Paul Ngadiuba 


Paul Ngadiuba, the Founder and Promoter of   Ngadiuba Football Club was on   March 14, 2025 listed by Sportsville as one of the great personalities doing great work in discovering, inspiring and motivating new talents in sports.


The  our industrious banker, Ngadiuba  was listed among other top greats in football and sports administration, including Fanny Amu,  the Coach who won for Nigeria the 2nd U-17 FIFA World Cup; Professor Florence Adeyanju, the President of Association of Nigerian Women in Sports; and the President of the Cycling Federation of Nigeria, Giadomeneco Masari.


Ariam/Usaka, Ikwuano LGA, Abia State-born Ngadiuba  was recognized for his innovation in talent hunting and motivation of the neglected in the society but who are unable to exploit the windows of their football talents to excel.


It's heartwarming to recall that the young Paul Ngadiuba has been spending all his financial and physical strength to train and bring up new  crop of talented young men and women from Ariam/Usaka, Ikwuano and Abia State and most of them are now playing in Nigeria, Europe and Asia through his stable.


The good news about this sports recognition and award is that Paul Ngadiuba never asked nor paid for it - confirming that a golden fish has no hiding place.


However, the irony of this recognition is that many of our youths have refused to cue into Ngadiuba's vision and ambition to impact positively on Ikwuano communities and Abia State as a whole through football. That may be why FC NGADIUBA Football Club has its operational headquarters in another State in Nigeria instead of Abia State.


It is imperative, therefore, that the government should give great support and encouragement to FC NGADIUBA so that this type of grassroot sports-loving personality will help to rewrite the template of football future.


On the 21st of March, 2025 at Eko Club, the street of Bode Thomas, Surulere, Lagos will witness the presence of a galaxy of people who are working quietly to help our young ones become football and other sports greats.


Ikwuano, let us be bold to appreciate him, and if you can, please be there to cheer him up.


Once more more, 

Congratulations to Paul Ngadiuba!


Congratulations to FC NGADIUBA!!


Congratulations to Ikwuano!!!
