~By Oluwaseun Trust Bethnews

In a world where sports leadership often collide, Yomi Elijah emerges as a compelling figure whose football journey is defined by a blend of dedication, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to serving other and to do exploit in the Nigerian football arena. This my little piece explores the life, career, and values of CEO School Sports Foundation and experience grassroot sports developer coach Yomi Elijah, who’s making Osun State proud in all ramifications.

I vividly remember early 90s during my junior secondary school, Coach Yomi Elijah was our senior game prefect at Methodist Highschool Eruku, Kwara State. His popular football name then was “Abayomi didodido” literarily translated (Abayomi the great dribbler) whenever he’s on the pitch playing good football no opponent do near him as opponent/defender stylishly ran away from him in order to avoid being embarrassed by his unexpected/skilful dribbling they might encounter with him.

He was so good and too exceptional on the pitch to the extent he became very popular in the whole of Kwara State.
Honestly, and without mincing words; Yomi Elijah’s passion for good football leadership in Kwara and Osun metropolis has left an indelible mark on those he has encountered.
From below pictures, Coach Yomi Elijah was awesomely and wholeheartedly celebrated by Governor Adeleke and Honorable Speaker for his brilliant performance.

Watch out, sooner than expected, with his personal growth and grassroot coaching experiences ‘Yomi Elijah’ would coach Super Eagles one day.

I salute you Senior and Egbon to Gbayi.
