Popular Nigerian sports athlete, Tobi Amusan became a topic of discussion on social media a few days ago when she made history at Oregon, USA.
The 25 years old superstar became the first Nigerian athlete to win Gold at the world athletics championship which held in the USA. Tobi’s victory made many Nigerians proud and happy.
However, Tobi’s father granted an interview with Punch newspapers where he disclosed how his daughter, Tobi Amusan insisted on doing sports despite many discouragement from him.
Tobi’s father, Kehinde Amusan further revealed that he never supported his daughter’s sports career from the onset because he wanted her to become a doctor or nurse.
“Tobi, used to lie to me that she was always going to church and used that avenue to be going for her sports training, her mother supported her. I burnt her sports gear when I found out because I wanted her to face her education” Tobi’s father added.
