Favour Ofili’s Journey to Mental Strength After Nationality Switch Setback
Nigerian sprinter Favour Ofili says she leaned on therapy, her coach and close friends to overcome a tough two years. After missing the Tokyo Games over federation testing lapses and being left out of her event at Paris 2024, she even sought to switch allegiance to Türkiye. That application was rejected and her recommended N8 million compensation remains unpaid. Now at peace, Ofili focuses on what she can control and prioritises her mental health. She’s back on the track, proud of her season’s best in Texas and excited to chase success in the 200 metres.
