American citizen by birth,name"Nichole Denby" whose mom is part Nigerian.
Nichole is on the Nigerian track team that's currently performing at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow Scotland.
The 31 year old mother,Nichole was representing USA team, but recently choosed to start running for Nigeria.
Her decision to run for Nigeria is to make her own continent,Africa Honourable.
She said...
"It's great honour to compete for an African country where my roots come from, and there is no greater honour for me than to do that. The USA is saturated with athletes, they have so many different people, so they really don’t need anyone else. There is no great honour for me to represent a country like this in Africa, it really is an honour."
