AMAZING!! Such a proud moment for them
wow so proud! representing 9ja. nice. big ups Banky, Sasha, Yaw, Kanu and Funke, kip our flag flying high.
banky *coughs, coughs* without his caps give me chills. he is still a fine boy sha
. correct one my people represent well.
lool… I bet Banky really wished he could wear a hat today… this is the first time ever lool,
yep…. am sure he did. But am so proud of him u know why: BECAUSE his confidence is finally coming out. It must be so hard for a young guy like him to lose all his hair suddenly (i presume he is bald that is why he wears the hat all the time). Regardless, embrace your insecurities and celebrate them. Well done everyone for representing Niaj…

lmao@berry !
lol @ Berry
You almost confused me because you gave the guy a whole different name. Anyway, that is Banky W. I know, he’s bald due to medical condition. I admire him that he didn’t let that stop him and he did it without his hat. And, for that I will say, hats on or off, he looks handsome.
nice one pple.
Go Naija!!! Love u Funke
Banky W, please stop wearing caps all that time. You needs to release yourself from the self inflicted cap-wearing bondage. Nothing wrong with your head dude, we all have our interesting body parts. You remain very handsome. So please give all your caps to charity!!
all the* time, i mean
Ah! I had to jump in oh! The HEAD! Na men – its something oh:-). I no fit shout.
Glad to see Naija represented in a great way.
Well done people!!
Nice, I guess they had a lot of fun . but I was expecting to see more athletes (not just Kanu) lifting the torch too.
Proud Nigerian!
I take it all back. My comment on the head. Probably the chemo from the cancer treatments, and I was here running my big mouth.
Loving the head:-).
nice 1….
