American music superstar, Stevie Wonder, is among the top stars expected in Nigeria for the country’s leg of the Nelson Mandela Commonwealth Nations and America Unifying Wrestling Championship, which will also hold in South Africa, the United States and Britain.

According to the Project Coordinator, ace musician, Tee Mac Itseli, the multi-talented Grammy Award winning star, will lead a strong cast of stars from the United States, Britain and South Africa, who will join Nigerians (musicians and comedians) to spice up the wrestling carnival in honour of the late Mandela.


According to Tee Mac, “we have some interesting stars coming for the event, but I think the coming of Stevie Wonder for the event further testifies to the power of Mandela name to draw the best in all areas even in death.


“Soon, we will come out with the list of all the participants in the championship, which is a collaboration of the South African High Commission, American embassy and the Ultimate Wrestling and Charity Organization (TUWCO).

Meanwhile, Universal Professional Wrestling Federation’s (UPWF) world champion, Nigeria’s Osita Offor, also known as De Ultimate Commander, has gone into camp to prepare for the championship, which will see him facing some of the top wrestlers in the profession.

The Nelson Mandela Commonwealth Nations and America Unifying Championship will take Nigerian, American, Canadian, South African and European wrestlers to South Africa, Britain, the US, Canada and Nigeria in celebration of the late South African legend, Dr. Nelson Mandela.

De Ultimate Commander said he has concluded consultations with top local and foreign wrestlers to ensure that he emerged from the bouts with his title still intact, adding that he is going into a closed camp to ensure full concentration in his preparation for the event.

“I am training locally here with Jimmy Palm because I want this title to remain in Nigeria.  “I have also been in touch with my coach, Jimmy Superfly Snuka, as well as the Barbarian and Earthquake because they are the ones in charge of my training.   I am waiting for certain things before I join them in the US,” he added.

De Commander said the Mandela Championship will begin in the South African cities of Johannesburg and Durban on July 18 and 20 respectively, hold in Lagos (July 25), Abia (July 27) and two cities in Britain on August 1 and 3, 2014.

On August 9 and 16, the championship will hold in the United States’ cities of Dallas and North Carolina on August 9 and 16, while the Canada leg on August 23 will round off the programme.

AUGUST 18, 2014 BY AGENCY REPORTER

Abia State Governor, Dr. Theodore Orji, has pledged his government’s support for the Commonwealth/Americas Unifying Wrestling Championship billed for Aba on August 31. The championship, which will feature wrestlers from the Commonwealth nations and the Americas, also involves some of Nigeria’s best musicians, who are expected to entertain the fans at intervals during the event which holds at the Luxury City Hotel, Umungasi, Aba.

Speaking in his office when the UPWF World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, Osita Offor, also known as De Ultimate Commander, paid him a courtesy call, represented by his, Governor Orji said during a courtesy call by the UPWF World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, Osita Offor (a.k.a. De Ultimate Commander), to his office that he was delighted with the ‘big event’ happening in his state.

The governor, who was represented by his deputy, Emeka Ananaba, said the fall-outs of the championship would help Abia State in its youth development programme.

Tolexander: march 2014 is gone. Haven't they fought?

Ishilove: Hi.

ONWARDBABA: Availble

tmanuelle: Yes sir, a complex - comprises of a couple of structures, the VP's wing, and all that. But does the president live in all these structures? He definitely must have a designated wing for himself, his family, his office and his details (that's why I used "Presidential Palace" in my post).

Note: I am not taking this whole thing personally. No problem if I learn from you, that's the essence of a forum. I have asked myself so many times; how does the Aso Rock Villa look like?

tmanuelle: Bros you are mixing up many things. The bone of contention here as most people will agree with me is that we want to have an idea of what the Presidential Palace looks like, not about tourism or visit as I totally support the heavy security to control access to the facility because of the nature of things around here.

There should at least be a published picture, same way we have those of the NASS Complex and the Supreme Court.
Having access to the picture is not the same as having the coordinates of the location of the president's chamber in the villa, it's not the same as knowing the geometry of the bunkers we have there in, it's not the same as knowing which wall is concrete/armoured/electrified or which is ordinary bricks, its not the same as knowing where we have armoured or ordinary doors installed...

That's too much of secrecy sir.

tmanuelle: What's important right now is that a lot of us want to see a typical picture of the Aso Villa (the Presidential Palace), not some interior pix, not some walkway, not some president's 'oval' office, not some banquet hall pix. We see some of these things on NTA news every other day.

We want to see a true representation of where our president lives. I have never being to London neither have I seen Washington DC in my sleep, but I do recognise the Buckingham Palace and the White House and some other "Power Houses" in the world whenever I see them in pictures, even without a label.

Can anyone lay hands on this picture(s) without being arrested and charged for national security threat/terrorism?

That's the essence of the thread boss.
