Well done Ese. My family and I are super proud of you - Reno

From the IG Desk of Reno Omokri

Ese Brume has done Nigeria proud. That should be our ONLY concern. She deserves accolades and a huge burst of patriotic support from a grateful nation. That she chooses to dedicate her medal to God, or drape her pastor with it should not be a controversy. You did not win a medal for Nigeria. When you do, you can dedicate it to satan, atheism, or even your girlfriend or boyfriend. But to criticise her choice, after she has removed the shame of 205 million Nigerians who went medal-less until she won, shows that you deserve a Gold Medal in ingratitude.
