PARALYMPICS: NIGERIAN WINS GOLD MEDAL, SETS WORLD RECORD

Nigeria's Yakubu Adesokan has won a gold medal in Power lifting and also sent the World record crashing on Thursday with his amazing 178 kg lift in his men’s 48 category which was over three times his body weight. This is the first gold for Nigeria at the Paralympics and this is a deserving compensation to Nigerians after our disappointing feat at the just concluded Olympics.

Well done.
