Getting Married Won’t Halt My Career – Blessing Okagbare

In an interview With Guardian Newspaper, recently married Blessing Okagbare assured us that marriage won’t affect the wonders she does on the track.

According to the gold medalist;

Getting married won’t in any way stop me from doing the usual things on the track, I have been looking forward to this moment and by the Grace of God, we will celebrate it with everything.”
“But one thing I want to assure my fans and all Nigerians is that I will continue to work hard to put smiles on their faces as long as my body allows me to run and jump on the track.
“There (is) lots of work to be done and I have started training well ahead. I will return to the track soon after my wedding and I pray God to continue to guide me and my husband as we commence the journey of our married life,”

According to the woman, who has made Nigeria proud in many international athletic competitions, her newly wed husband is;

“nice and God fearing and those are some basic things I prayed for in a man”.
“He is kind and that is a great thing for me because he supports my life, my career and my aspirations,”

Congrats to her, and we hope she continues to excel in her career and make us proud – don’t you agree?
