Nigerian Sprinter Favour Ofili Opts To Run For Turkey
Nigerian sprinter Favour Ofili has reportedly switched allegiance to Turkey after the Athletics Federation of Nigeria failed to enter her in the 100m at the Paris Olympics, despite her qualifying. She also missed Tokyo 2020 after Nigeria was disqualified over failed d0ping protocols.
She now joins a wave of athletes switching to Turkey, including Jamaica’s Paris 2024 discus gold medalist Roje Stona, shot put bronze medalist Rajindra Campbell, and U-20 triple jump world record holder Jaydon Hibbert.
Reports say Turkey is offering $500k to each athlete, along with generous training and competition bonuses.
Every athlete deserves to have the support they need to compete well. Naija no try for their athletes one bit. It’s a damn shame and disgrace. Japa everywhere
