He was joined by representatives of First Bank PLC, Lagos State Sports Commission, Integral, Olympic and World Championships medalist, Blessing Okagbare, an ambassador for the sports clinic and lots and lots of excited children ready to take part in a day of sporting fun!
The sports clinic teaches kids to explore their athletic abilities by taking part in sporting activities like sprinting, long jump, hurdles and much more and yes, BollyLomo got involved in the action, bravely racing Blessing…
“I am very happy to have won the 100 metres,” BollyLomo jokes.
“Hey…shake me…LOSER!” Blessing gloats after beating BollyLomo in the race.
The overall message of the sports clinic?…That young children should follow their dreams no matter how different that dream may be from everyone else’s and you never know, you could just be the next Blessing Okagbare, Olusoji Fasuba or Chioma Ajunwa!
“This is the second year I’ve been working with [First Bank]…the sports clinic helps the kids feel like their talents are recognised and it helps them to build on what they have…which is something I didn’t have growing up,” Blessing said.
“If they want to do track, they should take it seriously, they should dwell on it…it helps them to grow,” she added.
In a society that glorifies academic achievements and puts sport aside for those that aren’t ‘intelligent’ the First Bank sports clinic has really opened the doors for young children that have talent but need a supportive platform to nurture that talent into something… spectacular!

Before you judge Bolly…Can YOU run faster than Blessing? LOL. Thanks for
watching! Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE!
Bolly, you are a very engaging host and emcee. You had great chemistry with
Blessing – perhaps you should look for someone like her in a partner:
strong, outgoing and beautiful. Great job with this one! :)
Glad to see that a fun time was had by all…Bolly can hold his own on the
track, he may just be an upcoming track Olympian!!!
Thank God at least he got a chance to burn off the calories from all the
Amala he has eaten so far on this channel. :)
With her hair like that, she is very beautiful. Nigeria needs to back her
even more.
Let’s hope the administration will follow Blessing’s example so that we can
win gold in 2020.
Nice
