Reigning 400M hurdles world champion Nicholas Bett has made it known that the United States of America is seeking his citizenship. Bett through his Facebook page , announced that the country approached him in regard to woo him switch his allegiance and represent USA in future. However, the sprinter who is eyeing a podium finish in the 2016 olympic games is yet to make his decision.
Does anyone believe this? 400h World Champ Nicholas Betts says that US approached him about switching countries

Free drugs in Kenya. Maybe he can make it to the podium in 2016
-
I don't believe it either.
But then I don't believe most of the Obama narrative(s), so don't think of me as a great Kenya expert. -
Why switch to USA and end up like Sam Chelangat who I hear sponsorship was down graded. Let Nicholas switch to Bahrain, win gold for them and pocket $500,000 cash plus other benefits then from there, go anywhere. Including USA. Ruth Jebet got that and she is set should she decide to switch back to Kenya or any other country.

Or end up like Richard Chelimo.

What happened to Chelimo?

It's really pronounced Bernard Langat?

And how do you pronounce Bernard Lagat? I remember commentators of 2014 Chicago marathon mention how good or effortless Eliud Keepkawgy. That actually is the right pronunciation. You are just as clueless as the lady confusing the name Bernard Langat with Bernard Lagat. -

Its a silly claim.
Whats going on? An agent is pitching to get him a US citizenship bid which would get him a lucrative contract, no pilferage from Kenyan officials on incoming money. Agent is suggesting this. He is clearly not aware of the process. -

I believe it because of who actually runs the US and their dream of wrecking the US and the West via "immigration" and diversity - which all brainwashed cucks believe in because they know nothing of real history. -
I believe, happened before..

I bet Obama was behind this
He's opening the floodgates for his mates! -

This is crazy!
The USA receives more VISA request than the rest of the world combined; why would we need to recruit anyone. America produces some world's best 400m hurdlers, we don't need to import any. Since the USA does not have a true national team or national coach, who would be the person doing the recruiting? Even taking the shortest route, marring an American or joining the Army, by the time Bett received his citizenship, his career would be nearly over. Lagat is the only world class track & field athlete I can recall who became an American citizen at the height of their career and he was married to an American, had lived the U.S. for nearly a decade and it still took him 3 years to gain his citizenship. -
Just what we need - another Ken-merican.

Sydney Maree was another. -
Why not? We already outsource to Kenya to fill up our distance squads.

She is a Kenyan which is a clue that she's probably right. Likely the "ng" voiced consonant is sometimes spelled with or without the "n."
This also is a clue how to pronounce "Ngugi" and that the "N" is more about vocalizing the consonant afterwards than a consonant itself. Explains why that rap video about Ndiku sounded like "deeku" not "nnnnndiku" -
The Fact King confirmed this today with one of his sources that this is not true at all. Simply made up. The Kenyan federation asked Nicholas to provide a name and/or contact whom he had been "in contact with" and he had nothing.
Side note - Why in the hell would USA actually want a hurdler. We have plenty of them as it is and just won Gold in the event.
Delete thread and move on.
You're welcome,
