By Ella Michaels
The city of Owerri is buzzing with excitement as Dr. Chima Amadi's ₦200 million Yuletide Philanthropy brings joy, empowerment, and transformation to the community. The month-long celebration, which kicked off on December 1st, features a range of activities, including a highly anticipated football tournament, a women's sports event, and a 10km Marathon ¹.
The football tournament, which features 25 local teams from Ngor Okpala, is a thrilling competition with substantial prizes on offer, including ₦3 million for the champions, ₦2 million for the runners-up, and ₦1 million for third place. To support participation, every team received ₦100,000 to aid in preparations. The tournament has also introduced individual awards, including ₦100,000 for the Best Player and Highest Goal Scorer, and ₦50,000 for the Best Goalkeeper.
But Dr. Amadi's philanthropy goes beyond sports. His commitment to empowering women and inspiring future female athletes is evident in the dedicated women's sports event, which features prizes that mirror the men's tournament. Women from across the Owerri zone are showcasing their athleticism and teamwork, competing in a range of events.
The month-long festivities will culminate on December 31st with a series of unforgettable events, including the 10km Marathon, which will bring together athletes and fitness enthusiasts from across the region. The excitement will seamlessly transition into an End-of-Year Party, a vibrant celebration of community, featuring live entertainment, cultural displays, and a festive atmosphere that unites people from all walks of life.
But the pièce de résistance is Dr. Amadi's extraordinary act of generosity: ₦50,000 cash donations to 1,000 widows, providing them with renewed hope and dignity as they step into the new year. This generosity is further amplified by scholarships for hundreds of deserving students, comprehensive health insurance for vulnerable families, and grants for small business owners—initiatives designed to empower individuals and build stronger communities.
Dr. Amadi's commitment to grassroots development is evident in his continued support for the Ngor Okpala community. His philanthropy is not just a seasonal celebration but a movement that inspires hope, opportunity, and unity across Imo State. By integrating entertainment with empowerment, Dr. Amadi is crafting a model of philanthropy that transforms lives on every level.
