Because onyinbos can't tell the difference.
Some Niger guy was in one of the rowing heats yesterday. He was so useless he made Eric the eel look like Michael Phelps. Normally na Niger problem be that but the commentators kept on saying he was from Nigeria..
In future I think Nigeria needs to check what kind of people Niger sends to the Olympics

THE rowing novice who won the hearts of Olympics fans when he came LAST in his race admitted last night: “I’ve got no technique.”
Niger’s Hamadou Djibo Isaaka, 35, won a standing ovation after crawling over the finish line nearly 1min 40secs behind the winner of the Men’s single sculls repechage.
He later admitted he had taken up the sport just three months ago — becoming his landlocked African nation’s first ever rower.
Hamadou, a gardener and pool attendant, confessed: “I’ve no technique, but lots of strength and even more enthusiasm. I was so happy at how the crowd cheered me on and I’m proud people say I was courageous to keep going. It’s hard to row 2,000 metres, it nearly broke me.”
The divorced dad of two said he had been thrilled by London’s Tube, double-decker buses and flyovers — things he’d only seen in films.
And he revealed he was seeking a mum of TWINS to massage his painful thumbs, which swelled up in our weather. Hamadou said: “In Niger we believe such mothers have special healing powers.”
He is back in action today at Eton Dorney, Bucks. oh shiiiiiit

I am sure he practiced on Lake Chad and the pool he attends. I am sure he is still better than that Equatorial Guinea Swimmer of the Sydney 2000. That guy was something else.

But isn't there a standard they need to attain, before featuring at the Olympics?? If so how the hell did this one get through?!

Hasn't that lake almost dried out? he must have practised by going the Mungo Park route on the river Niger.
