In their own words 10
, I am looking forward to Tokyo 2020 and I believe everything will fall in place for me.
Sports is big business. You have to invest. And you know we have great talents in Nigeria but you know, at the end of the day, all do not pay attention to these talents.
I feel like most of the time, really some of us don’t pay so much attention on ourselves and try to put other people or other things into it.
