Sports / Anthony Joshua: How Nigeria Rejected Heavyweight Champion Years Ago by olups(m): 1:53pm On Apr 30, 2017
Jeremiah Okorodudu, a former boxing champion, has revealed how boxing rave of the moment, Anthony Joshua, was rejected by Nigerian boxing officials nine years ago.

Joshua caught global attention and became a darling of boxing fans Saturday night after he humiliated Wladimir Klitschko, at the Wembley Stadium in England.


Speaking with UK Sun, Okorodud recalled that nine years back, Joshua’s efforts to represent Nigeria at the 2008 Olympic Games were futile as the Nigerian boxing officials turned him down.

He said, “Joshua was in Nigeria once to connect with his roots and I think that was in 2007.

“He wanted a chance to compete for trials ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympics qualifiers, but he was denied and not given a chance.


“Disappointed, he went back to England to represent Great Britain.

“He went on to win a gold that could have been a first for Nigeria at the Olympics.

“If only they had allowed him to compete for Nigeria, that gold would have been a Nigerian gold and not Great Britain’s.”


Another Nigeria coach at the time, Adegboyega Adeniji-Adele also confirmed the fact that Joshua was at the Nigerian camp.

“Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua is his name and his family come from Ogun state in Nigeria,” he told the newspaper.

“When he visited, his intention was to represent Nigeria at the Olympics but he was denied in the trials. He had no other option than to go to Britain.

“It’s Nigeria’s loss, Britain’s gain. Personally, I feel sad that they let him go and those people should be made to explain why it was impossible to give him a chance.”

However, Obisia Nwakpa, who was the chief coach of the boxing team in 2008, defended the decision of not taking Joshua to the Olympics.

“We made the right call then, because he wasn’t good enough and we picked someone who was much better,” he was quoted as saying.

Celebrities / Fatai Rolling Dollar Passes On At 85 by olups(m): 2:37pm On Jun 12, 2013
Unconfirmed reports surfaced, saying that veteran highlife musician Fatai Rolling Dollar, is dead.



Born 22nd July 1926, Rolling Dollar was known for his verve and dexterity on the guitar.

His zest for life and energy, even in old age, was also a marvel to all who beheld him perform.

The 85-year-old highlife music icon who had his career revived at a point when it seemed all hope was lost, is reported to have passed away today June 12, 2013 at Ahmadiyya hospital located in the Igbado-Iyaiye environ of Lagos.

He was admitted into the local hospital weeks ago, although he came out last week to say he's back on his feet and warming up to perform again.

NET could not immediately confirm reports of his death from family sources. But condolences are already streaming in via social media Twitter, Facebook and several blogs.

A few popular names in the Nigerian showbiz industry are already mourning, with many OAPs, musicians, actors and journalists sending out condolences on different platforms.

Fatai Rolling Dollar, born in the mid-twenties made highlife music very popular in the 60s and 70s. He had his career revived and made a comeback in the late 90s revamping the evergreen classic 'Won kere si number wa'.May his soul rest in peace
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Why Are There No Job Agencies In Nigeria??? by olups(m): 7:58am On Apr 12, 2013
There is Federal and state civil service commissions. A graduate can go there to pick up emplyment form then fill it and submit it along with his/her CV. I think u can even do it online now but I'm not sure of their website so I can't give it now. The purpose of filling this form is to register ur qualification so that when there is vacancy in any government establishment that requires someone in your field then u can be contacted and automatically given the job, however, I'm not sure its working like that again

Religion / Re: Catholic Church Pulls Out Of CAN! by olups(m): 8:46am On Jan 24, 2013
This is pure envy from the catholic church, it is obvious they never wanted a pentecostal pastor to head CAN, imagine since the creation of CAN its always been them, anglican and Methodist. I don't see any reason why they should pull out simply because the president was there when the jet was presented to pastor Ayo Oritsejafor. Instead of the whole christians in Nigeria to unite and fight against the oppression of the church some people are busy thinking of CAN politics, I'm so ashamed of this move and I totally condemn it, in my opinion I think pastor Oritsejafor has been the most active president CAN has ever had cos I don't even know such association existed b4 his election. I pray the Lord will save christians in Nigeria because in a situation where the church leaders cannot unite themselves, I hope we don't lose this battle against christianity. I urge the Catholic authority to have a rethink because the excuse they gave for pulling out is not justifiable
