"If you are looking for who to give the homes fans the shock of their lives call Botswana's Justice Oratile and he would readily take the call. Not many people would have accurately predicted the outcome of the men's 400m at the African Junior Championships because the heats looked like Nigeria's Gafar Badmus already had it in the bag. Oratile silenced the home fans in Abeokuta pulling a great upset to win GOLD for Botswana in a time of 45.58s" @MakingOfChamps on X 2025-07-18 19:18:21 UTC 42.4K followers, 1488 engagements

""A medical practitioner saved Nigeria's life." - @OgechukwuChime Beauty and brain slaying on the pitch and off the pitch. No wonder Michelle Alozie once joked with her friends abroad "that if anything happens to her Nigerians would come for them." She knows that she is a national treasure. What's that thing South Africans say again: "No DNA just RSA." We don't do that here Michelle has got the Naija blood flowing in her veins" @MakingOfChamps on X 2025-07-22 18:47:10 UTC 42.4K followers, 36.3K engagements

"A good Nigerian ambassador Two-time Olympian Emmanuel Ifeanyi Ojeli was invited by the government of Siena Italy through the Ministry of University and Research to speak at the University of Siena on his sports career. Ojeli has represented Nigeria at two Olympic Games Commonwealth Games and also many African championships and he was one of the few athletes invited by the Italian government to share his life's experiences as an athlete.
