Africans on twitter have resorted to social site twitter to voice their frustrations and disappointment at the level of incompetence and disorganization that the African Athletics championships have seen.
The hashtag has seen Africans from different countries resort to their twitter handles to deride the Nigerian Athletics Federation.
