Imperative of The Boki 2024 Unity Cup

Boki Local Government Area in Cross River State like many other parts of Nigeria is constantly striving to meet her social needs. This practice is fundamentally focused on ‘welfarism’ of inhabitants.

It is however instructive to note that such anticipated fresh air does not survive in an atmosphere of chaos, fears among other vices deemed ‘inhumane’. Suffice to say, peace a product of love, forgiveness and general empathy is the centerpiece of development.

This proposition underscores the relevance of a novelty initiative undertaken by Boki Youths geared towards bonding and capacity building in terms of sport development for the locale and state by extension.

The Boki, National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) under abled leadership of Comrade, Ekiewa Douglas Jnr is poised to promote unification and consolidation on Boki ideals of brotherhood through the Unity Cup. Recall that sometimes last year, this Youths oriented organization leveraged on the propensity of Football to assemble youths of this extraction with a view to showcase their footballing skills and patriotism to nationhood.

Testimonies from the competition abound including spotlighting Boki sportsmanship during the 2023 edition of Governor’s Cup with spectacular performances trailing. It is heartwarming to add that these groomed talents of Boki ancestry lived to expectation of admirer while on the pitch.  

History beckons in 2024 for another sumptuous edition projected to surpass the previous. New layer to this competition is the environmental consciousness it brings to fore. The organizers in partnership with the Wild Life Conservation Society are exploring options of ecological friendliness as custodian of richest tropical rainforest reserve in Nigeria.

As a norm, political wards and spirited individuals willing to sponsor clubs are registered with the Local Organizing Committee for the all-important August event.

 However, success and otherwise of scheduled 2024 Boki Unity (Gorilla) Cup depends largely on the stake of players, match officials, security Agents, sponsors, media practitioners, elites, clergy, political leaders, orchestra among other critical stakeholders. My take, do not be caught in the wrong side of history by not participating. See you there!!!
