Nigeria's withdrawal from the Edinburgh Commonwealth Games in July 1986 was in protest against British
Answer Details
Nigeria's withdrawal from the Edinburgh Commonwealth Games in July 1986 was in protest against the British government's failure to impose sanctions on South Africa. The Nigerian government was unhappy with the British government's stance on apartheid in South Africa and believed that Britain should have done more to pressure the South African government to end apartheid. As a result, Nigeria decided to boycott the Commonwealth Games, which were being held in Edinburgh, as a way of showing its dissatisfaction with Britain's policy towards South Africa.
