A victory for his late aunt who advised him to choose Nigeria 🇳🇬 instead of the United States🇺🇸!!
Nnamdi Adeboye Onwaeze was over the moon after competing in Nigeria for the first time and winning the Nigerian 110m Hurdles title. It was a symbolic victory that meant so much to him, because it announced him to the Nigerian audience.
Although he was born in the United States, he was eligible to represent the US. However, his late aunt: Princess Nonye Onwaeze while she was still alive, pleaded with him to choose Nigeria and wear the Green and white kits.
After winning the Nigerian title, he raced to get his aunt's frame to celebrate with it, more like fulfilling a vow, and sign to her that he will now be representing Nigeria.
