Discovering & Developing Future Olympians to Deliver Medals on the Global Stage In late 2012, independent filmmaker Bambo Akani started the journey of making the documentary Making of Champions: “The History”, after being tired of seeing Nigeria, blessed with so many people of natural athletic ability, underperform at the pinnacle of sports, the Olympic Games. Making of Champions: “The History” is a feature length documentary charting the rise and fall of Nigerian Athletics chronicles Nigeria’s full Olympic Medal History in Track & Field, and lays the foundation for how Nigeria can return to reckoning on the world stage and even dominate the sport in years to come! It features many of Nigeria’s Olympic Stars of time past, such as Innocent Egbunike, Mary Onyali-Omagbemi, Falilat Ogunkoya-Omotayo, Enefiok Udo-Obong, Francis Obikwelu and Glory Alozie! The ultimate goal for the Making of Champions: “The History” is to awaken Nigerians and West Africans to the vast potential of the country and region in Track and Field, rekindle the interest for the sport, and start a movement that will enable Team Nigeria to once again compete with the best in the world! Making of Champions Limited (www.makingofchamps.com) is a Sports Management & Film-Making Company set up to elevate the profile and performance of Sports in Nigeria and the rest of Africa, and is dedicated to maximising the potential that sports has to bring the country, and the continent on a whole, together. Making of Champion’s mission to revolutionise Sports in Africa is certainly not limited to Track & Field. The company has already provided consulting services at the highest level of sports in Nigeria, presenting critical frameworks for creating High Performance Systems for the Sports Ministry, and the Athletics, Boxing, Taekwondo, Weightlifting and Wrestling National Federations!
