Nigeria’s fastest female sprinter, Blessing Okagbare Ighotegunor has stated that her husband, Igho Otegheri has been her greatest achievement, two years into her marriage with him.
The Commonwealth Games record holder on her facebook status wrote: “Glory! It is another special day for us. Two years ago God blessed me with my greatest achievement Igho Otegheri and, I can’t thank Him enough for how far He has brought us.”
She added: “Thank you heavenly Father for your steadfast love that never ceases, thank you Lord for the peace and love we have enjoyed and shared as couple, above all, we thank you Lord that we are still standing by your grace. Happy Wedding Anniversary to us.”
In November 2014, Okagbare married Nigerian footballer and former Super Eagles player, Igho Otegheri in an elaborate wedding held in Delta State.
Though, Blessing had a disappointing show at 2016 Rio Olympics as she finished without a single medal. However, the Sapele –born athlete was ranked 3rd in 100m semi-final finishing at 11.09s and ranked 8th with her teammates in the final of 4x100m relay .
Her 100m best of 10.79 made her the African record holder for the event until it was eclipsed by Murielle Ahoure in 2016.
