Blessing broke the 14 years jinx of Nigeria not winning since 1999 when Gloria Alozie won silver in the women's 100m hurdles and Francis Obikwelu won bronze in the men's 200m at Seville, Spain.
Blessing Okagbare got Nigeria's first medal at the IAAF World Championships in Moscow on Sunday after leaping 6.99 metres in the women's long jump to finish second behind USA's Brittney Reese (7.01), who became the first woman to win three long jump titles at the world championships.
Congratulations Nigeria! Bless you Blessing!
