Boxing: Obiano endorses ‘Return of Champions’ ANAMBRA State Governor, Willie Obiano, has put his weight behind the struggle to revive boxing in the country by accepting to host the first world boxing title fight in Nigeria in recent years. The boxing extravaganza will see World Boxing Organisation’s (WBO) International Light Middleweight champion, King Davidson Emenogu, fighting for the World Boxing Federation’s (WBF) interim middleweight world title at the Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka, the Anambra State capital on Boxing day, December 26. The six-bout promotion will also see some top professional boxers based abroad returning home to showcase their talents to Nigerians. The event, being promoted by Emmaco Sports Limited and tagged ‘Return of Champions,’ will also feature current WABU light heavyweight champion, Jude Illo, in a WBF light heavyweight title. Current WBF welterweight champion, Gifted Cole, will be going for the vacant WBA PAN Africa middleweight title. The night will also see current Commonwealth super middleweight champion, Isaac Ekpo defending his title. All the listed fighters have signed on for the promotion and according to the promoters of the event, the foreign boxers will be announced next week during a press conference in Awka. The organisers also disclosed that top former Nigeria-born world boxing champions, Herbie Okechukwu Hide, a two-time WBO world heavy weight champion, as well as former WBO Champion, Henry Akinwande and Reggie Johnson will also be present as ringside guests during the ‘Return of Champions’. There will also be lots of side attractions by some top Nigerian musical acts and Nollywood Stars during the event. Governor Obiano recently put his signature on the World’s biggest boxing gloves, which is going round the country to promote the big event. The Governor says he is using the opportunity thrown up by the sporting event to invite the world to Anambra State, adding that he wants to ensure boxing as a sport in Nigeria regains its lost glory like in the days of Dick tiger, Hogan Bassey, Jerry Okorodudu, Obisia Nwankpa and Ngozika Ekwelum, amongst others. http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/sport/188846-boxing-obiano-endorses-return-of-champions 5 Likes |

It makes our road dirty and dusty. We have lots of good roads covered with sand especially that of Bida and Niger street. 1 Like |

The governor asking people to repaint their houses is a welcome development but the government should first try and reduce the level of dust in the state by employing road sweepers and construction of quality inner city roads with under drainage sidewalks. The reason why most houses in onitsha looks old and out of touch is because of this and people wont be motivated to keep painting their houses if the city is dusty. 8 Likes |

There are too many hausa people around Bida road. And they have their Mosque close by too. I am sure they are the early settlers in that area. No wonder most of the streets around the place was named after northern names..from Bida to Haruna to Kano to Sokoto roads etc. This can turn Onitsha to a "no man's land" just like Lagos..

Schematics:So many of them around Sokoto road, Bida road, Haruna and Kano streets, around Creek road and Niger street Fegge and around bridgehead where they have their section too. I guess most are early settlers. Turn Onitsha to no man's land, they know it's not possible. Why do you think they cross into Asaba at the slightest sneeze whenever gbege starts? 3 Likes |

Re: Anambra light of the nation, eastern economy power house. by Schematics: 12:50pm On Dec 03, 2014 |
Since they are part of the early settlers they may claim ownership. Because those streets and roads were not named after northern names for nothing. They must have had some stakes to warrant that. Yeske2: |

Yeske2: Actually, I knew some Hausa guys that could speak Igbo when i lived in Fegge as a child. If Hausa in Onitsha will call Onitsha home, and invest in it, and convince their brothers at the federal government to stop the war against the SE development by blocking any federal amenities meant for the area, then we truly have a country to be proud of. But what i have just said is wishful thinking. Therefore, Onitsha will never be a no man's land because no other ethnic group in Nigeria wants to join hands to invest in it and develop it. 4 Likes |

Now that Onitsha is calm and serene hope they will not take advantage of our cool-headed for cowardice. Although the security situation in the city is top-notch. I do not expect any crisis anymore. Yeske2: |
