Nigerian ladies emulate Tony Elumelu in physical exercise

The winner of the yoga contest would go home with N100k. The organiser, Fidelis Ozuawala, told Legit.ng that he was inspired to emulate Tony Elumelu, a billionaire businessman who posted photos of his exercise routine.

Fidelis said:

"I organized it because it takes a lot to do what everyone else might find hard to do and people enjoys the views of what they can’t imagine is possible. From the amount of applause I got when I replicated Sir Tony Elumelu’s acrobatic posture, I figured out it’s good to also see what ladies could do. And I am awarding 100k to the best amongst them."
