Did your country participate in any Olympic game, what are they?

Yes, my country (Nigeria) has made a lot of historical record in various Olympic games in Africa, most especially in football, boxing and running. My country participated in the recent African Cup of Nation(Afcon).

Which our uniqueness and effort in the game drove us to the final stage. It also happennin other sports like boxing and swimmin.

Tell us about two games you feel you can participate perfectly in the Olympic.

Due to my passion for sport, I love taking part on football and somersaulting which I can say I'm a bit good at. Everything can be achieved through passion and inspiration, when I was small football was the game I dedicated my interest on.

I dreamt being a good footballer so I choose picking a role I will be playing which I find striking suitable for me, I went a head learning and discovering the role of a striker which I can't say I'm excellent but I'm trying my best.

In conclusion, Olympic in years back till now has been game for entertainment. Many find pleasure taking part or watching, many teams and countries has keep histories and victories. Some are earning through have the skills, taking part in Olympic also follow will physical health advantages.
