An eight months pregnant athlete Aminat Idrees clinched a gold medal at the ongoing National Sports Festival, in Benin City, Edo State.
Idrees won in the Mixed Poomsae category in Taekwondo, organizers said Monday, describing her achievements as "inspiring." The 26-year-old expectant mother, who could be seen in a footage shared on Twitter demonstrating different combat techniques, also picked up other medals in a non-combat simulated category of Taekwondo known as Poomsae....
"It's such a privilege for me. I just decided to give it a try after training a couple of times... It feels really good," Idrees said after the competition.
"Before I got pregnant, I had always enjoyed training, so it didn't seem different with pregnancy," she added.
A video of the visibly pregnant competitor was shared online, triggering mixed reactions on social media, with some critics suggesting the woman shouldn’t have competed due to her condition.
The expectant mother responded to online criticism saying she didn’t put her baby at risk by showing her skills at the competition.
“A lot of people don’t understand what Taekwondo is actually about,” she added.
“I feel this is an avenue to educate people about this. Taekwondo has two branches: the combat sport and Poomsae – which is a form of exercise... just displaying the hand and leg techniques in Taekwondo. I participated in a Poomsae event.
“I felt there wasn’t much risk attached to it, so I decided to give it a try. My doctor, as well as the organizing body of the games certified me fit to participate in the non-contact sport,” the champion recalled.

MY BIRTHDAY TESTIMONY.
I SNAPPED OUT OF IT!
When I was younger, I was very sickly. I still remember clearly my mum would carry me on her back to and from Jericho hospital Ibadan. I was always sick and got tired easily. I was a regular patient at the hospital. I was always short of blood. I slept off in church the moment we arrived. People thought I was SS(Sickle cell patient). One of my uncles would taunt and reproach me as a weakling. He even gave me a degrading nickname which depicted I was a weakling, and he called me that name everyday.
I was on unending doses of Tonic, multivitamins , and food rich in proteins(my siblings and I still joke over this till date). Oh, I still have the smell of the tonic medicine, and the hospital rooms and floors in my brain. The smell is stuck in my subconscious forever. There was no solutions as it were to my sickness, but perhaps, management.
SOMEWHERE between 1988/89 however, I was miraculously healed, I MIRACULOUSLY SNAPPED OUT OF THE SICKNESS! It felt like I just walked out of it and forgot I was ever sickly in the past.
Looking back today, with a more mature spiritual lenses I believe very strongly that the sickness was a spiritual attack on my life and destiny .It was aimed at terminating my life as a child. It was an attack to distract me from attending elementary school, and then have a flaky foundation. It was a huge demonic distraction for my parents who had to fend for 6 of us plus other family members living with us.
I have snapped out of that unending hospital visits for decades now. No injections pierced my skin since 1988/89 except for a few vaccines I received, or maybe one or two other times in between that I was sick very briefly. In fact I have only had just one hospital admission since 1988, and that was last year 2020, when I removed my appendix.
Today, by the grace of God, I am strong, hail and hearty. I can multi- task and joggle multiple things together. By my God, I can run through the troop, and scale over walls. I do not in anyway look like who I was before I was 10. I am eternally grateful because God is my strength and shield.

History Maker...And Okonjo-Iweala Emerges First Female Director-General of World Trade Organisation
Nigeria’s former Minister of Finance and a former Managing Director of the World Bank, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has made history by emerging as the first female Director-General of World Trade Organisation (WTO).
Okonjo-Iweala emerged as the first African and the first female to attain the position of WTO Director-General.
She defeated South Korea’s current Minister of Trade, Yoo Myung-hee, in a fierce battle for the coveted job on Monday night.
News agencies reported that with the European Union and the United States moving in opposite direction, a move that triggered a deadlock between the two powerful geo-political allies for the first time in many years, it was the decisive and quiet support of China that finally tipped the scales in Okonjo-Iweala’s favour.
Okonjo-Iweala, 66, served as Nigeria’s first female Minister of Finance and later Foreign Affairs.
She has a 25-year career as a development economist and international finance expert at the World Bank.
The new WTO Director-General is also on Twitter’s Board of Directors and is a Special Envoy for the World Health Organisation’s COVID-19 fight.
Congratulations, Madam Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala!
