 Nadeem’s throw of 92.97m broke the Olympic record and was Pakistan’s first gold since the 1984 Los Angeles Games, when it won the men’s hockey. The last individual medal – a bronze – was won in Seoul in 1988 in boxing. “It’s an amazing feeling … to win Olympic gold. I’m thankful to Allah for giving me the fruit of my labour and to all the people back home who prayed for me. I’ll try to do even better next time around,” he told reporters in Paris.

Don't just rebrand, do something!

Nigeria is hosting U-17. Got stuck in traffic last night because the match was in Lagos. Up Naija!

I'm linking to this video of Jay Jay Okocha because the guy has a heart of gold. He just got done training dozens of young Nigerians in an intensive camp for a promotional for Oceanic Bank called Talent Hunt. He is down-to-earth and just great. And in addition to name recognition: when you travel and say you're Nigerian, don't people immediately start naming football players - that's what happens to me o. In addition to that, now he's given more to those youngsters that he trained, and to their families.

Enjoy Okocha's game
