According to the Guardian Nigeria, this is what an official of the country’s athletics body has told them regarding the Favour Ofili situation:
“Nobody in the AFN is saying that Ofili should change her nationality to another country, but if she is desperate to go, no one can stop her.
“What I want Nigerians to know is that Ofili’s unruly behaviour is fast spreading to some other athletes, and if care is not taken, the AFN might lose control of the athletes, and that will be catastrophic for Nigeria.
“As I said, we have other capable athletes who can fill the space if Ofili decides to go. It is better to have a team with disciplined athletes than to parade a squad laced with undisciplined athletes.”
The comment has led many to believe the athlete was deliberately not registered for the 100 m at the Paris Olympics.
