Athletes Representing Nigeria At Commonwealth Games, Birmingham 2022 (Full List) by fergie001: 9:31pm On Jul 28, 2022 |
The Commonwealth Games is an International multi-sport event involving athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations (Britain & her former colonies). The event was first held in 1930, and, with the exception of 1942 and 1946 (period of World War II), has taken place every four years since then. Athletes with a disability are included as full members of their national teams, making the Commonwealth Games the first fully inclusive international multi-sport event. Although, there are currently 54 members of the Commonwealth of Nations, 72 teams currently participate in the Commonwealth Games, as it is a feature of the Games that a number of dependent territories who do not compete separately at the Olympic Games, compete in the Commonwealth Games under their own flags. Nigeria has competed since 1950 and will have participated in 15 editions by the end of this year's tournament. Africa's most populated nation was absent in 1962, 1970 (in protest at New Zealand's sporting/rugby policies towards South Africa during apartheid), 1986 (Nigeria led 31 Countries to boycott over then UK PM, Margaret Thatcher's refusal to sanction South Africa's white-minority Government) and 1998 (due to suspension over the Ogoni 9 executions). Josiah Majekodunmi was Nigeria's first medalist, grabbing Silver at the Auckland 1950 Games in the High jump event. The Country's best showing was in Victoria 1994, finishing with 37 (11 Gold, 13 Silver, 13 Bronze) medals. The 2022 (XXII) Commonwealth Games is scheduled to hold at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, England from July 28 - August 08, 2022 with 5054 athletes from 72 Countries expected to participate. Team Nigeria is sending a strong contingent of 94 athletes set to participate in nine events:- Wrestling, Weightlifting, Table Tennis, Para-Table Tennis, Para-Powerlifting, Para-Athletics, Judo, Boxing, and Athletics.

Nigeria should pull out of the Commonwealth! That organization means absolutely nothing to Nigeria other than being a member of a club of former slaves! Nigeria should pull out quickly and stop joining all sorts of useless organizations just for the sake of it.. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Nigeria was absent in 1998 due to suspension over the Ogoni 9 executions). 2022 Looks like the Commonwealth is blind and can't see that her former colony is beclouded by worst happenings and needs immediate help? Or maybe she's needs a suspension. Things happening here ought to earn Nigeria express suspension from participating in any world events. |
