Nigerians have hailed and expressed support for the country’s first ever rower at the Olympics Games, Chierika Ukogu.
The 23-year-old became Nigeria’s first ever representative in rowing at the Rio Games and has continued to make history.
On Tuesday, a day after she made it through to the quarter-finals of the women single sculls event, Ukogu, made it to the semi-finals.
Nigerians, who have lamented the shoddy preparations ahead of the games, took to the social media to celebrate her victory, wishing her more success at the Games.
“We do not have natural disasters in Nigeria, the only disaster we have is human beings,”

Her Event was Women's Single Scull
Gold went to Australia, Silver to the USA and Bronze to China
The winners came from the A-Final...She was in the D Final. It is the way rowing works at the Olympics.
Check the Event details here.
I admire the girl's grit but you know the saying it takes a village to raise a child...well it takes a fully equipped training village to raise an olympic winner (most of the time). Miracle medals coming from nowhere are becoming increasingly rare.
