The Maracana Pitch at Tolu in Ajegunle is a famous football ground where many Super Eagles players have been discovered. Along with the Navy Pitch (also in Ajegunle), Maracana pitch has been the breeding ground for stars like Emmanuel Amunike and Wilfred Ndidi. Chief Nathaniel Idowu was a multimillionaire who pumped a lot of money into Nigerian football in the 1970s, '80s and '90s. He was the chairman of Leyland (they made trucks and buses at their plant in Ibadan), owned several hotels (if I remember correctly, he owned Newcastle Hotel in Anthony Village) and I remember that he also owned a bank, but I can't remember which one. He also had shares in Tottenham Hotspur football club. He pumped so much money into Nigerian football that the Federal Government appointed him to the NFA board. One of his children, Yemi Idowu took over his businesses after he died (he was behind the renovation of the Maracana Pitch in Ajegunle), while another of his children, Phillips Idowu competed for Great Britain in track and field athletics. Chief Nathaniel Idowu died in 2010. The Nathaniel Idowu Foundation was responsible for renovating the Maracana Football Pitch in Ajegunle. Picture 1: The old Maracana pitch in Ajegunle.

Yemi Idowu is the son of Chief Nathaniel Idowu. He is a non-executive director of Sterling Bank and was once chairman of Sterling Capital. He also serves as chairman of Leyland Nigeria. He is a director of the Lagos Junior League and the current chairman of Nathaniel Boys Football Club where the likes of Leicester City F.C. midfield maestro Wilfred Ndidi started his career from. He runs the Nathaniel Idowu Foundation which renovated the Maracana football pitch in Ajegunle. 54 Likes 2 Shares
