in 2010 i left my job i came to benin
city
and i always go to the sports complex
where i always see kids training
and
there was no coach
after that time so i decided to help
them
put them through with my experience that
i had as an athlete
so they were growing and they were
running faster and getting stronger
and
it seems like everything is just working
very right and people started
encouraging me to go take a coaching
course so that i will be
officially a coach
that will be able to groom and to
nurture athletes to high performance i
eventually went for the coaching course
and upon my return
i started
scouting for young athletes and grooming
them
in 2010 my parents took me from delta
to mr kaya de yaya horizon benin
and then i started training with him
koshka daya doesn’t just train us
physically but he trains us both
spiritually and mentally and then he
introduced me to winners chapel that was
when i joined the choir
i believe in god and everything i do i
put god first
so
before we get started in practice every
time we take charge
and we pray
and there about time i introduced them
to my church
they even joined service groups
you know practicing everything with
practice at venus chapel
and then including the mysteries like
the communion the field washing the
blood of sprinkling and the men to
service we take that dearly and we take
it very seriously
so we keep practicing the believing god
that our performances by doing is real
according to matthew 63 we always make
us stand out standing in 2012 i went for
my first competition ever
which was the national sports festival
where i got my first goat
and then
the following year i went for the
african junior championship where i
represented nigeria for the very first
time and i got
four medals in total and then 2014 i
went for the commonwealth games where i
competed for nigeria as well and
i
competed in the senior category while i
was still a junior and i won a good
medal at the commonwealth games then in
2015 i went for my last junior
competition where i won four medals
and also
we got the
african junior record that same year
meanwhile my myself and the rest of the
team and also my coach we go for
attritions we engage in kingdom
advancement endeavors
we use we also use our social media
platform as a way to you know reach out
to people
talk to them talk to them about god and
um
towards the end of 2015 i got seriously
injured and i was supposed to go in for
surgery but
i refused and during shiloh
i
committed myself into gotham hoping and
believing that god will heal me
and all through 2016 which was the
olympics year i was using my mantu
and then when i went for the competition
the olympic competition i had to tie the
mantle on my leg which is the one that
was hurting and i competed with it that
way and to the glory of god i was number
five i came number five in the world at
that very olympic games
after the real olympic games i got a
scholarship to school at the eastern
mediterranean university where i also
started training i had to combine school
and sports together but it wasn’t easy
for me because my performance keeps
dropping
so
the school had to ask me what they
what they could offer me they could do
for me to help boost my performance so i
told them to bring in my coach and that
was how they employed my coach
to train me which has not been done
anywhere in the world the school wrote
to me and asked me to join
sa
at the eastern mediterranean university
so i left we started working
from there her performance changed
that moment she became
the turkish champion
and from there she started getting all
the accolades back
and then 2019 i performed at the world
championship in doha where i won a
bronze medal
and after that competition i was
preparing i started preparing for the um
olympic games which was last year 2021
but it’s called 2020 tokyo olympics and
then i had to do something different
which was the 21 days first usually i’ll
fast from six to

two but this time around i had to go all
out i was doing it from six to six and i
did all 21 days i was doing it and i was
also training my body was wearing out i
was very weak in training but i never
slept
and after the 21 days my performance

performing really well all through that
student few few months to the
competition three months to the
