“It’s been interesting and I thank God for the strength He gave me to compete in these events and to understand the technicalities of both. These are two different events and there are things you can do in one and not in the other. They both have their ways and you have to understand that before taking part in any of the two. It took a lot of practice and patience for me to get to where I am today in both, and I am grateful to God and those who have been helping me, I mean my coaches.”

There are so many athletes competing for the country and I am happy to be among them and also going as far as representing the country at major championships around the world.”

“To my younger self, I’d say: Embrace fearlessness. Don’t shy away from new experiences and challenges. Stepping out of your comfort zone is where growth happens. Surround yourself with positive, supportive people who believe in you and inspire you to be your best. Most importantly, hold onto your faith in God. He is your anchor, your source of strength, and a constant reminder that anything is possible with unwavering belief.”

“Remember, even when things get tough, keep moving forward. Like that grueling workout, even if you crawl to the finish line, the important thing is never to give up. Challenges are not meant to break you, but to make you stronger and more resilient. With faith and perseverance, you can overcome anything.”

“Nigeria has to organise more competitions because even most of the women achieving results are all foreign-based. Home-based can do great, but if we are not able to provide the needed facilities for them to excel,there is no way they can do that. Going back to the men, they are doing great and we need to have support for them. It happened before and we have to go back to the drawing board and see the things that were happening before that are not happening now. We have great people in our federation and we just need support. They have been organising competitions and we know that things can get better by His grace. We know that they will do more and we will soon see our men ruling the world.”
