For many NFL fans, the idea of American football taking root in Nigeria may seem distant. But to Ojabo and Madubuike, both of whom are of Nigerian descent, the country is brimming with raw, untapped potential. Coach Jordan Collins from the United States, who joined the camp to assist, commended the children’s work ethic. “They’re embracing the coaching, working hard, and loving the game. It’s been an absolute pleasure.”While American football was at the heart of the event, the camp’s broader aim was to build character and confidence. Drills focused not only on physical skills but also on teamwork, discipline, and resilience.

We’re focused on total development—mentally, physically, and morally.
