This year’s Olympic Games (Paris 2024) was quite controversial from start to finish as it kept sending paradoxical cues to the audience and its participants. From its opening ceremony to the doping suspensions, to alleged trans athletes participating in regular categories, to witchcraft themed performances, to its closing ceremony.
There’s definitely a lot to unpack but what was most painful for us was the fact that Nigeria had no medals this year after all our athletes went through in order to participate in the games, given the huge amount of money that was invested by the FG.
While the outcome of events in this year’s Olympic games might be less than desirable, we have quite a number of Nigerian athletes that have done us proud at previous Olympic games and they don’t get enough accolades. Let’s shine the spotlight on a few of them as we focus on Nigerian Olympians that you probably never knew
Chioma Ajunwa-Opara
Chioma Ajunwa, MON, OLY (born 25 December 1970) is a Nigerian former track and field athlete and football player. She started out as a football player and she played as an attacker for the Nigerian women’s team (The Falcons) during the Women’s World Cup in 1991, but she claims she was constantly benched, and her skills weren’t put to good use, so she decided to focus on being a track and field athlete.
As a track and field athlete, Chioma specialized in the 100m, 200m and long jump. She competed at the 1990 Commonwealth Games, winning a bronze medal in the 4 x 100 metres relay, and competed at the African Championships in 1989 and the All Africa Games in 1991 where she won gold medals in the long jump. She was banned from the sport for four years after failing a drug test in 1992, despite maintaining her innocence.
After completing the suspension, she went on to become the first West-African woman, as well as the first Nigerian, to win an Olympic gold medal in a track and field event when she emerged victorious in the women’s long jump event at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, with a jump length of 7.12 meters (on her first attempt) during the final.
She currently serves as a member of the Nigerian Police Force. Chioma remains the only woman to have competed at both the FIFA Women’s World Cup as a footballer and the Olympics as a track and field athlete.
In December 2017, she launched the Chioma Ajunwa-Okpara Foundation to discover new Nigerian stars in sports. The Foundation, in collaboration with the Abia State government, sponsored an Under-16 Athletics Championship for Secondary Schools in March 2018.
Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna
Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna was a Nigerian army major and high jumper. He trained in the high jump under his games teacher and the 1954 Nigerian Athletics Championships saw him establish himself among the nation’s best high jumpers.
A jump of 6 feet 5.5 inches (1.97 m) meant Ifeajuna was chosen to represent his country at the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, alongside Nafiu Osagie.
At the 1954 Games in Vancouver, he competed wearing only his left shoe yet managed to clear 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m), which was both a Games record and a British Empire record for the discipline.
The resulting gold medal made him the first Black African to win at a major international sports competition. The high jump had an African sweep of the medals that year, with Uganda’s Patrick Etolu finishing behind Ifeajuna and Nigeria’s Osagie taking third place.
Ifeajuna received a hero’s welcome upon his return to Lagos and was paraded through the streets before speaking at a civic celebration.
He later joined the military and played a role in the 1966 Nigerian coup d’état.
Nojim Maiyegun
Nojim Maiyegun (born 17 February 1941 in Lagos) is a retired Nigerian boxer, who won the bronze medal in the men’s Light Middleweight (71 kg) category at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
He was Nigeria’s first Olympic medalist. He revealed his loss of vision in 2012.
Falilat Ogunkoya-Osheku (The Gold Medalist)
Born on the 5th of December 1968 in Ode Lemo, Ogun State, Nigeria. Falilat is a Nigerian former track and field athlete who holds the distinction of becoming the first Nigerian to win an individual track and field medal at the Olympic games.
She has won quite a number of national championships, including a gold medal in 1996 in the 400 metres, gold in the 200 metres and 400 m in 1998, and gold again in 1999 and 2001 in the 400m. At the 1987 All Africa Games in Nairobi she won the silver medal in the 200m. In 1995 at the All Africa Games in Harare she won the silver in the 400m, and at the 1999 Games in Johannesburg she won a gold medal in the 400m.
At the 1996 Summer Olympics Ogunkoya won a bronze medal in the 400m, in a personal best and African record of 49.10, which is currently the twelfth fastest of all time. It marked the first time a Nigerian athlete won a medal in an individual track and field event.
Chika Yagazie Chukwumerije
Chika is a male taekwondo practitioner from Nigeria. The son of Nigerian politician Uche Chukwumerije. Chika first drew attention in 2003 during the qualifiers for the 2003 All-Africa Games, where he eventually won a bronze medal in the Heavyweight Male category. He qualified for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, but lost his first bout to Pascal Gentil, the eventual bronze medal winner.
Nevertheless, after a period of intensive training, he became one of Nigeria’s best chances for a medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. He won a gold medal at the 2007 All-Africa Games in the +80 kg class and qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games soon after.
Although he lost to eventual silver-medal winner Alexandros Nikolaidis in the semifinals of the +80kg event, he was entered into the repechage round of the tournament. Here, after defeating Akmal Irgashev of Uzbekistan he claimed a bronze medal in the event, Nigeria’s third medal of the tournament. Four years later he competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics, but did not make it past his first bout.
As I stated earlier, there are several athletes that have done Nigeria proud in times past that didn’t make this list. I feel like they don’t get enough recognition, especially once they’re out of the spotlight. This is our way of giving them their flowers.
You can also join us in doing so by tagging any Nigerian athlete you know and @myfusionapp across social media and dropping nice comments on their profile. Let’s go!
