The Obosi Development Union(ODU) President
General, Chimezie Obi (Esq) has said that football had become a tool for
unifying the people of Obosi, who hail from different villages that make up the
Obosi-inland town.
He made the comment when he presented a football
trophy to the Indomitable Rams of Ire Village, the winners of the 2024
Obosi-inland town inter-village football competition.
Obi further said that the annual Obosi-inland
town inter-village football competition offers football coaches the
opportunity to discover football talents, who would be nurtured to stardom and
greatness.
He went down memory lane, stating, without
equivocation, that Obosi town had, in the past, produced such great footballers
as the late Ogidi Ibeabuchi, a one-time star player of Rangers
International FC of Enugu and Arthur Ebunam, who was a member of the CKC
of Onitsha world-conquering secondary school team.
The 2024 Obosi-inland town football competition was
won by the Indomitable Rams of Ire village.
The team piped the Rivers Boys of Ugamuma 1-0 in a
scintillating and tension-soaked match.
Earlier in the day, the Warriors of Mmakwum village
