In a bid to ensure that every child has access to
education, StayInSchool Nigeria Initiative, a project of Young Minds
Foundation, has come up with a seemingly lasting way to match philanthropy with
fun and entertainment – because what unites Nigerians more than a good cause
and football?
We’ve seen comedians go up against each other; Musicians have
proven they are more than just lyrically fit; Twitter star players have razzled
and dazzled the crowd with fancy footwork; What is next for Football for A
Cause, you ask? There’s a lot more on the line this year!
If, for some reason, you’re just crawling out
from under a rock and haven’t heard about Football For A Cause, or ever
attended any of the games, you’re in for a real treat this year. In addition to
the usual host of celebrities who make an appearance, players from different
companies in Nigeria will be joining the celebrities to represent their brands
and possibly emerge champions. The fact that this in turn raises money for out
of school kids in Nigeria is just a sweet bonus.

Celebrities such as AY, Bovi, Akpororo, Mr Raw,
Sound Sultan, Rugged man, Mc Senator, Elenu, Teju Baby Face, Basorge, Do2dtun,
Laugh Up, Funny Bone and a lot more will hit the pitch in lending their voice
to education of the street child.
