The Future Is Today
Another year has arrived with it's own unique competitions and yet again, Nigeria ended up disgraced, embarrassed and overwhelmed by our sheer lack of preparedness, age factor and overall lack of exposure on the part of both athletes and officials
This is exactly what His Excellency, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah is trying to correct by initiation of the 1 Family, 1 Footballer scheme aimed at preparing Nigerian superstars for the future
Minister for Youth and Sports Development, Barr Dalung in his welcome address to the Team Nigeria contingent at the Regional African Gymnastics Championship in South Africa where they won a total of 11 medals ( 2 Gold, 9 Bronze), stated categorically, that the future of Nigeria Sports lies in grassroots development
This statement is evident in the ongoing IAAF World Athletics Championship going on in London, where Nigeria have failed miserably in the Sports we featured in not to mention many more stuck at home due to visa issues
With 1F1F, Nigerians will be better equipped to take on the world through wholesome education, talent harnessing and optimal learning environment to produce the complete sportsman, who is capable of staking his/her claim anywhere in the world
The excitement around 1F1F is worth it as it will finally bridge the missing gap that we all have been waiting for: Harnessing the grassroots for global domination
It's endorsement across board from FIFA, CAF, NFF and ANSFA is no fluke and buttresses the underlining faith and confidence in it's practicality and sustainability
Join hands today, let's build a better tomorrow for our children
