Project Adviser: Ojeikere Aikhoje. NIGERIAN GOLDEN LEGENDS This graphic novel is an attempt to tell the story of the performance of Team Nigeria athletes at the Olympic Games in Atlanta 1996, while bearing in mind the socio-political situation that existed in Nigeria at that point in time. The 40-page graphic novel is written by Cornelius Ehimiaghe and Akinboye Sunkanmi who is a UNIBEN graduate and one of the leading graphic novel illustrators in West Africa. This graphic novel is published by Community Sport and Educational Development (CSED), as part of achieving their goal of using sports to promote a book reading culture among Nigerian children and youths. The current generation of Nigerians have not witnessed their athletes climbing the podium to collect an Olympic gold medal. This graphic novel would take readers back to the decade when Chioma Ajunwa and eighteen Nigerian footballers won the hearts and minds of millions of television viewers all over the world, by their grass to grace performance. This graphic novel is going to be a good read for children, teenagers and their parents, who participated in the nationwide celebration to mark the historic achievement of the Nigerian golden legends. You have heard the tales and you have watched the video clips. But you must read the graphic novel that brings the story and images of these historic events back to life, in a new form. This is a must read graphic novel of the year. Somewhere in Lagos, Nigeria. I heard AY won another award for that movie; 30 Days in Atlanta. He deserves It. He's the best NIGERIAN entertainer to have performed in the USA. Ta! It's like you've never heard of Shade Adu. Shade Adu is in the past. The best is PSquare. When I remember, I remember Atlanta '96, aye aye water run commot my eye o! What do you children know about the best Nigerian entertainers in USA? How many of you know about the Atlanta 1996 summer Olympics, hmm? 20 years ago, before we had the internet, mobile phones and ATM machines in this country, Nigeria was under a military dictatorship and you could count the friends of Nigeria with the fingers of your hands. GeneralGeneral SaniSani AbachaAbacha The political situation was volatile. The cost of basic foodstuff increased by the day... LIE DOWN!! YOU BLOODY CIVILIAN!!! OGA SOLDIER, Wetin I DO? The economic situation was terrible and it made the cost of living so high, having three square meals was difficult for the average Nigerian family. However, 1996 was a Leap Year, which meant it was the year when the Olympic Games are held. This meeting of the global family provides the youths of the world the opportunity to test their strength and endurance against each other. The City of Atlanta in the State of Georgia, USA was the host city of this event, which was the 26th series in the Olympic Games. Team Nigeria was made up of 65 athletes who had qualified to take part in nine events (athletics, badminton, boxing, football, judo, table-tennis, tennis, weightlifting and wrestling). Since Nigeria's first participation in these Games in 1952, our athletes have not been able to win a gold medal. Team Nigeria athletes of 1996 were not expected to be different from their predecessors. The Nigerian football team alongside Ghana and Tunisia qualified to represent Africa in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. In their last home friendly match against Togo, Nigeria lost woefully and the football fans booed the players off the field. The next morning, the newspapers and electronic media had criticised the performance of the Nigerian players. This was not helped when it later emerged that there was in-fighting between the players and coaching staff of the Nigerian team. It was even suggested that the team should be disbanded in order to save the country from further embarrassment. Na wa for these boys o. The match vex me no be small! Dem suppose comot dat yeye coach wey dem get. The man no sabi football at all, at all! See as small Togo thrash us! chai! NTA Sports I must say that was a really disappointing match yesterday. I agree, Femi. The Togolese had us on the back-foot from the start of the match. I don't understand what happened to our team. our players played as if they were playing together for the first time. I tell you, I'm not looking forward to this team's matches at the upcoming Olympic games. It appears we will have to depend on our track and field events if we are expecting anything noteworthy from these olympic games. Two days later, in Aso Rock Villa, Abuja). My boss is in a meeting with the Head of State at What have the moment. You mean that I done Sir? you are one of the lackeys of the West, who is hell-bent on sabotaging the government of our great leader? Good evening Sir, the Chief Security Officer invited me to a meeting. I am the Director of Athletes’ Performance in the Ministry of Youths and Sports. Is your Ministry not responsible for the Nigerian national football team? Did you not watch the football nightmare of a match against Togo? That was just a friendly match, Sir. I am also responsible for the good preparation of the other athletes who are going to represent Nigeria in the forthcoming Olympic Games. The Games is about participation and friendship. Friendship my foot! You call yourself a Sports administrator and you do not know anything about the politics of sports! Do you not know that Nigeria doing well in football will boost the psyche of Nigerians. More importantly it will divert their attention, and make them forget about protesting against the current regime? But sir, if we do not do well in football, we could do well in the eight other sports events. Football is the king of sports!!! The other sports are jara. Get this straight! any repeat of the Togo incident in Atlanta '96, would leave me and my boss with no other option than to sack you and ban Nigeria from taking part in international football for the next two years! I will also make sure you and the players do not return to Nigeria ever again!!! But… but... Shut up! I don't want to see your face again. Now get out of my office!!! Phew! That was like facing a raging volcano. NFA Board Members had to hold an emergency meeting in order to prevent a poor performance by the Nigerian football team at the Olympic Games. Summer Olympics Atlanta 1996 Opening Ceremony. Muhammed Ali lit the Olympic flame. PresidentPresident BillBill Clinton,Clinton, USAUSA Billy Payne, Chairman ACOG JoseJose AntonioAntonio Samaranch,Samaranch, IOCIOC PresidentPresident When the different events started, there was no hiding place for the faint-hearted. the wheat were gradually separated from the chaff. I heard that NTA is broadcasting some of the events of the Olympic Games. Back home in Nigeria, watching the unfolding events of Atlanta '96 on their TV sets was a welcome diversion from the reality of hunger and mass unemployment in the land. Nigerians watched as their athletes were eliminated in different events. NTA Sports It appears Nigeria still doesn't stand a chance OF winning any medals in this Olympic event. What of the FOOTBALL team? Do you think they might surprise us? “I doubt it, the Nigerian football team struggled to win their group matches against Hungary and Japan. Unsurprisingly they lost their last group match against Brazil.” Still, FOOTBALL Mexico is tough really is about but for the sake of winning and so far, argument, let's say we Nigeria has managed beat them too. Then who to scrape through do we face again? Brazil. with goal difference This brings us back to face Mexico. to square one. That is one match I doubt we will survive. After another unconvincing two-nil victory against Mexico, Nigeria qualified to play against Brazil in the semi-final match. In the Brazilian squad they have the likes of Bebeto, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo, Aldair and juninho. Brazil will be looking to destroy us and it's just a case of how many goals the Brazilian team is going to score. Kickoff. Two minutes into the match, Coceicao’s powerful free kick gave the Brazilians the lead. Nigeria levelled the match, 18 minutes Roberto Carlos after Roberto Carlos mis-kicked a shot O.G. 20th min. by Nigeria’s Celestine Babayaro into the Brazilian own net.

  • Human Trafficking in and Through Football: Case Studies Involving “Fake Agents”

    Human Trafficking in and Through Football: Case Studies Involving “Fake Agents”

    Human Trafficking in and through Football: case studies involving “fake agents” Background It is a well know fact that the game of football and the successes of its players have instigated a growing aspiration within youngsters all over the world. The need to develop such young talents have led to the recruitment young boys, and increasingly girls, in many parts of the Global South, namely on the African and Latin American continents. In the same light, it has also increased the motivation of traffickers to prey on aspiring young talents who often lack the opportunities that some of the peers in the Western world possess. In 2015, an article in the international press claimed that 15,000 young players were moved from West Africa yearly under false pretence.1 The hidden nature of the crime means that the number could be higher. In Belgium, 442 cases of ‘African soccer slaves’ were uncovered by Senator Jean Marie Dedecker when he exposed the illegal trade in Nigerian players within European football2. When moving alone to unknown places, children are always in danger of becoming victims of crimes like human trafficking and other forms of slavery. Illicit recruitment agents use the world of football to make money by faking contracts and luring young African players to migrate to Europe under illegal conditions, only to abandon them as soon as they can. Even though sometimes the athletes migrate through legal routes, they end up becoming illegal by overstaying their visas.3 In some cases, young people are given short-term visas and contracts for trials with clubs in Europe, entering the destination country even by airplane, often paid for by the hard-earned money borrowed or given to them by their immediate or extended families.
