Following his amazing performance at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championships late Friday night, Nigeria's Divine Oduduru set the records straight by becoming the second fastest African man on the planet.

Oduduru became the second behind his compatriot and legend Olusoji Fasuba, winning the 100 meters in 9.86 seconds which is the fastest ever by an African since Fasuba ran a slightly faster time of 9.85 seconds 13 years ago in Doha.

The Texas-based athlete also won the 200 meters in 19.73 seconds, 45 minutes after his heroics in the 100m.
