Nigeria's Olympic rower Chierika Ukogu makes history, reaches single sculls semifinals

Nigeria's first ever Olympic rower Chierika Ukogu makes history to reach single sculls semifinals. Prior to representing Nigeria, the United States-based athlete had rowed for Mount St. Joseph Academy and Stanford University.
The 23-year-old qualified for the Olympics in October 2015 at the African Olympic Qualification Regatta in Tunisia.
Congrats to her, for making us proud even in the midst of economic hardship in the country.

she has come all this way to make
"united state of Nigeria" proud,
I just hope the sacrifice would be worth it
especially in a country that the minister of
of sports is more of a clown

Waow... God wil not let her down

May be she actually defeated the chosen ones from USA


Go baby! Go baby!! Go baby!!!
Go for Gold

Minister Dalung Solomon Nebuchanezzar, since you nor want make we happy..

I love to see ladies that strive - against all odds - to make things happen in this life. When a woman determines to do something? Nothing stops her. It's sexy.

This young Nigerian lady is an inspiration to millions of Nigerians who have lost hope in this our Nigeria of today. Let us not lose hope, let us be steadfast in loving, praying for, defending and representing our country. We are currently in darkness, but at the end of the tunnel, we shall see light. Let us not lose hope. Not yet.

Thanks to Chierika (God is great) for being an inspiration to us, for being so selfless and for exhibiting a height of patriotism. Go girl! The sky is only your starting point.

God bless us all, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Chierika ---- God is Great!
May your name continue to speak for you till you get the gold Nneoma!

Ok. She wasn't sponsored by Nigerian Government though. I wish her Gold.

Wow!!!!

May she win Gold!
Fvckedyobitch come and see, this girl is defying your evil wishes.


Even though I still feel she chose Nigeria for 'personal' benefits.

Haters Don't quote me!!!

Just hit the dislike button

Good of you girl ........ We dey your back

Kudos to her

i love this girl

I never expererit

Oh my God! Am so inspired by this young woman. If anyone has to hate or criticize this country,she is in the best position as Nigeria has contributed nothing to her success story. Yet she chose to serve the same country .

Let us not forget she spent her own money to get herself qualified for this event and even bought her own kits.

This lady deserve to be CELEBERATED.

We can only pay her back by showing her our LOVE and APPRECIATIONS in our own way.

KUDOS TO HER.

wonderful... I hope the Nigerian gov get it right ...you have done very well....

Good.

What would be better is that this sport gets popular in Nigeria as a result...so that we can bring up more Cherika Ukogus.

I'm proud of her
#this is one of my motivations, if some great individuals can make such sacrifice for this country not minding the precarious situation we are in, then I wont be an exception! #

Just when I'd lost hope in our athletes, a ray of sunlight shines through..
