from 😄😄😄😄😄😄 Tribalism. Welcome to North / South Divide Country were religion decide leaders.

All of una no Dey hear word na why, u see better country u say No
