Youth Basketball Camp and Scholarship by Olumide Oyedeji

Olumide Oyedeji back with his initiative

Any member on this forum interested in playing basketball?

Olumide Oyedeji, the prolific basketball player, is organizing a [basketball] camp which will commence from August 29 through September 3rd.  It will take place in UNILAG basketball court, the form is about 500 naira and 9 discovered youths will be given scholarship to study in the USA. 

This is not a joke, I work with the Guardian Newspapers and he organized a press conference on Thursday in Lagos before moving to Abuja for their camp. 

[Still] doubting?  Check out Friday papers.  He even said nine youths went to US last year but it was for youths under 5-18.

just to aks if i can obtain the form because i'm not in lag i'm  how ae my going to get it before then?

    i saw your post on nairaland about the bball camp coming up in lagos.i have been coaching youth basketball for the last 10 years and to be truthful i am dissappointed at the attitude of those in authority.i have been sending boys to the camp for the last two yearsand i am sorry to say that i am not impressed at all.

    please note that i respect the effort that is being made,its just that i feel that the right things are not being done.i wish i could have the opportunity of expressing my views on a larger sale.please check out my teams website at www.j-kinsbasketball.8m.com

I read there was one Nigerian who was drafted into the NBA straight from Naija. I have forgotten his name. Does anybody know his name?
