Stadium And Street To Be Named After Anthony Joshua In Nigeria by Nobody: 8:28pm On May 01, 2017 |
After defeating Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko, Anthony Joshua is set to be honoured by the Ogun State government, the state where his parents hail from in Nigeria. Majority leader of the State House of Assembly Yinka Mafe says he will move a motion in the state legislature to have the Sagam International Stadium renamed Anthony Joshua Stadium, and the popular Cinema Street in Sagamu renamed Anthony Joshua Street. Of the two, the street is the most significant, as his family owns almost half the land and property on one side of the street. The cinema, from which the road takes its name, was built by his great grandfather Omo-Oba Daniel Adebambo Joshua in the 50s, and is one of the oldest of such facilities in the country. Mafe joined hundreds of Sagamu youth to watch the fight in an open air viewing event organised by the Sagamu Youth Congress, and was thrilled by both the turnout and the outcome. "We are proud of what he has achieved as a son of Sagamu, and we will be happy to do our own little bit to show our appreciation and support for him," Mafe said. http://nigconnect.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=945# 18 Likes 3 Shares

When the guy wanted to box for Nigeria years ago they didn't allow him. So it is now that they recognize him as a human being. 110 Likes 10 Shares |

Why is Nigeria cursed with stupid leaders both the NA and HOA, stupid judiciary, and policing system? The way they react to things in general is mind boggling! Someone who they rejected and humiliated some years ago, now they want to show recognition? Just no shame at all!! There was indeed a country 29 Likes 4 Shares |

I have nothing to say except blame people that voted these people to represent them. These old men no dey shame at all. They conspicuously leave national issues like light, water, food, road e.t.c and conspicuously engage in trivialities. 26 Likes 1 Share |

Nobody wants to get associated with a nobody but when you become famous, the people that rejected you will be the first to start drawing close. No wonder Jesus said, "the rejected stone will become the corner stone". Hypocrisy at its peak. 9 Likes 1 Share |
