At a time when the union desperately needs transparency, fairness and strict adherence to its constitution, Ogbonna Nwachukwu has come under intense criticism over allegations that he has consistently conducted himself as though the OWU Constitution is subordinate to his personal decisions, the CTC Chairman, Rev. Sam Ekeledo, and even the collective wisdom of Ohuhu traditional rulers. The most troubling aspect of the unfolding crisis is the allegation that the CTC Secretary has repeatedly told individuals and some candidates that nobody will tell him what to do, not even the OWU Constitution. If these statements are accurate...

Not every football journey begins in a famous academy or under the lights of a major stadium. Some begin on modest pitches, in towns far from the attention of scouts and the international spotlight.
