What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope y'all are having an amazing day and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful World! Today is a beautiful day and I come with another exciting blog post.
Today's post is dedicated to a man I've known for years. His name is Colonel Samuel Ahmedu(RTD).
Col. Sam; as everyone respectfully calls him 😊, is a good man, who has been a pioneering philanthropist and support to young and promising athletes in Nigeria for my years. He has helped many athletes in Nigeria and around Africa achieve their basketball dream of either going to the U.S to play in college or Europe to play pro-basketball.

He runs two basketball clubs called Dodan Warriors and Dodan Amazons. His clubs have helped men and women become part of something bigger than themselves. He sponsors them to local and international events where they compete and are given the opportunity to get college scholarships or pro deals.

For those of you, who are not familiar with the economic situation in Nigeria; it is hard for a lot of people to make ends meet. For some, even to afford one meal a day, is nearly impossible. Col. Sam uses his organization and resources to meet many needs. His dedication to helping the needy has helped propel many to achieve their dreams.

Col. Sam is a good man. I have great admiration for him and the work he's committed to doing. In ensuring that young and aspiring athletes in Nigeria and across Africa have a chance, at achieving their dreams, he's inspired many to not give up. Therefore, it comes as no surprise to me that He's been re-elected FIBA Africa Zone 3 President, for the third time. This means that the next four years, FIBA Africa will get to enjoy his distinguished leadership, in representing the Continent of Africa at different world events, while presenting the needs of African athletes to those who matter.

Congratulations Colonel Samuel Ahmedu! May this be the beginning of many more blessings to come in Jesus Name. Amen!!!
Thank you for giving me the permission to write about you on my blog😇.

With utmost respect and admiration,

Maryam
