Good people all hail Yahweh for bringing us into 2012. It is not easy making it to another hopeful exciting sporting year.
As usual, we pledge to feed your appetite with those who have contributed to sports in their different ways. It is in this vein that this week we are presenting to you someone who has taken the pain under sun and rain to see that you read sports stories in the media, a man you describe as a brother without borders. He writes sports, he talks sports and above all shares his love to all in many capacities through, non-indigenes but from his contribution to sports in Rivers State, he deserves a chieftaincy title from the state.
Please help me to welcome the scribe of Rivers State SWAN, Olalekan Ige, as The Newswriters Sports Personality of the Week for without him who knows Rivers SWAN may not be in existence, for this reason he deserved this column.
