Hi,
My name is Latifat, a Nigerian journalist covering AFCON in Morocco. If you see this post, please engage with my posts and give me a follow for more.

It's crazy realising there are Nigerian media attachés at these games, but their roles and presence are confusing.
Many things I’ll never understand.
By the way, Nigeria was the only country in Dakar, without a designated media rep 🚶♂️🚶♂️.
Every other country had their representatives helping out with interviews and media related activities. But green and white was nowhere to be found.
I remember when I was in Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games, and some LOC officials when they realized I am Nigerian, tried interfacing with me in that regards.
At the Weightlifting venue in Glasgow, some of the Nigerian delegates were recording live sessions with their phones, and a member of the LOC brought me in to speak to some of them (since I am Nigerian as well). In fact, there was one that they almost used security to throw out.
It's the duty of the Nigerian Olympic Committee (NOC) PRO to enlighten its delegation on the media rules at global championships.
A media rep for the NOC, ought to be present for every interview any Nigerian athlete was doing, to be sure they are asked the right questions, and that the athletes are not putting themselves in trouble with their responses etc.
I would have said that we still have a long way to go, but we don't even have any way to start with.
As much as sharing these frames, de sweet my belle, looking at them and seeing the smile forever plastered on my face confirms that I still trail this career path with the unmissable passion that set the ball rolling from the start. Alhamdulillah for that.
BTW, my media accreditation for the Youth Olympics was earlier rejected. But here I am, experiencing my first Olympics because a couple of people fought tooth and nail over a series of emails.
So yes, having passion, dedication, blah blah are cute; but our dreams become reality because of the ones in our corner. Ones who see the potential in us and push us to reach the peak of it.
To everyone involved, ile ise yin oni jona o.

Interviewed the mother of a Colombian player after she watched her 16-year-old boy win a historic silver medal at the Youth Olympics. She was crying, the boy had tears on his face—guess who was overwhelmed with emotion too and couldn't continue the interview. Yes, me. 😭
Happy Birthday Unc @CalvinEmeka you rock 🫶🏾. May your light continue to shine bright.

Congratulations to Nigerian female umpire, Rose Onoja Abu, on officiating at the WTA 125 in Luanda, Angola, the first ever WTA 125 event on African soil!
Milestones like these remind us of the possibilities that lie in being consistent and being diligent with what we do.
One day, very soon - a Grand Slam event. Amen!🙏🏽

For the future!!
Nigeria's Obanla Ehuwa gained valuable experience competing in the men's High Jump at the Youth Olympic Games.
The former ISL (UNILAG secondary school) student might not have won a medal, but he jumped a new Personal Best, scaling over a height of 1.97m.
Here for all but most especially Obanla Ehuwa.
It's another important day on the Athletics track for Team Nigeria at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games!
Four Nigerian athletes will be in action today, with Gift Oghenerunor and Rita Chisom Ezeh contesting the 400m hurdles semifinals, while Obanla Ehuwa and Praise Ugoh compete in the High jump and 400m finals, respectively.

Two years ago, I sat with 14-year old Kemi Adegbuyi while she was with FC Robo Queens and she had only one goal in mind - to become a professional footballer.
Today, she’s a world champion with the Nigeria Flamingos 🇳🇬 , winning the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco 🏆
The best guy fr 🙌🏿😁🫶🏾
