Why context is so important

The runner mentioned is Rachidatou Seini Maikido, who competes in women’s 400m. she is from Niger (officially known as the Republic of Niger), the largest nation in West Africa, and declared independence on August 1960 . It should not be mixed with Nigeria, the neighboring country.

This screen shot gives us the perfect example why you should fully understand the context of things before commenting :)

We wish her and all other athletes competing in the Olympic games best of luck!
