CNN's Vladimir Duthiers meets Chioma Ajunwa Opara, Nigeria's only individual Olympic gold medalist and a national hero.
Chioma Ajunwa is the first Africa woman to win gold in the field event (Women long jump event with a 7.12m jump length). She is one of Nigeria's national heroes as the only individual gold medalist from Nigeria. Just so you know, for safety, she keeps her Atlanta 96 gold medal in the bank.
She discribes herself as one little ant in front of the big crowd when she first enter the Olympic stadium back in 1996. She never knew she would be the nation's hero. All because she never knew the meaning of Olympic, she describes not feeling anything in her after winning the gold medal until she got to Nigeria, where she was given the heroine welcome. Looking back she's proud of her achievement at the Olympics and now she's a Commanding officer of the Nigeria Police Force. Nigeria will forever be proud of you...Thank you Chioma

And who told you that she was our only Gold medalist

^ It's a fact. Ajunwa is the only Nigerian individual gold medalist. The only other gold medals were won in team events:
1.)Nigerian football team in 96 and
2.) the Nigerian men's 1600m relay team in 2000 after US was stripped of gold 12 years later (since one of the US relay team members was doping)
