As a young kid, it’s something I enjoyed most. When I was still in primary school, I loved running and at that stage, I was better than my peers. That started building my interest in the sport till I got to secondary school. I also continued with my sprints and was doing very well, winning school competitions. From there I was selected to represent the school in relays.
In every sportsman’s life, the Olympics is the pinnacle and competing at the Olympics alone is an achievement, not to talk of winning a medal at the event. The best thing that has happened to my career as an athlete was that Olympic medal. But breaking the 10 seconds barrier is something a lot of athletes crave for. It puts you in a league of elite athletes. Some athletes cherish running sub-10 seconds more than winning an Olympic medal. For me, winning a medal at the Olympics is the biggest.
Honestly, it was really not easy, and this is one issue I have not talked about in a very long time. I was not supposed to come to the African Games because they were doing so many things to keep me out of the competition. Eventually, and thanks to God, I was able to come for the competition, even though many of the Nigerian officials did not want me at the event. But I still had some that supported and encouraged me.
