INTERVIEW: How I became Africa’s fastest man — Nigeria’s Raymond Ekevwo
Ekevwo tells PREMIUM TIMES in Morocco how hard he has worked to achieve his new feat, he also bares his mind on other issues in athletics and more.
PT: The African Games in Morocco is your first senior championship for Nigeria and you won the gold medal. How does it feel hitting it big for the country in your first attempt? PT: You are now a legend in your own right as you have joined the very few athletes like Chidi Imoh, Davidson Ezenwa, Deji Aliu and Olusoji Fasuba who all won gold at the African Games. Can you tell us the secret to your success?
He did his best for me to come to Morocco, to do what needed to be done and the result was the gold I won. Before then, I never took it seriously though I was competing in my school during inter-house sports and the likes, but I didn’t take it seriously as a career.
