When I say Tobi Amusan is the greatest Nigerian athlete in history, it's because I look at it from the prism of how difficult it is, consistently being a top 3 Hurdler in the world.
America will always produce great hurdlers. It's like a traditional event for them.
In the last decade, we have had Kendra Harrison, Tia Jones, Nia Alli, Grace Stark, and Masai Russell; all from the US.
Guess the outsider who had always been in the mix against these top hurdlers? Tobi Express.
Tobi has raced different eras of American hurdlers, and is still top 2 in the world.
That longevity and talent sets her apart.
To have a Nigerian consistently beaming the spotlight on us, is truly remarkable.
Honestly, Tobi needs an Athletics statue in Nigeria... I am serious!

This young man has taken advantage of that provision, which gives individuals, businesses, estates, factories, and communities the ability to generate up to 1 megawatt (1MW) of electricity without obtaining a license from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
As a stakeholder in the sector, this could be another opportunity for the government to reduce its over-dependency on the national grid.
Kudos to this young man, he has surely gotten the grip on his house network, with a proper metering and monitoring system for his neighbours.
