Not Every Victory Is Measured by a Medal. 🇳🇬🏋🏽‍♀️

Today, we celebrate Mary Taiwo Osijo—not because of where she finished, but because of the courage, discipline, and determination she displayed while proudly representing Nigeria on one of the biggest sporting stages in the Commonwealth.

Competing against some of the world's finest athletes is never easy. Yet Mary stepped onto that platform with confidence, carrying not just the weight on the barbell, but the hopes of a nation. She gave everything she had, fought through every lift, and reminded us that true champions are defined by their resilience, not just the colour of the medals they wear.

Every training session, every sacrifice, every early morning, and every challenge overcome has contributed to the athlete she is today. Results may not always reflect the countless hours of hard work behind the scenes, but dedication like hers never goes unnoticed.

Mary, Nigeria is proud of you. Your journey is far from over, and this competition is another stepping stone toward even greater achievements. Keep believing, keep lifting, and keep inspiring the next generation of Nigerian weightlifters.

The medals tell one story, but your commitment tells an even greater one.

🇳🇬 Thank you for wearing our colours with pride. The future is bright, and we'll be cheering you on every step of the way.

🇳🇬 CELEBRATING A WOMAN OF STRENGTH, VISION & EXCELLENCE 🇳🇬

Behind every successful team is a visionary leader. Today, the Nigeria Weightlifting Federation celebrates Madam Sefiyat Onubaye Ahuoiza, Technical Director of the NWF, whose dedication has helped shape Nigerian weightlifting into one of Africa's finest.

Through years of discovering talent, mentoring coaches, and developing champions, Madam Onubaye has played a pivotal role in Nigeria's continued success on the continental and global stage. Her leadership, technical expertise, and unwavering commitment continue to inspire excellence across the sport.

Ahead of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, she led Team Nigeria's technical preparations from Abuja to Aberdeen, Scotland, ensuring our athletes were fully equipped to compete at the highest level.

Her impact is reflected in Nigeria's achievements, including 10 medals (3 Gold, 4 Silver, 3 Bronze) at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and 29 medals (14 Gold, 13 Silver, 2 Bronze) at the 2026 African Senior Weightlifting Championships.

Today, we honour Madam Sefiyat Onubaye Ahuoiza—a mentor, leader, and architect of Nigeria's weightlifting success.
