An elated Oghenevwogaga told www.aclsports.com that her aim is to break into the senior national team.

The outstanding athlete said despite the upset at the Africa Youth Games in Algeria; she is not ready to give up on her dreams.

Oghenevwogaga said, “I am very pleased with my performance at the Zainab Saleh female championships in Lagos but my mind keeps telling me I can do it. My main aim is to represent Nigeria at the senior level.

The Warri athlete said, “I have been inspiring myself due to all my competitions (National Youth Games in Ilorin), but what inspired me more was the Africa Youth Games I attended in Algeria. Though I was cheated, but my performance made me believe I can do better and conquer.

“My prayers from the day I started the sport, karate is to compete at the international level. I think God is making the way out now and I thank God for his uncountable blessings on me”.
