Nigeria's Olympic rower Chierika Ukogu makes history, reaches single sculls semifinals

 Nigeria's first ever Olympic rower Chierika Ukogu makes history to reach single sculls semifinals. Prior to representing Nigeria, the United States-based athlete had rowed for Mount St. Joseph Academy and Stanford University.
The 23-year-old qualified for the Olympics in October 2015 at the African Olympic Qualification Regatta in Tunisia.
Congrats to her, for making us proud even in the midst of economic hardship in the country.
