 "I was handed a Qur’an by a Muslim Proselytizer today.  Let me explain: I was at JFK Airport waiting lot because of Tarmac delay of arrival planes. I decided to come out of the vehicle and continue praying Lauds while enjoying the morning sun. I was equally admiring nature and nurture especially the vehicles at the parking lot. I noticed a young man beside a nice Lincoln Escalade pressing his phone. No contact. I kept doing my rounds praying. I added another dimension to the prayer. “Lord, I wish someone will appear from nowhere and ask me which of the vehicles will add value to my apostolate.” I would definitely point at the Escalade. Anyone who runs a hospital in Nigeria knows what a clean Escalade will help you do in one year.  As I approached my vehicle, I noticed the young man following me and calling out to me. Momentarily I thought the Escalade is about to change ownership. He rather stretched his hands to me asking if I may accept his gift of a book. The most int...

 International Olympic Day: Anambra Champions Sports Development and Healthy Living Among Youths


By Lilian Ezejiegu


As the global community celebrates International Olympic Day on June 23, Anambra State is seizing the moment to reaffirm its belief in the transformative power of sports  as a vehicle for youth empowerment, physical wellbeing, and the forging of stronger, more cohesive communities.


First observed in 1948 to mark the founding of the modern Olympic movement, International Olympic Day is a celebration of the universal values that sport embodies: excellence, friendship, and respect — values that transcend borders, languages, and cultural divides, speaking directly to our shared humanity.


In Anambra State, sports development has evolved from an afterthought into a deliberate pillar of the government's youth agenda. Under Governor Chukwuma Soludo's administration, investments in grassroots sports, inter-school competitions, and structured talent discovery programmes are creating visible pipelines for the next generation of champions, young athletes who may one day carry not just their personal dreams, but the pride of the state and nation, on the world stage.


Yet the significance of sports extends well beyond medals and podiums. Across Anambra's communities, sporting activities are building discipline, nurturing teamwork, promoting mental resilience, and providing young people with positive alternatives to idleness and social vices. In a state with a youthful and energetic population, this is governance with long-term vision.


As the Olympic flame of inspiration burns brightly this June 23, Anambra calls on its young people to embrace sports, not merely as a pastime, but as a discipline that builds character, opens doors, and prepares them for a future of excellence.

Because champions are not born on competition day, they are built every day, in every field, in every community across this great state.
