YOG are irrelevant now, every hist after this edition will try to cut costs by showcasing sports they don’t want to host.

Even within Africa it's a weird pick. Small country, quite underdeveloped (GDP per Capita lower than Palestine...). 

I guess no one else in Africa wanted it.

Nope. 4 cities bid in total and the IOC chose them. Gaborone, Tunis and Abuja.
