BREAKING: Nigerian Sprinter Favour Ofili Switches Allegiance to Turkey

In a shocking move, Nigerian sprinter Favour Ofili has officially switched her allegiance to Turkey, citing years of neglect and administrative failures by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN). The 22-year-old athlete, known for her impressive speed and agility, has been a star of Nigerian athletics for years.



According to reports, Ofili's decision to switch allegiance stems from the AFN's repeated blunders, including denying her a spot in the 100m event at the 2024 Paris Olympics despite qualifying. The AFN's failure to confirm her doping control tests also led to her missing the Tokyo 2020 Olympic.

The news of Ofili's switch has sent shockwaves through the athletics community, with many expressing disappointment and concern about the loss of one of Nigeria's top athletes. Others have called for reflection on how Nigeria nurtures and retains its sporting talents.


Favour Ofili is a talented sprinter with impressive records, including:


- *150m World Record*: She set a world record in the 150m event with a time of 15.85 seconds at the Adidas Atlanta City Games.

- *NCAA Record*: She holds the NCAA record in the 200m with a time of 21.96 seconds.

- *Personal Bests*: She has personal bests of 10.93 seconds in the 100m and 21.96 seconds in the 200m.

Ofili's switch to Turkey is expected to have significant implications for Nigerian athletics. The AFN will likely face scrutiny over its handling of athlete relations and talent retention. Meanwhile, Ofili's new team will be eager to see her compete under their flag.
