Ibrahim Kargbo, a 28-year-old powerlifter who contracts full-time as a driver for an NGO in Sierra Leone, is training for his country’s “Salone Strongest Man” competition that takes place on April 29, 2017. Also known as “Big 50” (as in 50 Cent), Ibrahim was diagnosed with malaria two weeks ago and it put a bump in his routine, but it hasn’t stopped his resolve to win the 100 million Leone first prize (about $13,300).
