Speaking in the trending video, Amusan said, “As it is now, I have to wear an adidas black tight.
“I will show you what Jamaica did for its athletes. When I tell you that Jamaica is in the same WhatsApp group as Nigeria, but they are not as bad as Nigeria.
“For instance, all the other countries gave their athletes two kits for this competition.
“But Nigeria brought inadequate and inferior kits. This country (Nigeria Athletics Federation) is really embarrassing.”
After the clip made the rounds online, it elicited mixed reactions among Nigerians.
While many netizens hailed her action, a few others argued that Amusan shouldn’t have brought it to the public domain.
