When Naija Celebrities Came Out For A Worthy Cause

It was fun and colour at the Unilag Sports Centre at the weekend where celebrities
from different fields in the entertainment industry came together to play football in
an attempt to raise awareness for Out-of-School kids and raise funds for 200 such
children. The event, which was tagged 'Football For A Cause ', was organized by a
volunteer driven project StayInSchoolng Initiative.
The roll call on the field was overwhelming with the likes of Naeto C, Skales,
Shaydee, Olisa, Elenu, Owen Gee, Seyi Law, Akpororo, Omobaba, Senator, Funny
Bone...
Others: Wale Rubber, Breeze and Uche of City FM, Nedu, Damirez of Top Radio, Mc
Abbey, Kollertunz, Kayode Peters, Yaw, Adams Soundcity, Bonus, Wole MD EXP
Marketing amongst others gracing the pitch to display their skills.
The guests were in for a comical match as the comedians dominated the pitch
dribbling and running commentaries simultaneously. The highpoint of the match
was a lone goal from Breeze of City FM which saw Team Green captained by Naeto
C go home with the trophy at the end of the match.
Speaking on the event, Coordinator of theStayInSchoolng Initiative Tricia
Ikponmwonba said 'The concept of merging entertainment and football was a
difficult but rewarding experience, we are grateful to all the celebrities who took
out time to come out to support us. We have previously enrolled 75children into
schools and will be enrolling 200 more children in the following week.
The fight for education for the street child continues as we commence preparations
for Season 2. See Football For A Cause in pictures below.
