Joseph Obinna Metu // ⓘ (born 12 July 1988) is a Nigerian sprinter who specializes in the 100 metres.[1][2][3] His personal best time is 10.11 seconds, achieved in June 2012 in Calabar.[4]

He finished eighth at the 2006 World Junior Championships. At the 2007 All-Africa Games he won a bronze medal in the 200 metres and a gold medal in the 4 × 100 metres relay. At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing he competed at the 100 metres sprint and placed 2nd in his heat after Francis Obikwelu in a time of 10.34 seconds. He improved his time to 10.29 seconds for the next round, but his time was only the 6th time of the heat and he was eliminated.[2] Together with Onyeabor Ngwogu, Chinedu Oriala and Uchenna Emedolu he also competed at the 4 × 100 metres relay. In their qualification heat they did not finish due to a mistake in the baton exchange and they were eliminated.[2] He also took part in the 200 metres individual, finishing first in his first round heat, with a time of 20.62 seconds. With 20.65 seconds in the second round he only placed sixth in his heat, which was not enough to qualify for the semi-finals.[2] He competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics and the 2014 Commonwealth Games.[3][5]
