The Nigerian Ex International and ambassador for sports in boxing, Mazi Ikechukwu Okoronkwo has expressed bitterness on the way Nigerian boxing system is going. Mazi Okoronkwo who expressed this through a letter to his personal media aide Mr Obiagwu chrys, directed to the Nigerian Boxing federation showed how painful and concerned he has been on the way boxing system is managed in Nigeria.
The letter reads
When we represented Nigeria at World under 19 Boxing championship at Montreal Canada. (Youth Olympics)
I remembered my seconds (coach) advised me when I won Algeria to meet boxer from Germany.
The coach said,
“what we needed is victory”
THEREFORE FOR NIGERIA BOXING DEVELOPMENT. ALL WHAT OUR BOXERS NEEDED NOW IS POSITIVE WAY TO VICTORY (PLEASE TELL ANY ONE YOU ARE SUPPORTING TO WORK HARDER)
IN NIGERIA SYSTEM WE ARE NOT USED TO REMEMBERING GOOD WORK ONLY THE BAD
SORRY I DID NOT KNOW THE GOOD THINGS DONE BY MINIMAL. HOWEVER GOD BLESS HIM FOR THOSE GOOD WORK
But he has to wake up and stand firm for boxing because when his house is not in order ,it is the man of the house that people blame. eg. GCFR Buhari. Because NBF problem is exactly like Nigeria problem.
The minister told me that NBF is divided into 3 groups but In my investigation I find out,that there are even four groups fighting for the control of the game namely Minimal,Ayeni,Oldschool and omogege but it is our boxers, coaches and R&J that is suffering as the result of the fight
Now it is the duty of those interested group to use the case of inefficient and embezzlement of fund to fight their opponent to victory for the benefit of justice and accountability.
I understood that there are reservation now for many of us.
My Voicing out only expose two groups supporters.
I have respect for my team mate both ex National and ex International and would not take any action that would effect our unity.
GOD IS GREAT AND TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY.
ACTIONS: IN VIEW OF ME AND SOME OTHERS WHOM TOOK A SOLID STAND THAT WE WILL NOT CONTEST ANY POLITICAL OFFICE OR BOARD MEMBERSHIP POSITION DUE TO OUR TIGHT SCHEDULE AMONG OTHER COGENT REASONS. ARE.
WE WILL HELP OUR YOUTH TO BUILD THEIR. CAPACITY THROUGH BOXING THAT MADE US WHO WE ARE TODAY.
(1) We want peace and unity as NBF matters are in the hands of God
(2) Everyone of us will go to his Community, State and zone to develop boxing at the grassroot or support any coache that wishes to help the young children.
Our work will only be to support the LG, State and National coaches effort.
(3) That we will continue to monitor NBF program and to directly sponsor State, National tournament and International Boxing championship to help Nigeria boxers without waiting for Government funds.
We will be natural in the board election.
Whomever God and the people put as the President, we will help to achieve good results.
WE ARE ONE FAMILY, ONE LOVE
God bless you from Mazi Ikechukwu Okoronkwo aka Jargarazar.
