Photographs: Meet Chierika Okogu, the primary competitor to speak to Nigeria in Rowing at the Olympics Games

US-based Chierika Ukogu will impact the world forever at the 2016 Olympics Games, being the principal rower to speak to Nigeria. Conceived on October 1992, Okogu, who is an alum of Stanford University, said in a late meeting that the game had been testing yet she will put in her best, including that her preparation with individuals from the U.S. group at the Vesper Boathouse at Schuylkill, Philadelphia had built up her abilities.

"It is my definitive objective to be the first Nigerian to push at the Olympic Games. Heading into Rio, it's a truly great opporunity for Nigeria. This is the first occasion when we've had a competitor at the Olympics in the game of Rowing," said Ukogu
