Phillips Idowu Clinches World Athletics Gold

**No Smoking** · Aug 18, 2009 , 10:23 PM

Great Britain's Phillips Idowu clinched triple jump gold at the World Athletics Championships, setting a new personal best of 17.73 metres.

Idowu, who won silver at last year's Olympics, edged out Portugal's Nelson Evora, who pipped Idowu in Beijing.

So pleased for Phillips. He's been a long campaigner in this event..

Another of our sons, Larry Achike, is following closely.

No Smoking,

Someone should advice him to get rid of those slavery chains, daft head colouring and metal objects that clearly shows his London Council Estate roots��. Nonetheless, congratulations to him.

Larry Achike is not top class�..

My brother, there’s nothing wrong with him showing his “London Council Estate roots” - if indeed those are his roots. He’s doing an honest job and is comfortable in who he is and the fact today’s underprivileged or crime-prone kids will be identifying with him does more for the health of society than maybe a thousand Bobbies on the streets.

Balo, 'e good seh awa pipul fit shine on da world stage, even if na under other flags wey nor be green-white-green.

Diaspora full of orishirishi. 419-ers, benefit fraudsters, drug peddlers and ordinary robbers boku. Diafor, when we see dem weh dey put in honest endeavour, 'e good make we salute and encourage dem to even do more.

For dis championship alone, I see wan Nwachukwu babe run for Germany, Okoro babe run for GB, apart from Ohuruogu wey be champion wey lose. For previous competitions, awa pikin dem don run for Canada, Spain, Portugal, etc. We get pikin wey dey tear soccer for USA.

Crab dey waka sideways, but 'e still dey reach wia im wan go...

No Smoking,

You are very correct they need Gender confirmation about Phillip�. If you watch the way he walks, there is something �Sissy� about that his walking style��
