Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT
Re: Day 11 Action
Depending on what goes on in heat 5
a Personal Best performance or near it...should be enough for the Nigerian to qualify for the Semi Finals.
No..............
Aries Merrit the angel*.....ran too fast..and dragged the others with him....not looking good for the Nigerian.
I don't know why Merrit had to run that fast.....it is only round 1..and he would have won anyway. 
The Nigerian has to do better than 13.57
He needs to come near his pb of 13.54

Tosin Oke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tosin Oke (born 1 October 1980 in London, United Kingdom) is a Nigerian triple jumper. He formerly represented Britain & is sponsored by Mizuno.
He began competing in 1997 for Cambridge Harriers, South-east London, and was coached by Guy Spencer. He won the 1999 European Junior Championships with a jump of 16.57 metres, and in the same year jumped the UK indoor junior record of 16.12m, that still stands today. He then finished fifth at the 2002 Commonwealth Games and twelfth at the 2002 European Championships. In 2003 he came fourth in the European Cup.[1]
His 16.65 metres from the 2002 Commonwealth Games was his personal best for many years.[1] In the 2004–05 season he changed coaches to work with John Herbert, the coach of Phillips Idowu and Jade Johnson at the time.
In August 2007 he finally set a new personal best, jumping a World Championships B standard of 16.86 metres at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.[1] He was controversially left out of the British World Championships team for Osaka initially by Dave Collins and further backed up by Niels de Vos, two men with an impeccable knowledge of athletics.
In 2008, Tosin declared his interest in competing for his country of origin, Nigeria. He also returned to work with his initial coach Guy Spencer. In 2009 at the Mobil National Championships, Tosin jumped a World Championship B standard of 16.65m, and represented them at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin. At the 2009 World Championships he did not reach the final, but came 7th in his qualification group achieving a new personal best of 16.87 metres.
In the 2010 season, Tosin jumped a series of personal bests indoors, finishing with 16.89m in Birmingham.[1] Outdoors he opened up with a short approach competition at the Loughborough international, and in his second competition broke the British Athletics League record with 17.05m at Copthall, Hendon. In his finest season so far, he went on to win the 2010 African Championships in Nairobi, Kenya with a personal best jump of 17.22m, 1 cm off the Championship record, and to top it off, became the 2010 Commonwealth Games Champion in New Delhi, India with his second furthest jump ever—17.16m.

Re: Day 11 Action
It be extreme irony if Tony ends up winning a medal in place of Idowu.....
Tony will has something to prove to the Brits
he is steadily improving , but evidently it is clear that our top athletes still rely on
foreign coaching...

Re: Day 11 Action
cool
The frenchman Christophe Lemaitre is running in 200m,
Smart move, he probably realised he had far better chance
getting a medal in 200m. Best of luck to him, but Bolt will
take first for sure...

Look I'm happy for him and all, but he will be lucky to make the final and if he does...he is taking home the wooden spoon.
