Kemi Olunloyo has been awarded a gold medal for taking part in the Nigeria Prison Sports Festival. The journalist who was recently released from prison on bail, while awaiting trial, shared pictures on Instagram and said:

    #BREAKING Today I was awarded a gold medal in the Nigerian Prison Sports festival which lasted 3 weeks the week I left. Medal day was today at 10am. I was in court.

    YES I enjoyed prison! It is not the best place. My complainant cannot break me. I made the best out of a bad situation. I can even make doughnuts and egg buns too.

    Wardress Sylva taught me. You can also learn hairdressing and sewing. Most of the females are not interested, just a few.

    Ijeoma is on death row and she made the dress I wore on my exit and the one I wore at the news conference. These services were FREE. I also did medication counseling free for inmates as a pharmacist.

    My 81days was not to “correct or rehabilitate” me. I was awaiting trial. Nigeria does not have city jails so we are mixed with convicts. They wear blue, we wear green. That is why I call everyone that called me ex-convict an illiterate.

    I have not been convicted of a crime yet. Take corrections and improve your knowledge of the English language. It was a rousing welcome for me as prison staff have never seen me with makeup and traditional clothing.

    They said I looked good. Even lawyers in court were all talking. Thank you Mr. Chibuike the sports director awarding me the medal. I am now in the history books of Nigeria.

Magistrate court tomorrow. The plaintiff and his lawyers were no show in federal high court. NPF lawyers were pissed as always.
