Congrats yakubu
Thats a hero right there.
God has a way He deals with humans sha. What able bodied guys could not achieve
Thank God. What great news. The first lot just went to enjoy and brought back zero medals. See what determination and focus can achieve. Well done my man. As for the house of rep guy that went to watch porn movies while attending the Olympics in his hotel room, shame on you. No wonder we waste tax payers money. I can see why they need to increase electricity tariff, new license plate , etc. citizens , stand up for your rights and get rid of these useless and rogues house of rep members and others.
The man looks like he is in his mid-forties....anyway, Congrats on the record and for flying the green, white, green. God bless!!

Congrats. I hope this is the start of more good news.
Congrats Yakuba nice 1, thanks 4 making 9ja proud.
OmG wow
Congrats to a true Hero,hope the govt compensates him very well in order to encourage others to excel in sporting events. And the govt should forget about investing on losers that have complete hands and feet. More money shd be invested on paralympic athletes where we are sure of medals. Once again we salute you for making us proud.
Mumu osi .....even if he's 100yrs he did us proud. There is hope for our nation o even as govt has crippled us we can still overcome.
*smiling*, greatness is a thing of the mind.

Nigeria is a crippled country not surprised well represented.thanks YAKUBU
I dont want someone to call me Ibo tribalist again;
but this is where all these northern beggers should be going to, working and winning medals.
Oh well ,maybe not their fault, but what are their leaders thinking.
God Bless you Yakubu.
He's. A Legend sef, I just realized he's Legs are Bad... When d ones with leg and body sef dint Win....shior!
God bless d paralympians
God bless d paralympians
Yakubu Adesokan was a beggar who went to TB Joshua for assistance and then the man in synagogue received him and his likes of both male and females as he promised to give the hopeless once new life.
And so he has been taking care of thousands of PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED persons like that and dwarf by sponsoring them in whatever they do to make it in live. Some are in school and those that cannot go to school he establishes to a great extent. He gave Yakubu brand new care last time and I know he must be very cheerful with him for breaking this world record this time.
Linda, it seems you are not aware that TB Joshua has brought back the Nigerians migrant in Libya as they call on him to help them come back. He then took the matter by himself to act in response to their cry, which they are all back now and also he gave them millions of naira to start a new life to avoid them facing stranded because of their present conditions.
Just watch the links below.

That is exactly my comment too.
Lmfao,d guy go watch porn instead of olympic activities
Common bronze sef we no fit win for olympics. We kept dragging for last in everything. Yakubu has made Nigeria proud. God bless you.
Yakubu & Co are the able bodied people cos they have the ability to win (Gold)!!! Those who dont have the ability to win medals are disabled even if they had 10 arms and legs. Congrats Yakubu.
Thank God and he can't walk may God bless. Frm licia sister
Thank you man for making us proud!!!may Almighty God continue to bless you
"Cripple" that harsh pls Physically challanged is more like t....
What do u mean by that, appricate the man and stp being silly....
tanks Adesokun.atleast you've thought us a lesson;its not a bout being complete,its more about being able to compete.Blessing Okhabare and her crew just go disgrace us for London,not to mention the yeye basketball team wey go give another country record wey go take a century to break.

Thank God dem no fit influence disable selection otherwise na some nonsensical stupid idiot for full d team finish.
Yakubu kudoos!!!
Na wa o.... wetin pple wey get 2 legs no fit do 4 olympics, person wey get one leg don do am
Dora u an insensitive fool.
Thanks for making us proud. God bless.
Nigeria is beautiful
theres much ability in any disability. well done Yaks. more grease to your elbows. literally speaking
Maybe we should have a disabled President who can win gold for the Nigerian issue. This president who had no shoe, now has many shoes and cannot perform, let have a feetless/legless person like Yakubu to perform. Really this physically challenged are those who have something to proof.
Thank God Yakubu, na God go reward. At least dem play Nigerian anthem for that place. Thank God, I no know all dem one wet get complete leg and hand, na just yeye dey worry dem, especially useless basket bal player, never been to Nigeria, but played for them.
Wetin bring tb joshua come here.. Wetin concern yakubu and tb.. Get tha fuck oug joor
What d able bodied failed to do, d disabled was able to do n even surpass the previous record by breaking it. Congratulations Yakubu. U made urself proud n the entire nation proud. At least u wipe away r SHAME. God bless u.
yipee...we are so proud of you,go team nigeria..hipsy
Like d parable of talent in d Bible, God collected medal from d able to give d disable, he collected their honor to give to this man, so also God will collect d hands n legs of d olimpians for these pple. Good job.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Yakubu. and thanks for winning 1 for us.:-)
@linda; u didnt tel us he's frm oyo state also trainned dere.. This is really teaching us a gr8 lesson dt nobody has ano excuse fr nt bin sucessful..
Beautiful
Nigeria is a disabled nation so i am not surprised....... this is not to take anything away from our paralymipians more of whom am sure will still make us proud b4 d end of this paralymipic event!
WAY TO GO DUDE.Hope the government will see this and compensate him accordingly 1 billion from stolen money won't be a bad thing now abi?
My eyes gathered cloud as I watch this courageous world record holder & breaker. Congrats true patriot
Congratulations to man!!!!!
Congratulations to man!!!!!
yay! congratulation!
So proud and happy.
well done Yakubu! . this goes to show that being disabled does not not mean you are not able in so many other ways.
Some Nigerians are so sick @ annonymous 7:24pm ,making allegations that our first and possibly the only Gold medalist is in his forties! So what ! u r such a pessimist who has never achieved such greatness in thier own lives...... despite the terrible state of government funds on sports in Nigeria and particularly on Paraylyimpics and disabled people in general in Nigeria. This young man still made his way to the top,not only by winning a gold medal but also breaking a world record in his chosen sport. It is time we celebrate our own......
