I have no business celebrating the kenyan win at
#Asaba2018. We need to call out Nigeria for who they really are. The most corrupt people in Africa. As Africans we need to tell each other the truth. We cant the West to do that for us. NIGERIA have embarrassed us on these games.Show this thread -
This is UGO the mascot of
#Asaba2018. The mascot doesn't even know its name. In the mean time he's on the field now dancing in scorching heat, he'd be baked by end of the day. Poor thing. pic.twitter.com/OhEfvQcFDb

Commentators predicted the duel to be btw Nigeria & S. Africa in 4x400 men's relay, only for Kishoiyan to switch on the turbo for team Kenya. The commentator didn't mention the gap in meters like the women's relay when Nigeria were leading!

See how Nigeria is humiliating herself before the World. Heads MUST roll for this national embarrassment.

You know, there are Nigerians who without professional experience organise weddings with over 1000 guests. From hotels to venue to food etc... So i dont understand how the professional Nigerian Sports body couldnt organise
#Asaba2018 properly... No planning? -
This
#Asaba2018 hashtag is so damn upsetting!!! -

I thought Kenya was broken, Nigeria
is on another level. The water tank at the stadium hosting the senior athletics championships in Asaba collapsed today and the stadium is still under construction. Photos credit Elias Makori #Asaba2018 pic.twitter.com/QsWBUYXW5l

What happened at
#Asaba2018 is a reminder that we need both passionate and educated sports administrators managing sports in the country. Also, there’s a need to empower the private organizations that are organizing sporting events as well. -
Don’t allow Nigeria host anything. They can barely host their citizens. Ban them from participatingas well. Let them get their shit together. Clean house.
#Asaba2018 is not even embarrassing, it’s very very good. Nigeria’s Nyash is smelling, what made them think they cld show it?Show this thread -
Elijah Manang'oi and Timothy Cheruiyot power to a 1-2 finish in the men's 1,500m as Edward Zakayo wins the men's 5,000m. Julius Yego bags Javelin gold at the African Senior Athletics Championships. Well done Team Kenya for a spirited performance.

#Asaba2018 was so unnecessary. I regret to say this, but the truth is we have no business hosting any international event at the moment. We are especially lacking in the organisational capacity needed to do this right. Terrible experience for the visiting athletes. -
#Asaba2018 is special. Girls born last week in Togo and Cameroon raced in the women's 200m heats this morning pic.twitter.com/IWZ8xPecWc

At African Athletics Championships Akani Simbine

3rd. #trackandfield#Asaba2018@JustSportsTweet@lsabre_Avenger@TnFjunkiepic.twitter.com/teJ28x6Ven -
It's not just that athletes were delayed for 3 days at airports. It's start lists being wrong, results being unavailable/delayed/incorrect, flags being hoisted upside down, the RSA national anthem is wrong, no official websites are updated, etc.
#Asaba2018 complete disgrace:( -
#Asaba2018 Nigeria, with your poor planning made our athletes sleep on the floor of Lagos Airport. The same athletes will make your athletes sleep on the tracks and field! Shame on you!! pic.twitter.com/Fc9yDYg4CI
