Guardian reports that Okagbare was Team Nigeria’s medal hope at the IAAF Championship in Beijing but she fumbled in the 100m final, finishing last, and also failed to show up for the 200m event four days later, despite appearing in the warm up area. She claimed injury and while some Nigerians were yet to come to terms on what transpired in Beijing, there was a shocker a few days ago, when Okagbare announced she will not be representing Team Nigeria for the 11th All Africa Games in Congo, an action which AFN and NSC finds unpatriotic.

What she did,no professional athlete will diss representing their country so if that's what it takes,so be it,our Nigerian sports people need to sit up,they need to be humble,focus and get their focus right
Why would you say she was used,wasn't she paid? Didn't she get more than any athlete has ever gotten in Nigeria? You people just jump into conclusions without getting your facts right
Who God don bless...
I saw it coming!
They just use and dump these athletes. Is this not the time to support her and help her get back to her former form?
Pls adaobi they r not over reacting anything. She has a duty to perform so she ought to do it well. Her villagers have finally found her! Ble ble I will remember you in my prayers inugo

They may use and dump athletes but she messed up this one. She's skipping the national meets that's are mostly for points, medals and "glory" but has ability to make the big money meets like the diamond league event. If she doesnt want to go fine. It gives some young talent a chance to participate and start to develop.
Lets just wait and see but Blessing has truly given her all. Her decision, her life.
Awww 9ja!
How did they use and dump her? Soja go Soja come, barracks remain the same. We need those that can win us medals, simple. Once you are expired you give way.
She lost confidence coz she 4 still come last. Make she pack well jare other Pple dey
Nigerians should understand. She just got married and it defiantly must affect her performance .
Naija forming vexation.
i hope they had a discussion with her before branding her as unpatriotic.
For all we know, she may be pregnant....

How can they just ban her. This how stupid we reason, i can bet that she would be running for another willing country that would buy her services. That's how we loose all our athletes to Uk, US, European countries and even the middle east countries.
Wow
Abeg ask am o
They never do well on track anyway, when you see them at the starting point you already know they won't finish in the first 5
Exactly my dear,ungrateful people
Nigeria does not deserve Blessing. Its a shame that she is the greatest Nigerian runner and yet no good encouragement from NSC and AFN.
And u defending professional, how professional has Nigeria being with Blessing
Hmmmmm...
Dis is wht I call b impatience frm our sports authority. Biko they should tak several seats and b patience wit her.

One problem with Nigerian Sports is ego. If na true say she don dey yari yari too much make Dem drop am. De fame don enter her head now everybody must kneel to beg her. Oya next athlete. Shameless nation. No respect for anytin even for oneself.
They should free this babe a beg, after her last outing she needs time to reflect and get her acts back

What if she no fit humble herself. Na lack of respect na him be de beginning of failure. Her wahala too much. Next you go hear say she don marry one Oyibo say she wan run for Amoda country. Opari. Finish.
Blessing fall follows pride!
its quite pathetic the way the sport federation handles issues, from her first race, she wasnt in form, it was glaring from the way she ran, exhausted and finding it hard to push herself to momentum. if she actually competed in another competition after the word games, it was only a way for her to have the mental and run up build up for the olympic games.
what should have been expected of our Athletic federation was to give her support and concentrates on the athlete so when they call for trials we would have athlete that outrun her or push her beyond her limits.
sometimes you wonder who head this athletic federation.
Tor
Maybe she's preggers? It's not easy jo
I Love what she did, because they refused to pay her that's why she refused to deliver.
Okagbare has just been given the freedom she so desperately needs to jump ship. Following the drama of her exit at Beijing, it was so obvious that our lady is under pressure to dump NIgeria for a 'more appreciating and rewarding' country before the Olympics. Mark my word. We shall hear of the new country in the coming weeks and NIgeria would have lost yet another Obikwelu... By the way, have we forgotten the problems created in the NIgerian team to the World championship due to the prefential treatment for this same Okagbare? Serves the AFN right and bye, BLessing
If she is seriously injured??? Den dey should spare her dis time. Linda take note!

Nigeria and bad man management. After all this country is not worth dying for.
Na by force to run to Nigeria?
When I first saw the headline on Nairaland, I taught it was IOC that banned her. Drug issues also came to mind.
But I was relieved when I read that it was Nigeria(NSC) that banned her over injury claims. I think they should just resolve the issue amicably and not loose our main medal hope to another country.
Mmm.... Naija I hail o......
