Nigerian speedster Tobi Amusan was all out to defend her coach Lacena Golding-Clarke after a troll called her teacher 'Bogus'.
World Record holder in the women's 100m Hurdles, Tobi Amusan came for a Nigerian troll who tried to discredit the work and effectiveness of her longtime coach, Lacena Golding-Clarke.
The troll labeled Golding-Clarke 'Bogus' when he called on a Jamaican radio station during an interview with Amusan's coach.

In a post shared on her Instagram page, Amusan showed screenshots of the chat with her coach, where Golding-Clark reported that a Nigerian man called her 'bogus' and 'not her coach' during her Jamaican radio interview.

The Nigerian track queen will then respond to this in a long post, verbally attacking the troll and fiercely defending her coach.

"The someone is mad!! Why would he say that?? Is he blind, deaf, or just rose from the dead?? I’m so sorry mam. You are my coach, the WR holder’s coach,” wrote Amusan.
“Best in bluntness and realness; from you, ma, I have learned strength, determination, self-discipline, and respect, among many others. Mrs. Clarke, I can’t thank you enough for your dedication to helping me pursue my goals and for all of your inspiring lessons,” she added.

“Who is Tobi’s Coach?”
“Tell him thank you.”
“She didn’t coach her.”
“When did she start coaching?”
“Is that your teammate?”… The questions don’t stop, yet you receive every single one of them deftly. Na real woman you be.
