Nigeria in Athletics massive age cheating fraud

Nigeria in danger of athletics fraud!
Nigeria through her Athletics Federation has perfected a massive but criminally fraudulent measure to go the next African athletics championships holding in Botswana to cheat again.
For weeks, I had been investigating the federation and how they have been manipulating all sorts of facts in the bid to cover their dirty tracks.
The secretary general of the world body, IAAF, also got trapped in the maze to cover the Nigerian federation (see reports on the sports pages of www.nationalaccordnewspaper.com).
The latest is the massive importation of 30 year olds to participate in championships for 17 year olds. This is authoritative. I could have blown the story two weeks ago but decided to tary until my facts matured irrebutably.
These athletes have already gotten their entry visas to Botswana. They are grieviously over aged with graduates of 2007 in secondary school, graduate of unilag, serving police and army personnel being paraded as u-17. What a shame?
The list includes Uzodimma Aniagolu.
Goodness Tom it was gathered is of the Nigeria police force. You must be 18 years to join the force. Even if this athlete joined the force this year, such is no more eligible for the African junior.
Other glaring cases of disdain cheating include the following whose records are manipulated. Some of them have three Nigerian passports. They include Abibatu Iyadunni, Omaka Josephine, Bukola Abogunloku, Tobi Ogunmola, Nkechi Chime.
A very sweet case is of Nkeiruka Florence Uwakwe. She was the sports prefect of her school, Community Girls Senior Secondary School, Umungasi-Aba, where she graduated in 2007 with 6 credits, two passes including English and one fail.
She must have been at least three years before starting school. Assuming instead of six years in primary she spent five, she will leave at eight. She spent five years to be school prefect. So if she graduated at 13, which is rare in Nigeria. She must be 18 this year!
To show that Nigeria has been cheating as a perpetual policy, the same girl went to world youth athletics championships last year and is to go to the African junior this year! Progress or demotion? Its simply a case of mindless cheating.
Other confirmed cases of crass cheating are of Margaret Etim, Chibeke Feelim, Onyeji Nwafor, Jabhet Samuel, Ndubuisi Paul, Oluwakemi Francis, Ifoken Igeinosun, Okeudo Jonathan and Ayobami Tunde.
What a shame.
In case details of how each athlete's cheating history is required from this squad, I shall release same within minutes. All the athletes I have listed here are in the Nigerian team to Botswana and they are all agents of cheating.
However, if the AFN goes ahead to take this team to Botswana, I am ready to seek for a refund of the tax payers' monies so expended on the trip and demand of the IAAF to be forthright for once and boldly ban Nigeria, withdraw such medals won.
We have several juniors, real juniors, in the country who could have been prepared for this trip. The win-at-all-cost syndrome to justify the heavy monies spent is why they do this great disservice to this nation and the sport.
In this team, we have a quarter miler whose personal best by the records of the AFN is a 48 seconder! Can a 16 year old return such? Haba AFN!
One of your juniors was in the world universities games in 2005 and in 2011 is a junior. This is obviously senseless cheating. I have the three Nigerian passports of this single athlete all changed at the AFN's instance.
Okay. We siddon dey look. This official corruption must stop for God' sake. God bless Nigeria.
